Its customers include food manufacturers and professional users that require cocoa ingredients, chocolate, fillings, coatings and related solutions. This position links agricultural sourcing, processing, product development and customer-facing technical expertise across an international value chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pb-lead\"\u003eCertification partnerships associated with responsible cocoa sourcing and the company’s visibility for new formulations at industry events make portfolio choices, supplier relationships and differentiated customer value particularly relevant questions.
