At Nessentis, we were delighted to attend the Cocoa Dinner 2026, organized by the Federation of Cocoa Commerce (FCC), one of the leading organizations in international cocoa trade.

Held in London, this event has become one of the most important gatherings for key players in the global cocoa industry, bringing together producers, traders, distributors, and companies connected to the cocoa sector.

Beyond its institutional relevance, the Cocoa Dinner represents a unique opportunity to strengthen relationships, exchange perspectives, and build new connections in an increasingly dynamic and demanding global environment.

A space to connect the entire cocoa value chain

This year’s edition once again brought together hundreds of professionals from across the international cocoa industry in a setting designed to encourage networking, the exchange of ideas, and the development of long-term relationships.

During the event, the Nessentis team had the opportunity to accompany clients, suppliers, and industry partners, as well as engage in strategic conversations about market developments, the global challenges facing the industry, and future opportunities for collaboration.

In a highly internationalized industry such as cocoa, gatherings like this continue to demonstrate the significant value of personal contact and the ability to bring so many key industry stakeholders together in one place.

The role of the Federation of Cocoa Commerce — FCC

The Federation of Cocoa Commerce, founded in London, is one of the most relevant organizations within international cocoa trade. Its work is essential in fostering dialogue among the different participants in the value chain, promoting best practices, and contributing to the development of a more structured and transparent market.

At Nessentis, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the FCC for organizing initiatives such as the Cocoa Dinner, which create valuable spaces for connection and collaboration among companies from around the world.

We would also like to congratulate Amit Suri, Chairman of the FCC Board, for his remarks during the event on the challenges and opportunities the industry will need to address in the coming years. His speech highlighted key issues related to market evolution, sustainability, volatility, and the future of the international cocoa sector.

London: meetings, strategy and new opportunities

Beyond the event itself, the days leading up to the Cocoa Dinner were marked by an intensive schedule of meetings and strategic discussions in London.

Part of the Nessentis team participated in various working sessions with clients and international partners, strengthening existing relationships and exploring new business opportunities in key markets.

These types of meetings reflect the way we understand the sector: an industry built on trusted relationships, shared knowledge, and a long-term vision.

Participating in international events such as the Cocoa Dinner enables Nessentis to remain closely connected to the global evolution of the cocoa market, better understand the needs of our partners, and reinforce our presence within the sector’s international ecosystem. Because behind every strong relationship, there are always conversations, people, and experiences that help build it.
