Cocoa powders achieve Indonesian recognition

Cargill has announced that it has achieved the Standard National of Indonesia (SNI), for its Gerkens cocoa powders.

“We are extremely pleased to achieve the SNI, which enables us to export our globally renowned Gerkens cocoa powders to Indonesia,” comments Job Leuning, business development director for Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate.

“Indonesia is an important country in a vital region. As cocoa demand continues to grow we are building up our local market presence in Asia and strengthening our cocoa business on the ground. We have already set up a new R&D application centre in the region and extended our Gerkens sales office in order to help our customers meet this growing demand,” continues Leuning.
