Marks & Spencer (M&S) has announced a partnership with Yeyasso to support cocoa farmers in Côte d'Ivoire. The initiative will provide additional payments to farmers as part of Fairtrade Premium support and includes a community scheme focused on building schools and funding solar water pump installations.

M&S will invest financially over two years to improve the livelihoods of farmers and their communities. The partnership will be promoted in the UK through M&S Choc Marks bars, featuring female farmer Diomandé Léontine on the packaging to highlight the producers.
