The latest news, trends, analysis, interviews and podcasts from the global food and beverage industry

Hello and welcome to our fifth episode of Crunchtime, an interactive podcast series where you choose the topics and we bring the experts!

In this episode, we dive into Cocoa, with the spotlight on a key topic: 'Sustainable sourcing within the cocoa supply chain'.

Join us as we speak with two cocoa supply chain experts:

🎤 Flora Coffi Sika (pictured left), Africa Sustainability Head at OFI

🎤 Andrew Brookes (pictured bottom right), Head of Cocoa Sustainability at OFI

Earlier this year, I had the privilege of visiting the Ivory Coast, one of the world's largest cocoa-producing regions, to witness the sustainable practices being embraced by cocoa farmers. You can read more about my journey here.

Flora and the OFI team joined us, and during our visit, we saw how communities are tackling challenges such as climate change, economic inequality, gender imbalance and child labour, all while working towards a more transparent supply chain.

I hope you enjoy our conversation.
