Organized by The Company Behind Chocoa in collaboration with Stichting Chocoladefestival, CHOCOA is dedicated to creating a world with more sustainable cocoa – the foundation for better chocolate. We envision a world where cocoa production benefits farmers, their communities, and the environment. A world where high-quality chocolate is accessible to environmentally conscious consumers everywhere.
With this mission, we launched CHOCOA in 2012. Our goal has remained the same: together, we drive progress in sustainability and increase consumer awareness to grow the market for sustainable cocoa and chocolate.
In 2024, The Company Behind Chocoa launched the first Amsterdam Cocoa Week, bringing together over 2,750 professionals from around the world and engaging with over 5,000 consumers, inspiring collective efforts to transform the cocoa sector and shape the future of cocoa and chocolate.
Join us in Amsterdam to contribute to a better cocoa industry together with many other cocoa and chocolate lovers. We love seeing the impact of inspired collaboration in the cocoa sector! www.chocoa.nl
