Kakao Exchange SIGGMA is a community-driven digital marketplace that directly connects cacao farmers, cooperatives, aggregators, chocolate makers, and confectionery companies through an integrated supply and sourcing model. Our platform partners with farmers and cooperatives not only as sellers but as production partners, providing essential agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, seeds, and tools to strengthen their capacity from the ground up.

By supplying inputs upfront and securing a steady flow of supply across all bean grades (A, B, and C, including imperfect beans), Kakao Exchange SIGGMA reduces post-harvest loss and creates value at every quality tier. The platform empowers buyers, MSMEs, businesses, and manufacturers, to customize orders, lock in prices for future delivery dates, and plan production with confidence. This forward contracting model stabilizes income for farmers while giving buyers pricing predictability and supply assurance.

Cutting unnecessary intermediaries and enabling transparent sourcing, Kakao Exchange strengthens local trade relationships and advances the Philippine cacao value chain. In partnership with a sustainable logistics companies for bean distribution, delivery costs and environmental impact are reduced while maintaining product quality from farm to factory.

Designed to work with both technology and the social networks already trusted by communities, the platform builds market resilience, professionalizes farmer transactions, and expands income pathways, from selling raw beans to value-added by-products like nibs, tablea, and pod husks. Through traceability tools, digital payments, input financing, and trust-based market links, Kakao Exchange SIGGMA ensures that value flows back to the origin—fueling sustainable livelihoods, inclusive growth, and future-ready cacao production.
