The International CoCoa Farmers Organization (ICCFO) is an organization that was formed in the Netherlands in 2014 in response to cocoa bean farmers needing an international platform for discussing issues in the industry. The ICCFO aims to make sure cocoa is sourced using sustainable methods and to improve the conditions of cocoa farmers and farm workers.[1] The ICCFO consists of regional organisations in different countries representing around 600,000 cocoa workers in total. The governing board of the ICCFO consists of 13 members, each representing a cocoa-producing country. The members and structure of the board were announced in a meeting held in The Hague in February 2015.[2]
