Most cacao is grown on small farms in Africa. These farms often struggle to achieve consistent yields and may have unethical working conditions.
Our goal is to change the way the world grows cacao with large-scale farming using more innovative and sustainable practices. We're modernizing cacao production at our farm located in the semi-arid region of Bahia, Brazil. We are located far from the Amazon, growing cacao where no one thought it was possible before.
With abundant sunlight and the latest technology for fertigation, we're harvesting optimized yields of high-quality cacao. We treat all our employees fairly and support our local community through education and outreach efforts.
As we continue to expand, we're actively seeking investors and partners to grow more sustainable, ethical and profitable cacao.
Our farm is located in the state of Bahia, Brazil, recognized as one of the premier agricultural regions in the world. While our land is in the semi-arid area of Barra, the São Francisco River runs through our farm, providing an abundant water source.
Throughout all our efforts, we are committed to leaving a positive impact. By caring for the environment and supporting our local community, we are planting the seeds for long-term growth.

At Peirot, technology plays a vital role in achieving exceptional cacao yields in our semi-arid environment. We're successfully yielding more per acre than traditional farms, and we will continue to increase our yields.
Precision fertigation ensures each plant has exactly what it needs at each stage in its life cycle. With continuous monitoring, we continually adjust to the weather and environment.
Working closely with local experts and internationally renowned scientists, we are developing new cultivars which are especially well-adapted to thrive on our farm.
We cultivate cacao and coconut in an integrated, intercropped, and sustainable way. We make full use of the coconut, transforming its husks into fertilizer that returns to the soil, completing a circular cycle.
The heart of our venture, our cacao trees produce premium cocoa, nurturing the environment and sweet cravings of people around the world.
Our sustainably grown coconuts yield tropical bliss with their versatile applications, from refreshing coconut water to luscious coconut oil.
