TRANSFORMING THE CACAO INDUSTRY

with sustainable, cell-based cacao

The Global Cacao Crisis

Climate Change

Cacao, the “food of the gods,” is facing the risk of extinction as global temperatures rise.
Extreme weather, droughts, and disease are decreasing yields and threatening future supply.

Deforestation & Exploitation

Over 80% of the Ivory Coast’s rainforests forests have been destroyed for cacao farming. More than 1.6 million children work on cacao farms.

Unstable Supply

Volatile weather patterns and farming practices lead to inconsistent yields and a fragile global market.

Inconsistent Quality

Diverse farming and handling practices, along with traces of heavy metals & pesticides, affect bean quality and safety.

Complex Supply Chains

Cacao travels long distances from equatorial farms to factories, driving up costs, delays, and emissions.

Kokomodo is an agfoodtech company and Pluri’s cell-based cacao subsidiary, cultivating real, climate-resilient cacao without the need for land-intensive farming. Using proprietary cellular agriculture technology, Kokomodo produces consistent, high-quality cacao in a controlled environment—available globally, year-round.

This innovative solution bypasses the environmental harm and human exploitation of traditional cacao farming. Together, we are building a resilient, ethical, and sustainable cacao future.

Pluri’s Scalable Technology

Kokomodo intends to use Pluri’s patented 3D cell expansion platform and two decades of biotech expertise to scale production from lab to market. Pluri’s scalable platform will enable Kokomodo to meet global cacao demand—without relying on farmland or weather.

Kokomodo’s Method

Selection: Isolation of cells from premium cacao strains using advanced biotech.
Cultivation: Cells are grown in optimized conditions using cellular agriculture techniques.
Production: Upscaling of biomass in bioreactors to ensure high-yield, stable cacao cell production.
Processing: The final product is processed for multiple applications—from gourmet chocolate to functional wellness products.

Solving Industry Pain Points

Local Production, Low Emissions: Decentralized bioreactor facilities cut carbon emissions and simplify supply chains.
Guaranteed Quality: Controlled environments eliminate contamination risks and deliver safe, consistent cacao.
Climate-Proof Production: Our closed system ensures year-round yields and protection against climate shocks.
