A celebration of the Pacific’s cacao and chocolate history in cultivation, value, innovation and its potential in the world’s Artisan food markets. To mark this occasion we have designed six exciting competitions to reward Farmers, Bean-to-Bar Chocolate Makers, Youth Innovators, and Chocolate Lovers.

We have an exciting mix of craft chocolate exhibitors, participants and supporters from around the Pacific including New Zealand and Australia.

Included are a range of cacao and chocolate workshops show casing some of the unique ways of consuming cacao and the incredible talent of craft chocolatiers who bring out the best in Pacific beans through bean-to-bars.

The winners of the Samoan beans category, will have their beans sent to the prestigious Cocoa of Excellence Awards in Paris next year.

This event is funded by The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade New Zealand (MFAT); and is a collaboration between Grow Asia Pacific Charitable Trust, Ms Sunshine Organic Farms Charitable Trust, Samoa, and SPS Biota.

We look forward to celebrating Pacific Cacao & Chocolate with You!
