Illegal mining is posing a real threat to the cocoa sector as the European Union and Switzerland put forth legislation on cocoa sustainability.
Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire account for over 60 percent of global cocoa beans production.
But illegal mining activities and depletion of forest covers to make room for cocoa production have raised concerns on the international market, and the European Union is considering a complete ban on cocoa beans from non-adherent countries.
