The cacao industry has long focused on the beans, leaving much of the fruit unused. This not only wastes a valuable resource but also limits opportunities for cacao farmers to maximise their earnings. By using the entire cacao fruit to create our refreshing drink, we're changing that.

Every can of KAOBA represents more than just a delicious, honest beverage. It's a commitment to fairer practices and greater sustainability. We work closely with farmers to ensure they receive fair compensation and new revenue streams from the parts of the cacao fruit that were once discarded. This helps build stronger farming communities and creates a ripple effect of positive change.

Our mission is to challenge the status quo and create a system where farmers thrive, resources are respected, and the environment is protected. Just by sipping kaoba, you're helping reduce waste, support ethical production, and take a small but powerful step toward a fairer and more sustainable world. Together, we can sip toward change.

Empowering Cacao Farmers

Behind every can of KAOBA is a commitment to the farmers who make it possible. These hardworking individuals are the unseen backbone of the global chocolate industry, providing the cacao that fuels a multibillion-dollar market—yet they often go unrecognised and underpaid....and that's just not good enough!

At KAOBA, we're changing the story. By transforming the often-discarded cacao fruit into a refreshing drink, we create new income opportunities for farmers, allowing them to benefit from the entire fruit—not just the beans. This approach not only increases their earnings but also highlights their vital role in the chocolate industry.

We partner directly with farmers, ensuring they're fairly rewarded for their work. With every sip, you're helping uplift these unsung heroes, empowering them to build stronger communities and a sustainable future. Together, we can honour their contributions and create a system where everyone thrives.

From Unused to Extraordinary

Every year, a staggering 11 million metric tonnes of cacaofruit pulp are discarded, left to waste despite its natural sweetness and nutritional value. At kaoba, we've developed a process to extract juice from this often-overlooked pulp, transforming it into a refreshing drink. By turning waste into opportunity, we're reducing environmental impact and creating new income streams for farmers. It's a step toward a more sustainable and equitable cacao industry and that is very exciting!
