Elie Fouché, the Chairman of the Cocoa Association of Asia, recently shared his perspective on the industry's long-term outlook in an interview with Bloomberg's Anuradha Raghu.
Asia’s growing number of chocolate lovers will indulge their sweet tooth even as cocoa prices skyrocket to the highest level since the 1970s. The younger generation in Asia in particular like to indulge. This, along with low per-capita consumption of chocolate compared with countries in Europe, will help the region remain a growth engine even at times of high prices.
