I have lived and worked for the last 45 years in Papua New Guinea (10) and West Africa (35 - Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, and smaller cocoa producers such as Togo, Benin, Sierra Leone.)
Having lived and worked in Central America for seven years together with cooperatives I now work as head of cocoa for Pronatec Switzerland. We source organic and Fairtrade cocoa from Latin America.
