European Cocoa Forum - Dubrovnik 2016

15/09/2016

The European Cocoa Association held its sixth European Cocoa Forum on 15 and 16 September 2016 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.  This year's edition, which welcomed approximately 230 participants from both the private and public sectors, covered a variety of compelling topics for the cocoa sector and beyond:

*The prospects for cocoa and chocolate in Central and Eastern Europe

*Climate change impact - what should we expect? How can the cocoa sector mitigate consequences? What innovative approaches exist?

*Cocoa tasting and testing session

*Cocoa research: How can we better match scientific research and industry expectations?

*Regulatory concerns for the cocoa sector and potential impact on business operators

*Innovation in B2B and B2C markets

The ECA team would like to express its most sincere and heartfelt thanks to all the guests who joined in Dubrovnik, including representatives from the cocoa producing countries, the United Nations Agencies, the European institutions, the research community, NGOs, students, and of course all our colleagues from the Cocoa and chocolate industry in Europe and beyond.  Your satisfaction is the best reward for our work!

We hope to see all of you again at the next edition of the European Cocoa Forum in 2019!
