How to address the unequal distribution of value across the cocoa sector

Mohamed Manssouri, Director of FAO Investment Centre, participated at the World Cocoa Conference 2024 held in Brussels, Belgium, from 21 to 24 April, where he shared his views on the development of a superior quality cacao market segment, on how to align the vision across the commodity’s value chain, as well as FAO’s activities in that respect. He also participated in a panel that discussed the numerous initiatives aiming to strengthen related global partnerships.  

This year’s edition of the World Cocoa Conference, which was celebrated under the theme: “Paying more for a Sustainable Cocoa”, focused on the possible measures leading to an equitable distribution of value along the cocoa supply chain, to ensure a better living income for farmers.
