Share project
This initiative creates a fully traceable, EUDR compliant supply chain for Belvas organic chocolate.
By using GS1 standards, like QR codes and digital links, we ensure every cacao bean’s journey—from farms in Peru to shelves in the Netherlands—is transparent, sustainable, and verifiable.
