Niche Cocoa Company Limited is a Ghanaian cocoa company which was founded by Edmund Poku in 2007. The company exports its semi-finished by-products from Ghana to other companies in other countries internationally. Niche Cocoa started as Commodity Processing company with three associates all from different backgrounds two years after the company was established, Poku bought all of his partners' shares making it an entirely Ghanaian owned company. In 2011, Niche Cocoa company limited was then modified into Niche Cocoa.

Edmund Poku founded Niche Cocoa in 2007 after his MBA project work at Columbia Business School. After listening to his professor, he knew he will not be able to raise a capital of $12 million to start up. So Mr.Edmund Poku came to Ghana to raise that funds and out of $12 million, he was able to raise $4 million, which $2 million out of the $4 million was from his trust bank and the other $2 million was equity.[2]

The company's production is not the only objective, although Niche Cocoa has prioritized sustainability and the ongoing support for the country's cocoa farmers. Niche actively supports cocoa farmers in Ghana through an agreement which has two co-adjutant to purchase certified beans. Niche Cocoa has contributed a lot to the Ghanaian economy by making Ghana the second-largest producer of cocoa beans in the world.[3]

Niche Cocoa is a free zone company in Ghana whereby the challenges have not been many and during the electricity crisis in Ghana, Niche Cocoa was hardly seen off the national grid. The only fear of Niche Cocoa is that a creamy milk market could take advantage of the archaic sweetmeats sector of the cocoa processing companies but this is non-existent and the few available are more expensive than the imported ones which Niche bewail.[6]

We are a cocoa supplier that provides great natural cocoa ingredients to customers all over the world, working with partners across the supply chain to create indulgent treats for consumers and a positive future for cocoa.

Hershey has continued to deliver on our commitment of 100 percent independently verified cocoa, which we first achieved in 2020. Hershey sources cocoa through the world's most recognized cocoa certifying organizations: Fair Trade USA and Rainforest Alliance, and other independently verified programs through our suppliers that meet our Cocoa Key Requirements.

The Income Accelerator, which expands on programming included in our Cocoa For Good strategy, will support cocoa farmers, their families and cocoa farming communities through a multi-faceted approach focused on providing cash transfers, encouraging sustainable farm management practices, building primary schools in cocoa-growing communities and establishing additional village savings and loan associations (VSLAs).

Farmer groups provide a mechanism for farmers to enhance their negotiating power and gain access to valuable agricultural inputs, which increases the potential earnings and economic resilience of cocoa farmers and their families. With our support, farmers groups have been able to get cocoa certification and/or verification in compliance with credible sustainability standards. This has not only helped us reach our goal to source 100 percent independently verified cocoa, but it also ensures that the farmer groups and their farmers are paid a higher premium for their harvests.

As one of the first signatories of the Cocoa & Forests Initiative (CFI) Framework of Action in 2017, we have publicly declared a set of actions related to forest protection and restoration, sustainable production and farmer livelihoods, and community engagement and social inclusion, which we report on an annual basis.
