Made-In-Nigeria Chocolates by Femi Oyedipe 🍫 (💰 50%)

Is there anything you can't find in this great country Nigeria now? Few hours ago I would disagree that chocolates could be made in Nigeria not until I came across Loshes Chocolate, which has actually been in existence since 2015.

Over 70% of cocoa production takes place in West Africa with Ivory Coast and Ghana being the largest producers, followed by Nigeria and Cameroon. Unfortunately, none of these countries are among the top 10 manufacturers and exporters of chocolate in the world.

Most of the cocoa produced in these regions are exported and their by-products are eventually imported from foreign countries. As of 2016, the global chocolate industry was worth $98.3 billion with the USA having the largest market share.

In a bid to position Nigeria to benefit from this multi billion-dollar industry, Femi Oyedipe founded LoshesChocolate in 2015. LoshesChocolate produces chocolates from cocoa beans sourced from various locations in Nigeria. The company boasts of its premium quality chocolates handcrafted from a single source of cocoa to the finished products.

Isn't it amazing that we can now have chocolates made-in-Nigeria?
