Ivory Coast cocoa producers visit Yorkshire
In January Fairtrade Yorkshire Coordinator, Mark Dawson, met with Fairtrade cocoa producers, Koaume Fasseri & Fulgence N’Guessan from the Ivory Coast. Koaume & Fulgence were visiting the UK representing the Kavokiva cooperative, which supplies the cocoa for the four fingered Kit Kats produced by Nestle in York.
At an event at York’s Manor School they spoke with pupils who are taking part in the Archbishop of York’s Young Leaders Award. This was followed by a Dragons’ Den exercise with Mark, Harriet Lamb (CEO of the Fairtrade Foundation) & Wouter from Nestle as the fearsome dragons.
