The National Confederation of Dominican Cacao Producers (CONACADO) is an organization of small-scale cacao producers in the Dominican Republic.

Pedro Santo Gil said “Since we joined CONACADO, it has improved the living conditions for me and my family. Before, when cocoa production drops, we need to survive on loans, we even have to sell our house to pay back the loans. Now we can get low-interest loans without pledge. Also, we grow our cocoa organically, so the quality has improved greatly. In addition, CONACADO helps me to transport the cocoa. Now I can get a fairer return!”
