Cargill extends cocoa programme
Cargill has officially extended its sustainable cocoa programme to South Sulawesi province, Indonesia.
It’s an important step in developing sustainable cocoa production and increasing the yields of farmers in Indonesia, says the firm.
“This launch in Indonesia builds on the ongoing success of Cargill’s activities to develop sustainable cocoa supply chains in Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Ghana, Brazil and Vietnam,” adds a spokesman. “It strengthens Cargill’s intention to scale up its efforts and develop its cocoa operations in Indonesia to help meet the increasing demand for cocoa across Asia.”
