Background
Swiss chocolate – made in Togo
70 per cent of the cocoa processed worldwide comes from West Africa, but the region hardly benefits from this. Only around 10 per cent of the retail price of a conventional bar of chocolate remains in the country of origin. We want to change this by producing chocolate directly in Togo. The aim is for up to 50 per cent of the retail price to remain in the country. To realise our plans, we need 500,000 Swiss francs in start-up capital. But we cannot do it alone.
