HIGH PRICE TRANSFER
At Luker, we are committed to ensuring that at least 90% of the weighted average market price of cocoa — using the New York Stock Exchange as reference — is paid directly to our suppliers. This work is led by a team in the field, which, together with farmer associations, regional buyers and our warehouses, verifies and documents each purchase, confirming that the association in turn pays the farmer 90% of the price received.
TRACEABILITY
Traceability is a core part of Luker Chocolate’s sustainability approach, ensuring transparency and accountability across the cacao value chain.
We currently trace 100% of the cacao sourced through associations and regional buyers, and we are advancing in our efforts to extend traceability down to the individual farmer level. Through the Luker Trace system, supported by Trusty | Agrifood Supply Chain Management, approximately 28.3% of our total cacao purchases are already traceable to individual farmers, with verified data on farming practices and price transfers.
“At Luker, we don’t just aim to positively impact cocoa farmers; we involve their families and wider communities too. We are utterly convinced that the transformation towards sustainable well-being is done by involving communities in their own development, through education, entrepreneurship and environmental awareness.”
