Fairafric Ghana is a bean-to-bar chocolate brand based in Amanase, near the town of Suhum in Ghana, and represents one of the most significant examples of sustainable and locally rooted chocolate production in Africa. Founded with the goal of keeping the value of cocoa within its country of origin, Fairafric produces its chocolate entirely in Ghana - from bean harvest to final packaging. The company offers a wide range of organic chocolates - dark, milk, and fruit varieties - featuring combinations with local ingredients. The cocoa is sourced directly from Ghanaian farmers, ensuring traceability and high quality of every bean. Fairafric also organizes “Farm to Factory” tours, allowing visitors to witness the entire chocolate-making process - from the cocoa tree to the finished bar. The brand’s philosophy is based on transparency, equality, and respect for natural resources. Fairafric has successfully positioned itself as a producer of premium, certified chocolate for the global market.
57 Chocolate is a pioneering bean-to-bar brand from Accra, Ghana, founded in 2016 by sisters Kimberly and Priscilla Addison with the goal of changing the narrative around African cocoa. The name “57” symbolically refers to 1957 - the year Ghana gained independence - reflecting the brand’s vision of economic and cultural empowerment through local production. The company was created to demonstrate that high-quality chocolate can be produced in the very country where cocoa originates, rather than being merely exported as a raw material to Europe. All cocoa is sourced from Ghanaian farms, and the entire production process is carefully controlled - from bean to bar. Their range includes dark, milk, and white chocolates, as well as varieties enriched with local ingredients. Particularly distinctive are the “Adinkra” bars - small chocolate tablets embossed with symbols from the Ashanti culture, each carrying its own meaning and message. Through a blend of contemporary aesthetics and deep respect for origin, Kimberly and Priscilla Addison have positioned 57 Chocolate as a defining voice of the new generation of African chocolatiers.
