- The imports of sustainable cocoa into Switzerland rose by 8 percentage points to 58%, an important step to reach the intermediary goal of 80% by 2025. While the share for cocoa beans reached 95% (increase by 18 percentage points), cocoa butter imports continue to present a challenge and demand new solutions.
- More than 70,000 cocoa farmers – 30% of them women - were reached in seven innovative projects in producer countries aimed at improving the living conditions of cocoa farmers.
- Challenges continue on combatting cocoa farmers’ poverty, child labor and deforestation and require joint efforts between actors in consumer and producer countries, which is why the Platform increases the collaboration with partner initiatives in Europe.
