Our Story

Since 2013 Kwanza Cocoa has been dedicated to creating a sustainable supply chain of cocoa through our plantation in Luwazi, Nkhata Bay. With the aim of creating a series of cocoa products that have been grown & crafted in Malawi.

Our value addition journey began in July 2021 to creating a variety of craft chocolates with local inclusions such as the famous Kambuzi Chilli, Coffee, Mangoes, Baobab and many more.

What Makes Us Different

Our Products are Grown & Crafted In Malawi

At Kwanza Cocoa a key element of our business is our support and implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and these being the following:

Gender Equality: Our team consists of 13 people 60% of them being female. We work with female farmers in the Luwazi area and provide them with free cocoa seedlings and training.

Responsible Production and Consumption: Our products come straight from the farm to your household without having a carbon footprint of going overseas to be processed.

Life on Land: We plant 3,000+ cocoa trees annually. Through this we have established an out-growers program engaging farmers across the country who have an interest in agriculture and want to diversify into cocoa. We provide seedling and train farmers in BEST cocoa practices.
