mls Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 "Today we had the privilege of hosting His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark in the chocolate factory and even witness him trying his hand at making traditional Danish flødeboller, better known to us as ‘sweetie pies’. The Prince, who is on an official visit in South Africa, has an interest in companies like CocoáFair who trade with Denmark and operate on social entrepreneurship. How exciting is that?" https://www.facebook.com/cocoafair/posts/909340522482388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudinde Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 More information about the Cocoa Factory in a press release from Kongehuset: http://kongehuset.dk/Menu/nyheder/besog-hos-cocofair-chocolate-factory (The photo shows Crown Prince Frederik making snowballs.) "Visit at CocoáFair Chocolate Factory HRH Crown Prince visited during the business promotion in South Africa on Wednesday, November 4, 2015 the factory CocoáFair Chocolate Factory in Cape Town. The factory is owned by the Dane Thor Thorøe, who founded it in 2011. CocoáFair Chocolate Factory is Africa's first organic 'bean-to-bar' factory, which is based on social entrepreneurship. The aim is that the plant will help both to alleviate poverty while promoting sustainability. The factory achieves this by hiring underprivileged residents from surrounding townships. CocoáFair Chocolate Factory was established under 'Social Food', inspired by the Danish cooperative movement. At Social Food sheep farmers have direct access to the western market, by removing the intermediary sales channels, resulting in greater profit for local farmers, which helps to strengthen local communities and the possibility of self-support. In addition, the farmers involved are trained in organic farming techniques in a bid to make them more aware of the environment. The company has several projects in Africa, where the purchase of raw materials, processing them and the breeding takes place. During the visit, the Crown Prince was first introduced to the company by Thor Thorøe, after which he gave the Crown Prince tour of the factory." http://www.socialfoodies.dk/vision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
