The history of Jembrana’s cacao cooperative, Kerta Semaya Samaniya (“KSS”) is characterized by perseverance, patience and creativity.

One of the key pillars of KSS’s strategy is gender equality. Historically, women were often limited to ‘helpers’ despite doing most of the work on the farm. The introduction of female-led trainings on good agricultural practices and post-harvesting processing has helped increase their self confidence as well the ability to train other female farmers across the farmer groups. Further, women can now join the cooperative, which allows them to sell their cacao directly to KSS and therefore gain full transparency of the income generated.

Contains dairy.
