Last weekend, our colleague Helena Everaert had the pleasure of representing Chocoa at Eurobean 2025, held at the fascinating Industry Museum in Chemnitz, Germany. The event was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with passionate chocolate makers from around the globe, explore new ideas, and get inspired by the rich cultural and sensory experiences that Eurobean has to offer. 🍫🌍 These valuable exchanges continue to shape and energize our vision for the upcoming Amsterdam Cocoa Week, where we’ll be bringing together the global cocoa and chocolate community once again. Thank you, Eurobean for the warm welcome and for hosting such a vibrant and meaningful event! And See you soon in Chocoa 2026 https://www.chocoa.nl 👈 #Chocoa #Eurobean2025 #AmsterdamCocoaWeek #CocoaCommunity #CraftChocolate #Sustainability #ChocolateCulture

Thank you International Trade Centre for your contributions to Chocoa and the Amsterdam Cocoa Week. We look forward welcoming you back in Amsterdam in 2026.
At this year’s Chocoa trade fair in Amsterdam, we brought together cocoa producers, processors, and chocolate makers from the Caribbean, Africa, and the Pacific who are leading the way in value addition, product diversification, and origin-led branding—reshaping their role in the global chocolate industry. In a sector where origin has long meant anonymity, their stories challenge that legacy – and prove that the next chapter of the chocolate industry may well be written where the cocoa grows. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3Ep9fHc

🌍 Cocoa: From Bean to Sustainable Business Model 🍫 During Amsterdam Cocoa Week at Chocoa, Netherlands Enterprise Agency and Beyond Beans Foundation hosted an inspiring session on how innovative cocoa processing can contribute to fair trade and local economic growth. ✨ An Event Full of Impact Makers This session brought together visionary companies and organizations that are actively working towards a more sustainable and equitable cocoa supply chain. One standout example: CADESA cooperative, in collaboration with Dutch partners, is building a local cocoa processing facility to create more value at the origin. Exciting innovations like these are shaping the future of cocoa! 🌱 🍫 Check post below for more details on the session 👇🏻 #AmsterdamCocoaWeek #Chocoa2025 #SustainableCocoa #FairTrade #CocoaInnovation
🌍 Cacao: van boon tot duurzaam businessmodel 🍫 Tijdens de Chocoa Amsterdam Cocoa Week organiseerde RVO samen met Beyond Beans Foundation een inspirerende sessie over hoe innovatieve cacaoverwerking kan bijdragen aan eerlijke handel en lokale groei. In Ivoorkust kijken boeren nu verder dan alleen de cacaoboon. Elk deel van de vrucht wordt benut: het vruchtvlees wordt verwerkt tot cacaosap, zoetstoffen, pigmenten en de schil tot biochar. Dit betekent minder verspilling en extra inkomsten. ✨ Een inspirerend evenement vol impactmakers Dit evenement bracht inspirerende bedrijven en organisaties samen, die elk op hun eigen manier bijdragen aan een duurzamere en eerlijkere cacaoketen. CADESA-coöperatie bouwt samen met Nederlandse partners aan een lokaal cacaoverwerkingsbedrijf, waarmee er meer waarde wordt gecreëerd in het land van oorsprong. Kumasi Drinks, Beyond Beans Foundation en Spaak Circular Solutions B.V. zetten zich samen met Ivoriaanse en Nederlandse partners in voor een zero-waste aanpak, waarbij boeren profiteren van de volledige waarde van hun oogst. Ook initiatieven zoals Farming the Future in Ghana dragen bij aan duurzame transities. Met agroforestry, intercropping en biochar worden boeren ondersteund in het verbeteren van hun inkomsten en het versterken van de lokale cacaoketen. Dit zijn slechts enkele voorbeelden van de vele initiatieven die tijdens Chocoa werden gedeeld. Hun innovatieve benaderingen laten zien hoe samenwerking en duurzaamheid hand in hand gaan met zakelijk succes. 🤝 Samenwerking als motor voor verandering Deze initiatieven laten zien hoe Nederlandse ondernemers impact kunnen maken in opkomende markten. Door innovatie en duurzaamheid te combineren, ontstaan er nieuwe marktkansen en eerlijke handelsmodellen. 🔗 Meer weten over internationaal ondernemen en de Combiaanpak? https://lnkd.in/eMRJuwU7 Abdrahamane BAKAYOKO, Lars Gierveld, Remi van Balen, Geert Magona van der Meer, Kwame Sekyere, Mart de Bruijn, Seleen Suidman, Els Lindeboom, Elena Bindels, Wendeline van der Feltz, Mary Phasansuth, Abel Neering, Veerle Lambert #DuurzaamOndernemen #InternationaalOndernemen #Cacao #Innovatie #Chocoa #Impact #Combitracks
