Ivory Coast, the world’s biggest cocoa producer, could not process the cocoa beans into chocolate for long time, but now an organic raw chocolate factory makes the sweet treat even better
Dana Mroueh, owner of the handmade organic raw chocolate factory"Mon Choco", grinds cocoa beans with the help of a bicycle in Abidjan, Ivory Coast on January 10, 2019.
In the middle of the floor of her company Mon Choco’s factory sits a grinding bike, surrounded by trays of carefully sorted cocoa beans. Poured in a funnel, beans are transformed into a paste by a grinder activated through pedalling. “We really want to have a minimal impact on the environment by using as little electricity as possible,” Mroueh said as she supervised a small team of employees in white coats sorting the beans.
But organic cocoa beans are difficult to find in Ivory Coast, where the overwhelming majority of farmers use chemicals and insecticides.
