Mabong and Moli have helped put Vanuatu on the global cocoa map for fine chocolate.
The two men celebrated with the winners today as they received Certificates of Recognition at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris, France.
Their cocoa bean samples were among the initial 166 samples submitted from 44 cocoa producing countries.
Every two years, this unique Programme spearheaded by Bioversity International and Event International recognizes quality, flavour and diversity of cocoas according to their origin.
