In this webinar Caroline Paul, Manager Africa at DP Survey Africa, discusses risks and tricks associated with loading cocoa beans in containers. With approximately 70% of the world's cocoa beans coming from West African countries, various challenges need to be considered when shipping this sensitive commodity around the world:
- natural properties of cocoa beans
- methods to analyse and measure moisture content and other relevant parameters
- correct packaging and storage
- selection of suitable containers
- transit follow up
Caroline’s presentation considers the complete journey of cocoa beans, thereby addressing many pitfalls that should be avoided to prevent losses from occurring.
