Barry Callebaut organises first Chocovision
Barry Callebaut has announced that it will be holding the first example of a new bi-annual conference for stakehold- ers in the cocoa/chocolate supply chain in June. The event, Chocovision, will take place 5-7 June in Davos, Switzerland. As the company notes, demand for
chocolate has increased steadily over the years. More and more consumers, especially in emerging countries where there is a rising middle class, are dis- covering the sweet side of chocolate. This offers great business opportunities. However, stakeholders in the supply chain are facing a number of chal- lenges. "In addition to changing consumer
needs and behaviour, the industry must cope with economic uncertainties and volatile prices of the respective raw materials and is confronted with increasing regulation," said the compa- ny. "In the cocoa growing countries, unsustainable agricultural practices and challenging conditions in regard to social and political systems and infra- structure are just some of the issues the industry has to face." "To bring together key players togeth-
er Barry Callebaut has organised Chocovision, and has invited the major stakeholders from the cocoa, chocolate and retail industries to attend. "Speeches and panel discussions
with experts and professionals from all stakeholder groups will focus on strate- gy, sustainability and success," said Barry Callebaut. "Apart from three confer- ence sessions, there will also be a high- profile keynote address by musician and political activist Sir Bob Geldof and Nobel Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus. Attendees at Chocovision 2012 will
have the opportunity to network with senior business leaders in the cocoa, chocolate and retail industries, influen- tial politicians from around the world and representatives of prominent NGOs. The symposium will offer a plat- form for debate between business and politics, NGOs and scientists, suppliers, farmers and consumers - all key players in the value chain, from the cocoa bean to the chocolate bar.
