Sustainable and origin Colombian chocolate
26 Feb 2019 | Luker Chocolate
Last summer, the Colombia government – along with its largest cocoa company, Casa Luker, and the members of the National Cocoa Federation – committed to eliminate deforestation from the country's cocoa supply chain by 2020. The commitment will be supported by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH). The Colombian cocoa sector is growing rapidly. The crop has been identified as a priority for Colombian agricultural growth, both for domestic consumption and international export. The bulk of Colombia's cocoa production has the characteristics of Fino de Aroma cocoa, a classification much-prized in the international market. Sergio Restrepo of Luker Chocolate discusses some of the key strategies being employed at the company in terms of sustainability and the challenges involved.
