International Symposium on Cocoa Research | Montpellier | 2022

The cocoa research community came together for the International Symposium on Cocoa Research, held December 5-7 in Montpellier. The symposium, attended by around 500 representatives of the global research community, practitioners and sector representatives, provided the latest insights on key challenges and issues facing the cocoa sector, and in particular on improving the livelihoods of cocoa farmers.

With more than 15 sessions on topics such as "Living Income," "Social-Ecological Interactions," and "Genetics," the symposium succeeded in providing a holistic overview of the challenges facing the cocoa sector and solutions to address them and take action. The full programme can be found here.

Our SWISSCO booth provided information on the latest findings of Swiss research institutions, while members of our sector presented posters on their latest findings and ZHAW showcased a live cocoa bean fermentation. All in all, this led to lively discussions on possible collaborations and individual experiences. Further, we were particularly pleased that our Book of Abstracts, prepared especially for the occasion, was well received.

We thank our Swiss research institutions for their participation and willingness to be involved in the SWISSCO booth and look forward to incorporating the new findings into our daily work.
