Tech Advances Are Paving A Sustainable Path In Cocoa Production
Over the past few years, the cocoa sector has drawn unwanted attention due to reports of farmer poverty, child labor, and high levels of deforestation, and as global cocoa consumption is expected to grow, particularly in emerging markets like India, China, and Brazil, production areas are likely to expand, exacerbating worries. There have been increasing calls to improve the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of value chains, so cocoa stakeholders have developed multiple initiatives to foster social equity and economic vitality. Technology is becoming the driving force behind sustainability in cocoa, which is a strategic imperative, making its way higher on executives' list of priorities.
