These fora serve as venue for active discussions and fair resolution of issues that impact on the industry. The conventions also serve as forum of ideas for domestic and foreign experts where achievement, gains and concerns are synthesized as input in directing globally oriented plans and programs. It also serves as venue for the cocoa industry sub-sectors to identify business opportunities and strengthen market linkages.

The Foundation also organizes trade missions to explore new export market opportunities and find ways to strengthen industry foothold in existing ones.
