Australia enters the field


A group of scientists and food experts are working hard to carve a niche in the ever growing chocolate industry. Horizon Science, a subsidiary of Cocoa Australia, has a trial plantation of 1,200 4-year old cacao trees in Mossman, Australia. Mossman is approximately a 31 hour drive from Sydney and 34 hour from Melbourne

Since Australia has the perfect climate to grow and harvest cacao along with millions of dollars set aside to invest in this budding venture, Australia hopes to take a bite out of Africa’s cacao production stronghold. Horizon Science plans to produce chocolate for the “couture” chocolate market.
