Cote d’Ivoire’s premium chocolate maker Axel Emmanuel Gbaou saw a major problem in the country’s cocoa industry – the farmers live in poverty, their wives were not involved and so farmers’ children weren’t going to school. He set about revolutionising the sector.
Gbaou speaks with passion about his company, Le Chocolatier Ivorien (the Ivorian Chocolate maker), but also about how women – especially the the wives of cocoa farmers who he’s trained – are part of his growing business.
