Consulting & Training

INSIGHT, QUALITY, MARKET ACCESS
What would a project with us look like?
Our expertise includes supporting market entry into Europe, conducting cocoa value chain analyses, improving cacao quality, and delivering market intelligence. We work with producers, exporters, companies, NGOs and governments to identify opportunities, strengthen competitiveness, meet market requirements and create greater value throughout the cocoa supply chain.
FOR GOVERMENTS
We support governments and development agencies in strengthening cocoa sectors and creating sustainable economic opportunities in producing regions. Drawing on our experience across origin and destination markets, we provide expertise in value chain analysis, quality improvement, market access, value addition and export strategies.
FOR NGOS AND COOPERATIVES
We support cooperatives, farmer organisations, and NGOs in strengthening their technical, commercial, and organisational capacities. Through tailored training, coaching, and hands-on support, we help improve cocoa quality, market readiness, business skills, and access to new opportunities. When needed, we also provide guidance on logistics, export processes, and connecting producers with international markets.
FOR CACAO TRADERS
As regulations evolve and sustainability expectations increase, traders need reliable partners who understand both origin and destination markets. Gaia supports companies with market intelligence, traceability, sustainability initiatives, regulatory compliance, and on-the-ground implementation in cocoa-producing countries. We help bridge the gap between sourcing strategies and practical action at origin.
FOR EXPORTERS
Entering new markets requires more than finding buyers. We help exporters understand market dynamics, identify opportunities, assess competitors, and develop effective market-entry strategies. Through market studies, buyer mapping, and industry insights, we support companies in positioning their products, meeting market requirements, and building long-term commercial relationships.
