SLIDE FROM 2010 • Cocoa is a unique product • It requires harvesting by hand • Requires multi-stage post-harvest handling • Approx 25000 pods have to be cut open to produce 1 metric ton of beans • We have been spoiled as consumers benefitting from the efforts of desperately poor people who lack alternatives • This pool of African farmers is not enough to meet the needs of world demand going forward
