The Cocoa Robbery: Why Africa Must Industrialize NOW! Value Addition: Africa's Lost Billions

Benrolins Awandem Episode 44

Did you know Africa produces over 70% of the world's cocoa? Yet, shockingly, African nations only capture less than 5% of the global chocolate revenue. This stark reality highlights a critical issue: the lack of value addition on our raw materials. 

In this video, I delve into the economic imbalance faced by cocoa-producing countries, particularly in Africa. We're rich in resources, but poor in reaping the benefits. It's time for a change!

I'm calling on African leaders to prioritize industrialization and attract chocolate manufacturers to our continent. Imagine the potential: jobs, economic growth, and a fair share of the profits. We need to move beyond exporting raw cocoa beans and start producing finished chocolate products right here at home.
