CHOCOA CONFERENCE
The aim of Chocoa is to stimulate the production and consumption of sustainable cocoa and chocolate. The conference offers a platform to key note speakers in the industry. In collaboration with the Royal Tropical Institute, we invite representatives of conventional and niche markets from producing and consuming countries to share their innovations, experiences and knowledge during lectures and sessions.
Specific characteristics of fine or flavour and single origin cocoa make it easier to meet the strict sustainability criteria. For this reason these beans are very suitable for the growth in volume of sustainable cocoa. How can mainstream cocoa benefit from the experiences of sustainable cocoa and other commodities? It is one of the topics during the conference.
Large manufacturers and distributors of chocolate are committing themselves more and more to the principles of sustainable cocoa. In 2010 the Dutch Government signed a treaty with large companies striving for a complete sustainable cocoa consumption in The Netherlands by 2025. How far are they with achieving those goals? National and international policies on sustainable cocoa will be further discussed.
There will be lectures, debates and parallel sessions about the current problems and opportunities. The demand is growing while the general production of cocoa is declining. What can be done to tackle this? What are the consequences of climate change on cocoa production? Also the opportunities will be examined. For example, could the promotion of gender equality positively influence the production?
The conference aspires to bring about more than a one-off discussion. Last year at Chocoa the Royal Tropical Institute launched the Cocoa Connect website, a digital platform where knowledge about sustainable cocoa and networks is being shared. Since then virtual workgroups have been facilitated who continued the debate online. The results of these discussions will be presented during the conference.
The conference will be in English. For any questions you can reach us at CocoaConnect or please contact conference@chocoa.nl.
