Plus de 25 femmes et 10 jeunes se dirigent chaque jour vers le CHOCOLATIER DU TERROIR qui est devenu leur ''lieu de travail''. Voici les propos de la surveillante du décorticage Mme Dakey: "je ne cesse de recevoir en audience des dames qui veulent qu'on les engage ou qu'on engage leur proche aussi. Je suis devenu très populaire". Ici c'est CHOCO TOGO "Le chocolatier du terroir". Nous ne sommes plus le futur. Nous sommes le présent et nous écrivons notre histoire.
It is ambitious to develop a page on chocolate, cocoa beans, pods etc... However, nothing ventured, nothing gained, so I will develop this page and hope to provide food for thought.

A How-To Guide That Shows What You Can Do to Promote Fair Trade for Cacao Farmers.
That’s why cocoa is the current focus of our Fair Trade Campaign. It’s a tasty way to get Fair Trade-savvy. Plus, chocolate companies have a nasty tendency to use child and forced labor in their cocoa farms. Let’s end that, with Fair Trade.

Premium-priced poverty: Organic cocoa shortages loom as farmers reluctant to meet demand.
Premium-priced poverty: Organic cocoa shortages loom as farmers reluctant to meet demand: Demand for organic cocoa is on the rise but market analysts are predicting supply shortages unless more cocoa producers switch to organic farming – but where’s the incentive to do so when this means reduced yields, higher costs and huge debt?

Chocolate Tree Scotland UK in Belgium.
From
the start I liked the wrappers of the Chocolate Tree bars, people buy not only chocolate but
also the packaging sometimes does miracles.
So I contacted the Chocolate Tree Kitchen of Alastair and Friederike (Friederike is also the artist of the tessellations!).
...
Soon Alastair did contacted me back:
...Thank you for getting in touch, yes we would be delighted to
supply you in Belgium! I like your chocolates decorated using transfer sheets of
the makers logos!...(mutual respect is important and nice).
Deciding to settle down in one place, they opened a chocolaterie and café in Edinburgh in 2009 where they sell a full range of organic bars, filled chocolates and baked goods.
But that wasn’t enough form them, and being adventurous types, they decided to start making their own chocolate directly from the bean. They’re one of only a handful of artisans in the UK making chocolate from the bean in the UK, and they’ve had to learn quickly.
Now, less than 2 years since they started making chocolate commercially, The Chocolate Tree is producing some of the best tasting chocolate we’ve tried recently. Beautifully presented in thick, floral wrappers and gold foil, it looks every bit as good as it tastes.
Find below the pictures of the chocolate bars available in Belgium-Kortrijk in my shop.
