INTRODUCING CACAO GOLD
The project integrates Solana blockchain technology to empower ecofarming as an RWA while conserving cacao ecology. It proposes an innovative model where blockchain infrastructure supports sustainable agriculture, socio-economic development, and environmental conservation.
Through tokenized cacao assets, stakeholders can invest directly in sustainability and indigenous rights, promoting financial inclusion, ecological preservation, and regenerative agriculture practices.
Solana’s technology facilitates DePIN transactions with its low fees and high TPS which is necessary for Cacao Gold users to operate seamlessly.
WHY CHOOSE US?
ECOLOGICAL DEPRAVATION
A combination of low rainfall, plant disease and aging trees led to a disappointing crop in Ivory Coast and Ghana in 2023 which supplies two-thirds of the global cacao supply. This resulted in massive hectares of cacao plantation destroyed.
Global Supply Crises
Global demand for chocolate and cocoa-based products continues to grow, driven by increasing consumption in both established and emerging markets. As the primary ingredient in chocolate, cacao is crucial to a multi-billion dollar industry.
Threatened Local Species
An indigenous cacao specie, Criollo, which accounts for less than 1% of global production, is currently under threat of being totally eradicated due to climate change and low turnout of farmers.
Why Cacao?
Cacao farming supports millions of livelihoods across the globe, but it’s often marred by unsustainable practices and inequities.
Eliminate middlemen, giving more profits to farmers.
Encourage environmentally sustainable practices through smart contracts that incentivize green farming methods.
Drive socio-economic progress by connecting cacao farmers to global markets and investment opportunities.
Why Tokenized Cacao Gold?
Limited Government Support
Cacao cultivation can lead to deforestation and other environmental issues if not managed sustainably. Governments may be cautious about expanding support without clear strategies for sustainable farming practices.
Monopoly of Cacao Cartel
The global cacao market is heavily influenced by a few large multinational companies and producers. These companies have significant influence over cacao prices, trade policies, and the supply chain, limiting democratic participation by the mass market.
No Access to Direct Trade
The lack of direct access to the cacao trade, especially for small-scale producers and independent buyers, is primarily due to several structural and logistical factors in the global cocoa supply chain including a complex supply chain and market dominance by large companies.
Lack of Sustainable Environmental Solution
Many cacao farmers lack access to the necessary resources, knowledge, and training to implement sustainable farming practices. Sustainable agriculture often requires technical knowledge, access to better seedlings, organic fertilizers, proper farm and pest management techniques.
