Governor dismayed by Switzerland’s failure to recognize Indonesian cocoa

`The cocoa processed in Switzerland is from Indonesia, but it turns out that the country does not acknowledge it, after a visit to the country by the West Sulawesi government,` Anwar said in Mamuju, Wednesday.Not long ago, the West Sulawesi regional government visited the Calleir Nestle chocolate factory in Interlaken, Switzerland, but there, they found that Indonesia was not included and was not considered as a supplier of cocoa to this factory.`Meanwhile, the factory processes cocoa, the majority of which comes from Indonesia. This is very disappointing,` Anwar said.During the visit to Switzerland, the West Sulawesi regional government saw directly the manufacture of ready-to-eat chocolate and visited a museum about the history of the introduction of cocoa to Europe.`Several countries were displayed in the museum as suppliers of cocoa to the Callier Nestle chocolate factory but the name Indonesia was not included in the museum, even though the majority of this cocoa comes from Indonesia, and West Sulawesi is the largest producer of cocoa in Indonesia,` Anwar said.`It will be reported to President Jokowi that Switzerland only acknowledges Japan and Australia as suppliers of cocoa while Indonesia is not acknowledged,` Anwar emphasized.
