Prepared by the Cocoa Association of Asia (CAA), Sustainability Committee
The Region Asia Pacific is increasingly craving for cocoa and chocolate products. However, there is not enough Asian cocoa beans to cater for such demand, making the Asian cocoa industry dependent on beans imported from West Africa and Latin America. The Cocoa Industry needs more Asian Cocoa. The CAA has created a platform for uncommon collaboration between industry players and NGOs focusing on three priorities: Increase cocoa productivity and farmer income, share Good Agricultural Practices, and attract young farmers to grow cocoa.
