Made in Africa Chocolate
One Continent, Two Countries, Countless Work
The MIA movement is an opportunity that was born completely out of chance. Years after a happily random encounter between a chocolate enthusiast and a foodie, they began to work on a concept for a food brand that would transcend mere taste. In doing so, they began an ongoing series of collaborations with an African development entrepreneur, a unique brand designer and a group of people who are passionate about social impact. These collaborations have resulted in MIA. In aiming to create for both our own future and for Africa’s as a whole, the Sankofa bird has inspired us to look back and learn from the past. Between those lessons and their vision, they’ve made MIA what it is.
In 2022, MIA launched their “Ghana Gold” line which sources cocoa via direct trade from Ghana. This expands their collection of Madagascan chocolate to both Madagascar & Ghana origins – only possible thanks to the communities living in these African Nations.
In 2023, the following chocolates won Great Taste Awards: 75% Dark, Candied Orange, 100% Dark, Baobab & Salted Nibs and the 65% Baking Drops.

Ghana Gold 73% Dark Chocolate Bar
Bittersweet & Elegant
In 2022, MIA celebrated the development of a new brand called Ghana Gold, making MIA the world’s only company to produce finished chocolate in two African countries: Ghana and Madagascar. Expansion to Ghana allowed MIA to support nine new suppliers in Africa, most notably a chocolate making team and a Fairtrade organic cocoa cooperative 1,000 members strong. In line with their commitment to support communities beyond the supply chain, the 1 for Change fund implemented perennial education and reforestation activities and supported two onetime projects in Ghana: a Zero Hunger course for school children in Medie and a business support project for the ABOCFA cocoa cooperative. The work in Africa promoted eight of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, demonstrating that a for-profit business can also be a vehicle for positive change on the world’s poorest continent.
