The Voice of the

European Cocoa Industry

Statistics Q4 2020 are available
  • About us

    The European Cocoa Association (ECA) is a trade association that groups the major companies involved in the cocoa bean trade and processing, in warehousing and related logistical activities in Europe. Together, ECA Members represent two-thirds of Europe’s cocoa beans grinding, half of Europe’s industrial chocolate production and 40% of the world production of cocoa liquor, butter and powder. On behalf of its members, ECA monitors and reports on developments impacting the cocoa sector, both at regulatory and scientific levels. In addition, ECA is actively engaged in European and International fora related to the industry’s contribution to a sustainable cocoa economy.

  • What they think about chocolate

    • The superiority of chocolate, both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain

      Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826; third President of the USA)

    • So noble a confession more than nectar & ambrosia, the true food of the gods

      Dr Etienne Bachot(1610-1687; French physician)

    • Nowhere else has nature compressed such a store of the most valuable nutrient into such a small space as it has with the cocoa bean

      Alexander Von Humboldt (1769-1859; German naturalist & traveler)

    • Look, there’s no metaphysics on earth like chocolates

      Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935; Portuguese poet)
