THE NETHERLANDS—Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate’s plant in Tema, Ghana, celebrated its first year of operation by obtaining recognition from AIB International (AIB). AIB’s audit resulted in a score of 900 points out of a possible 1,000.
“For a plant that has been operating for just a year to become the first cocoa plant in Ghana to obtain AIB recognition really is a remarkable achievement,” said Leo Winters, head of Cargill’s cocoa operations in West Africa. “The score of 900 points out of a possible 1,000 is testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff. It is proof of Cargill’s commitment to produce food to the highest standards.”
The Tema plant has the capacity to transform around 65,000 tons of cocoa beans per year into high-quality cocoa butter and powders for customers around the world. Cargill Ghana produces and exports a range of cocoa powder under the ‘good taste of Ghana’ banner.
