Growing consumer interest, the sustainability programmes of major chocolate companies and governments’ procurement policies in Europe have all added to the demand for certified cocoa.

Fairtrade and organic are growing on the specialty markets, and offer interesting opportunities for exporters, especially if your cocoa is certified by both standards.

Consumers are increasingly demanding premium chocolate. This makes the speciality cocoa market the fastest growing segment in Europe.
