With global markets shifting, Africa’s coffee and cocoa sectors face a pivotal moment. Now is the time for bold action. As we approach the Intra Africa Coffee and Chocolate Trade Week (IACCTW) set for 12-14 September 2024 in Equatorial Guinea, a unique opportunity unfolds for stakeholders across the globe to shape the future for two of Africa’s most treasured commodities, coffee and cocoa.
In the spirit of unity and progress, we extend a heartfelt invitation to the African diaspora and stakeholders within the continent to lend their voices, experiences, and visions towards redefining the pathways for the growth and elevated positioning of coffee and cocoa on the global stage. Your insights are invaluable as we delve into discussions that promise to shape the agricultural, economic, and social fabric of our beloved continent.
The IACCTW is not merely a conference; it is a crucible for innovation, sustainability, and empowerment. As such, we seek contributions from a broad spectrum of perspectives:
