    About Us

KOA Germany GmbH is part of a Swiss-Ghanaian Scale-Up in its growth phase, disrupting the cocoa value chain in West Africa. We are the first and so-far only company in the world processing the fresh cocoa fruit in cooperation with smallholders in rural Ghana. Through our activities, the farmers increase their income significantly and upcycle an additional 40% of the cocoa pulp.

Because caring is cool, and making the world a better place is even cooler.
