Episode 12 Overview

For this trip, I was tasked with moderating panels at International Cocoa Diplomacy’s International Cocoa and Chocolate Forum / Nigeria, held in Abuja and Lagos. International Cocoa Diplomacy (“ICD”), while incorporated in London, was founded by the Oloni of Eti-Oni, HRM Oba Dokun Thompson, my host on this trip as well as for my visit to London in October 2023.

Nigeria is roughly four times the area of Ghana with over 6.5 times the population. With over 220 million inhabitants, the Nigerian market is roughly two-thirds that of the United States. And, Lagos boasts one of the busiest ports in Africa, much busier than Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire, which produces 7-8x more cocoa than Nigeria does.
