Michel Arrion, Executive Director of the International Cocoa Organization
Michel Arrion, Executive Director of the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO), said an increase in international prices of cocoa beans and their related products will ensure the sustainability of the industry.
He said it was, therefore, necessary that stakeholders put together their energies to ensure a proper demand and supply chain of cocoa goods across the globe.
“Prices and sustainability are two sides of the same coin. Let us focus on a bigger cake rather than a bigger share of the cake,” he said.
Mr Arrion made the remarks on Thursday during a virtual meeting dubbed: “Sustainable Cocoa Dialogue – Ghana.”
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) will soon provide support including the topping up of salaries of returning and diaspora experts to enable them to support the growth of their native countries with skills and knowledge.
The experts would either gain financial support including start-up capital, equipment support, technical advice and placement or networking support to establish either their businesses or support the progress of another organization.
The returning experts are migrants who travelled to enhance their knowledge and skills in Germany in varied fields and returned to their home countries to utilize the skills for the good of their countries.
