Curiosity about me

The important moments in your tree's life.

Let's start with introductions

The Cacao tree is an evergreen that produces small, five-petal flowers that are white, green, or rose-hued and sprout directly on the trunk or principal branches. The lucky flowers develop into the celebrated cocoa pods. It is planted for high quality cocoa bean production and to provide local farmers with an additional source of income.

My significance

Sweetness

Even things that seem bitter hide a sweet side.

How much CO2 I’ll absorb

My estimated CO2 absorption capacity is based on the first 10 years of my life*

Current absorption

- 22 kg

2020

0 kg

2030

-55 kg

* The tree will continue to absorb CO2 even after the tenth year. Therefore this is a prudent estimate.

How I am useful to local communities

90%

Economic development

The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.

20%

CO₂ Absorption

During its life cycle, each tree will offset CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.

30%

Environmental protection

The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.
