Wow... If there's a bolder statement of conviction, I haven't seen it... The potential in Africa is immense. Nigeria's current initiative is heared towards agriculture and how it can leverage technology... This hits @Cardano core ethos...
IDGAF about past, present or future drama around Africa. What matters is this: we have a real opportunity to make a difference for Nigerian cocoa farmers & WE’RE DOING IT Our Catalyst proposal + Palmyra actions aren’t about optics. They’re about real-world impact Nigeria is where impact is possible right now. That’s what we’re focused on. Full stop

One farm. One conversation. One community at a time. The Palmyra team is on the ground, building trust and turning purpose into progress as we work to map nearly 2,000 cocoa farms in Nigeria and help create a transparent, sustainable future. This is Palmyra in action. #chainforgood

Chocolate feels simple. The journey behind it isn’t. Before chocolate reaches your hands, a single cocoa bean crosses farms, fermentations, borders, warehouses, and factories. Our new article breaks down the real journey.

Behind every farm, there is a producer. Palmyra is the bridge between the field and the world. A long road of learning, work, logistics, technology, and partnership brought us here. Real producers. Real stories.

The work never stops...
The World Deserves Nigerian Cocoa, Part 7 Mapping has begun. Alongside farmers, we’re training mapping agents and walking cocoa plots, often multiple farms per grower, testing GPS, hardware, and checkpoints. It’s dense jungle work, but essential for EUDR readiness.

I loved being part of this journey. The work continues to continue😂🫡. The deadlines are coming fast & hard. The work we do here is invaluable to getting this supply chain compliant & globally ready.
Our documentary Onboarding 1,500+ farmers in Nigeria is now live on YouTube. Watch it. Leave a comment. Share it with a friend. What happens on the ground is the core of Palmyra. Nigerian Cocoa deserves a global market.⤵️

Onboarding farmers with traceability unlocks multiple pathways of opportunity. Opportunity to open up to global markets all around the world. Nigerian cocoa farmers deserve global market access. Palmyra provides that compliance.
We Onboarded 1,500+ Cocoa Farmers in Nigeria, Connecting their Farms to the Global Market. We walked the farms, mapped the land, and listened to the farmers who grow the world’s cocoa. Watch the full documentary below.

The World Deserves Nigerian Cocoa, Part 3 We spoke about new EUDR rules requiring proof that cocoa is deforestation-free. Farmers shared their concerns about past promises that led nowhere. Our work is about long-term partnership, honesty, and shared responsibility.

Cocoa production is not just a cornerstone of economies like Nigeria's; it is also deeply intertwined with social and ethical issues that cast a shadow over the industry. xitter.cf/palmeconomy/status/193…

one of its most significant challenges is not technical. It’s economical. The assets that have traditionally underpinned civilization’s financial systems, such as gold, silver, and lithium, remain almost entirely off-chain. xitter.cf/palmeconomy/status/195…

These are big decisions, and we’re building trust together. The Palmyra team does not rush anyone. Our approach is to encourage farmers to take their time, ask questions, and talk with their fellow farmers. “You won’t miss out. When you’re ready, you can come back and decide with full information.” - Scott Poynton

Palmyra brings information to farmers, and access to information changes everything. When farmers know their land, they can plan better, grow better, and negotiate from strength. In Akone, Boki, this cocoa farmer gained clarity by verifying his farm at 4.7 hectares.

Palmyra changes business on the ground. See the impact through a farmer’s eyes. This farmer manages two cocoa farms, works with local teams, and follows strict standards. Palmyra makes his work sustainable, cuts transport, and enables local cocoa sales in Boki, Cross River, Nigeria.

For this licensed buying agent, clarity means fewer risks and better outcomes for everyone involved. Palmyra helps explain the EU Deforestation Regulation, helping LBAs toward deforestation-free cocoa and better value for their work.

From our very 1st Farmer Onboarded to the very 1st Farm Mapped. Its been a December to remember over @ZengateGlobal. @Samb0__ @CardanoChefPool & Scott Poynton. I didn't have this experience on the cards for the end year...
How Palmyra is making Cocoa traceable for 1500+ Farmers This thread breaks down the full onboarding system powering Boki, Cross River Nigeria’s EUDR-compliant cocoa rollout. From first registration to mapping, LBA purchases, and empowerment inputs, here’s how Boki is building a transparent, verified supply chain from the ground up.

This Is The Way🌴🌴🌴
Our mission and impact is clear: "Farmers need access to the market. We’ve always been a compliance-first solution. Here in Nigeria, getting a small part of the value chain online is the first step.” - Henry Oko, Head of Country Operations, Nigeria

Sundays in Boki are for chilling. Farmers & CoOps take a day off with the family & their Faith. Me & @Samb0__ must have missed the memo because over at @ZengateGlobal the work never stops. THIS IS THE WAY 🌴🌴
