2006
Zulhefi Sikumbang, Indonesian Cocoa Association
Cocoa plays important role in Indonesian economy. However, contribution of cocoa mainly comes from cocoa bean export rather than cocoa processing and chocolate products. This paper addresses the challenge of the development of cocoa industries in Indonesia. Performance of cocoa industries, especially local industries, is hindered by disincentive government regulations, lack of working capital and innovation, poor market network, absence of international cooperation with similar industries, low quality brand image, products only limited to cocoa cake, cocoa paste and butter, and poor cocoa bean quality. Nonetheless, solutions to the problems are suggested. The prospect for further development of cocoa industries in Indonesia is promising.
