In February 2023 Traidcraft plc, one of the pioneers of the Fairtrade movement, ceased trading.  Our thoughts are with all affected producers, suppliers, Traidcraft staff and passionate supporters. While this movement has lost one of its pioneers, the work very much continues.

Together, with fellow Fairtrade organisations like Cafédirect and The Fairtrade Foundation  we are well positioned to build on the legacy of Traidcraft – each in unique ways, while fair trade and ethical businesses in the UK continue to trade, proving every day that business can be done in ways which nourish people and protect the planet we all rely on.

We know that the need, and consumers desire for Fairtrade is more relevant than ever. 

If you have previously bought from Traidcraft, whether to run a stall, to stock your business or for personal use, you can buy Divine Chocolate directly from us. Please get in touch by filling in a trade application form: http://www.divinechocolate.com/page/trade-form 

Together, we can create fairer futures for all.

Happy International Women’s Day to all the powerful ladies out there 💖. This day is the perfect time to celebrate the achievements of women, and all the amazing things they do. 

That’s why we’ve teamed up with our favourite musical of all time – SIX!

One lucky winner will get the chance to enjoy SIX, live in London and an exclusive overnight stay at the 5-star London Marriott Hotel County Hall including breakfast fit for a Queen (with stunning views of Big Ben, The London Eye and Westminster Bridge). AND, if that wasn’t enough, you could also win a year’s supply of Divine Chocolate!

Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what the Metro think about this exceptional musical…

“Perfectly Executed” Metro

Reigning on stages in London and on tour across the UK, SIX is the hit musical everyone is losing their head over, retelling the sassiest story in British Her-story – the one you weren’t taught about in school – in an unmissable, 80-minute celebration of 21st century girl power.

Divine Chocolate are delighted to join hands with HALBA, Switzerland to contribute to sustainable livelihoods for cocoa farmers of the Kuapa Kokoo Farmer’s Union in Ghana through a multi-stakeholder approach across income diversification, climate resilience and biodiversity conservation.

As a result of this collaboration, Divine Chocolate will finance seeds for annual crops for 120 farmers within 30 hectares designated for Dynamic Agroforestry. Dynamic Agroforestry is a natural farming system that combines a wide variety of trees with crops, allowing farmers to grow diverse food staples like yam, maize, cassava, alongside cash crops such as cocoa and banana. Crucially, this system increases biodiversity and tree cover, which is vital to the long-term environmental sustainability of the region. With its contribution, the Divine Chocolate Producer Support and Development (PS&D) programme supports the efforts of HALBA and its project partners to,

– Enhance biodiversity
– Increase soil fertility
– Support food security, and
– Increase farmer income.


Furthermore, Divine Chocolate is supporting the Dynamic Agroforestry Project (DAF) by integrating DAF participants through Divine and Kuapa Kokoo’s Adult Literacy and Numeracy programme. This programme aims to increase levels of literacy and numeracy among Kuapa Kokoo farmers, especially women so that inequalities they have faced historically can be addressed. Desired results are increased participation of Kuapa Kokoo farmers in decision making, increased capacity to diversify their livelihoods, and better access to education and training for women in good agricultural practices and farm management.


Issues faced within the cocoa sector are systemic and long-standing and require multi-stakeholder and innovative approaches to overcome them. Divine Chocolate is proud to partner with HALBA to pilot a new era of collaboration opposed to competition. Sharing best practices within farmer led programmes, the two chocolate companies hope to learn from each other and path the way forward.
