Barry Callebaut to increase its cocoa processing capacities by >50% in Ivory Coast

摘要

Barry Callebaut,one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products,plans to increase its cocoa processing operations by more than 50% in Ivory Coast over the next two years to respond to an increase in demand for cocoa liquor as previously fully-integrated food companies increasingly outsource their primary cocoa liquor and chocolate needs.Barry Callebaut is reported to be well positioned to further benefit from this trend and is therefore securing future supplies by expanding its operations in Ivory Coast,the world's largest cocoa growing nation.
