Dear delegates,

Considering the global health emergency following the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the CAA International Cocoa Conference planned for the 4th – 5th November, in Singapore, will be rescheduled to take place 2nd half of 2022.

This is largely due to the need for social distancing to help prevent the spread and with travel still being restricted by many governments for the foreseeable  months ahead. We know this is disappointing but believe you will understand this is a necessary step to help keep each other safe in these unprecedented times.

We’ll update you with the new date and location as soon as they’re confirmed. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch: [email protected]conference.asia /  [email protected] .

In April, CAA announced the 1st Quarter 2021 grind as 213,858 metric tons, a positive increase of 3.14% compared to the corresponding period last year (1st Quarter 2020). This represents a new Q1 grind record for Asia and underscores the importance of the Asian grind to the global cocoa & chocolate supply chain. To achieve this amid a pandemic is even more amazing and hopefully will be a sign of greater things to come for the burgeoning Asian cocoa & chocolate story.

We wish to thank all of you for the continued support and appreciate your patience and understanding with our event postponement. Fill in your details here and we will keep you posted with event updates.
