The Philippines is an agricultural country. We have an abundance of crops that we enjoy like rice, corn, and coconut. But there’s one thing people keep on forgetting that we have to thank farmers for–chocolates!
One Filipino cocoa farmer named Jose Saguban made it to the prestigious International Cocoa Awards (ICA). He will be joining the top 50 cocoa producers in the world at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris, France from October 30 to November 3, 2019.
