About

The African continent is the world's fastest growing region with a population of 1.4 billion that is expected to nearly double by 2050. This phenomenal population growth presents a golden opportunity for cocoa, coffee and tea producers to expand their domestic markerts. Traditionally, African countries have exported raw cocoa,coffee and tea to European ,Asian and American markets where they are processed into finished products for sale globally. This practice has denied Africa the chance to grow capacity in the value addition of the three major cashcrops.

African governments are determined to change this narrative by encouraging value addition and promoting entreprenuership around cocoa,coffee and tea industry to increase employment as well as fetch higher revenues by exporting processed and finished products to the global market.
