Written by: Martin Christy

The ICCO, the International Cocoa Organization – trade body for cacao growers, have a new website. Much more up to date and modern, and looks easier to use.

The site so far has actually less images than the old site, but hopefully these will come along in the near future. View the new version at www.icco.org.
