Cargill to export Gerkens cocoa powders to Indonesia

Cargill has been granted the Standard National of Indonesia (SNI) for its Gerkens cocoa powders produced in the Netherlands, enabling it to export the powders to the country.

Job Leuning, business development director for Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate, said:  “Indonesia is an important country in a vital region.”

“As cocoa demand continues to grow we are building up our local market presence in Asia and strengthening our cocoa business on the ground.”

Cargill has already set up a new R&D application center in Asia and has extended its Gerkens sales office to keep pace with demand.
