[ FOUNDER’S ADDRESS ]
My Mission: To promote the direct sourcing of high-grade cocoa and derived ingredients for Canadian businesses and consumers, while establishing fair and sustainable remuneration for local farming families in Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, and Madagascar.
A native of Côte d’Ivoire now based in Montreal, Ibrahim Diabaté pairs deep on-the-ground knowledge of African cocoa terroirs with solid expertise in management and supply chain operations gained in Canada and internationally.
A management graduate trained at HEC Montréal, he founded Transformation Cacao Ivoire with a clear vision: to build a direct and sustainable bridge between partner agricultural cooperatives (in Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, and Madagascar) and Canadian chocolatiers.
As a food establishment certified with MAPAQ, our workshop guarantees Canadian pastry chefs, chocolatiers, and food manufacturers virgin cocoa butter, 100% pure cocoa mass, and exceptional-grade beans, with full origin traceability.
