Cargill completes $100M expansion of Côte d’Ivoire cocoa processing facilities
Additional processing capacity will supply dark brown cocoa powders.
Cargill has completed a $100 million expansion of its cocoa processing facilities in Yopougon, Côte d’Ivoire, a move that increases the company’s cocoa-grinding capacity.
Cargill’s activities in Côte d’Ivoire span more than two decades, including the opening of the Yopougon plant in 2000. The newly upgraded facility produces cocoa powder, cocoa butter, liquid cocoa liquor and solid cocoa liquor, high-quality ingredients that are exported around the world. With this investment, the Yopougon facility is now the single largest cocoa-grinding plant in Africa.
