🌍🍫 Investing in the future of cocoa.

The global cocoa industry thrives when the right people connect, collaborate and invest in meaningful change.

Our partner, the Africa Cocoa Finance & Investment Forum (ACFIF), brings together global investors, cocoa industry leaders, policymakers and value chain stakeholders to explore the future of cocoa financing, trade, sustainability and investment across Africa.

✨ Beyond high-level discussions, delegates will have the opportunity to visit the Port of Philadelphia, gaining practical insights into U.S. cocoa imports, warehousing, distribution and supply chain operations.

🇳🇱 And the journey continues in Amsterdam 22-28 February 2027! ACFIF will also be coming to Amsterdam, bringing further opportunities to connect, exchange insights and strengthen collaboration across the global cocoa value chain.

At Chocoa and Amsterdam Cocoa Week, we believe that building a more sustainable and resilient cocoa sector requires collaboration across borders and throughout the entire value chain.

🤝 Connect. Invest. Transform.
