The story

Festival du Cacao in Daloa

Festival du Cacao refers to cocoa-themed festivals staged in and around Daloa, the city regularly called Cote d'Ivoire's cocoa capital. Events in this cluster, including the Transcao Cacao Festival International, combine tastings, producer stalls and cooperative displays celebrating the farmers behind the country's cocoa exports. Because branding and organizers have varied across recent editions, the exact current event should be confirmed locally.

Daloa sits at the heart of Cote d'Ivoire's cocoa belt, a city regularly described in agricultural reporting as the country's cocoa capital, and Festival du Cacao is best understood as part of a cluster of cocoa-themed gatherings that this region hosts around harvest seasons rather than one single fixed institution.
