Private Sector & Development author

Guy Deberdt took over the company (alongside his sister, Maria Deberdt) in 2012 from André Deberdt, the founder of Kaoka and a pioneering player committed to the development of organic and fair trade agricultural production.

Kaoka

Since it was set up in 1993 by André Deberdt, a pioneer in organic farming in France, Kaoka has  exclusively marketed organic and fair trade products. The company’s economic model is based on developing sectors and establishing close partnerships with cocoa producers, meaning it can observe on-site with the producers the effects of climate change and the deterioration of their environment.
