The challenge

Mondelēz International Cocoa Life aims to have 100% of its member farms mapped for deforestation assessments and compliance with its transparency standards.

Farmer data in Ghana is difficult to collect and consolidate due to the sheer number of farmers working across the country, often in remote areas with low network coverage. As a result, Cocoa Life, Mondelēz International’s cocoa sustainability program, had received flawed and hard-to-use data from other suppliers in the past.

The quality of the maps Meridia produced is very good. It’s one of the clearest data sets I have seen, and I have touched upon many organisations in my career.

Our solution

Mondelēz chooses us again because of the assurance of receiving compliant, high-quality data.

Mondelēz International Cocoa Life aims to have 100% of its member farms mapped for deforestation assessments and compliance with its transparency standards.

So far, we have completed three large mapping projects for Mondelēz. In 2019, we mapped all 47,000 farms in just eleven months. In 2022 and 2023, we returned to map all new farm plots under the Cocoa Life program across all twelve unions, making up about 26,000 farm plots. Mondelēz chose us again because we assured them of receiving compliant, high-quality data.
