Journey to destination chocolate

Ashley Parasram, the visionary director of the Trinidad and Tobago Fine Cocoa Company, has dedicated the past decade to revitalizing the islands’ cocoa industry. His journey began in 2012 when he returned to his birthplace, Trinidad and Tobago, after years abroad. With a background in sustainable development and forestry management, Parasram was drawn to the potential of cocoa as a catalyst for economic and cultural revival.
