The same source notes that these exports were made by 11 exporters, but three in particular accounted for 60% of the exports. At the top of the list is Producam, which exported1,003 tonnes of cocoa in June. Next in line are the Olam group with 983 tonnes and Telcar Cocoa, Cargill’s Cameroonian trading company, which exported 853 tonnes in June 2014.
