He explained that CPC’s premium Golden Tree chocolate products had gained international recognition, with companies and individuals purchasing them for export to European markets. Touching on the company’s 60th anniversary, he said CPC had enjoyed decades of contributing significantly to Ghana’s cocoa value chain, describing the milestone as a source of pride. “It is exciting for CPC to be 60, and we hope to grow to become the Switzerland of Africa in chocolate production,” he said, recalling that the company started with semi-finished cocoa products before expanding into full-scale processing, manufacturing, and training a new generation of chocolatiers. He expressed appreciation to Ghanaians for their continued support for locally produced chocolate, noting that consumers were increasingly able to distinguish between pure chocolate products such as Golden Tree and confectioneries produced by some foreign companies.
