The Problem

For millions of smallholder cacao and coffee farmers, global supply chains simply don’t pay enough to support a stable livelihood. Even though their work fuels a multibillion-dollar industry, most farmers still earn far below a living income.

We Believe
There's a Better Way

No solution is perfect, but direct trade brings us closer. It allows us to work transparently with farming partners, pay beyond commodity pricing, and invest in long-term relationships that prioritize resilience, dignity, and shared success.

Our Roots

How it Began

Our founders, Ishan and Jeff, founded Moka while living and working in Cameroon alongside farming communities. What began as a small, hands-on farming project grew into a local movement focused on community development—now carried forward through GROW Cameroon—and eventually into Moka Origins in the U.S. as a way to support and scale that work through chocolate and coffee.
