now that cote d'ivoire is back to business, why don't they start a chocolate industry and at the same time make Abidjan the capital of the world for choclate for tourist by bringing one a year the best chocolat makers in the world, the best chefs...... This need a lot of marketing and help for investers with paper works and infrastructure. I think Cote d'Ivoire is doin good in working with Morocco who's a good exemple of how we can make the most with the little we have, and use culture and industries to drive tourism.

One big problem is the hot weather. Chocolate melts in a few minutes in 30 deg heat.

Refrigeration for export

Science

Melts in your mouth and not in your hand

In Ghana they have a brand called Golden Tree, I heard its been modified for the heat but dont know if its just hearsay. I dont think you will ever see chocolate being made in ghana or ic before export. The cost of refrigerating the product from factory to the ship would be highb for a start. What they should strive for is the 100% processing of cocoa into its constituents before export. I think ghana and ic already process 30% or something.

Another problem is milk, ghana has virtually no milk industry and I think it applies to ic too. Dairy is certainly on my list of future business opps.
