February 3, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

Andy McCormick, VP of Public Affairs The Hershey Company speaks to Good News about very important Good News. While 70% of the world’s cocoa supply comes from West Africa, most of it is grown on small family farms and still grown the way it was generations ago.

Statistics show that increasing a farmer’s ability to produce more cocoa is directly linked to increased school attendance in cocoa communities. Today, The Hershey Company announced that it will expand and accelerate programs to improve cocoa communities by investing $10 million in West Africa.
