Global commodities trader Cargill says it is investing more than $113 million to expand its cocoa processing facilities in the Ivory Coast and Ghana, creating 85 direct and hundreds of indirect jobs.<\/p>\n

Cargill, one of the world\u2019s largest agricultural traders, said it is also investing $12.3 million to expand sustainability and supply chain tracing programmes in the West African nations.<\/p>\n

Ivory Coast and Ghana produce some two-thirds of the world\u2019s cocoa, but their industry is blighted by poverty, child labour and deforestation. Decades of industry efforts to source sustainably have done little to change this reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aim to shift a greater share of our global grinding activities to the countries of origin, so we can support the establishment of a broader, local agri-food industry,\u201d Lionel Soulard, managing director Cargill West-Africa, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Going up the value chain by expanding cocoa processing is a major objective for the Ivory Coast and Ghana governments, as selling processed or semi-processed cocoa products is more lucrative than exporting the raw material.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
