| Koa Switzerland | Take the chance to experience a unique addition to your world of flavors with the exotic taste of CocoA Juice. A taste that to date only reached the palates of just a few in the world.CocoA Juice is captured directly on the farms in the middle of the Ghanaian rain forests. Our dedicated team on the ground extracts the juice together withtraditional small scale farmers under hygienic and environmentally sustainable conditions.In a completely redesigned process, we combine traditional organic farming practices with modern-day technology and methodologies -all the while reducing food waste, increasing livelihood on rural areas and at the same time carrying the unique taste of CocoA into the world.CocoA's flavor originates from the pulp that surrounds the cocoa beans within the cocoa fruit. Through respectful cooperation with the cocoa farmers, our process neither interferes with traditional farming nor does it affect the quality of the beans, but generates an additional source of income for the hard-working farmers.Our project is a real Win-Win for everyone. Not only does our project bring the world a new exotic flavor, but it's also rich in antioxidants, increases the income of Ghanaian Farmers, creates more jobs, utilizes 25% more of the fruit rather than the current 10% figure, and more. | $5.5M | Debt Financing | May 11, 2022 |  |
