A state-of-the-art cocoa processing facility in Gresik, in the East-Java region of Indonesia will be Cargill's first cocoa processing plant in Asia. The new facility is to meet the growing demand amongst customers for cocoa products and to encourage the development of the Asian cocoa sector. The $100 million-investment will also strengthen the company's Indonesian cocoa sourcing network and cocoa sustainability activities, Cargill said. When operational by mid-2014, the facility will lead to approximately 200 new jobs in Indonesia, as well as additional positions in its existing R&D application centres in Kuala Lumpur and Beijing, and in the company's commercial network, which it is strengthening to better serve the needs of customers in Asia.
