VEVEY: Nestle is stepping up its project to combat deforestation in Ivory Coast caused by the growth of cocoa farming, bringing cocoa trading companies directly on board.The west African country had 16 million hectares of forest in the 1960s - a figure which is now down to less than 3 million, mainly due to cocoa plantations.
The Nestle project was a partnership with the Ivorian government and the Earthworm Foundation, an NGO that led the project's implementation. "The very heart of our business is at stake.

The NGO says 54 per cent of Switzerland's cocoa imports come from countries where the risk of deforestation is either high or very high.
