Title Choc concerns: why traceability in cocoa is so hard Degree of recognition National Media type Radio Country/Territory Australia Date 9/04/23 Description The vast majority of the world's cocoa beans come from West Africa, but in 2023 traceability is still a real issue - it's difficult for chocolate brands to state, with confidence, exactly which plantation their cocoa comes from and the conditions in which it has been produced.
Professor John Dumay from Macquarie University is part of the team behind the Chocolate Scorecard, which ranks common chocolate brands on their attempts to combat deforestation, child labour and forced labour in cocoa farming.
