Mondelez to invest in cocoa research and cultivation in few states SECTIONS Share Synopsis At present, the maker of Cadbury and Oreo, gets about 30% of its raw materials from India while the rest is imported, mainly from Africa. The snacking company invests about Rs 2 crore annually on cocoa research in the country as it is not a native crop and also promotes cocoa farming through its Cocoa Life program (earlier known as Cadbury Cocoa partnership) in the four southern states of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Agencies Mondelez is planning to add 5000 hectares of new cocoa cultivation area in the four states.
