The World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) on Monday opened a series of high-level discussions in Guayaquil, Ecuador, to focus on two major issues for the global chocolate and cocoa sector: cocoa flavor and quality.
Cocoa producers, researchers, industry executives, government officials, and civil society organizations, gather to participate in these talks. The discussions will explore how chocolate manufacturing is influenced by cocoa quality standards, direct sourcing and the mapping of cocoa flavor characteristics.
