Chocolate makers

Samoa's chocolate pioneers back in business

RNZ reports in 2003 Wilex Samoa's factory at Moata'a was burnt to the ground but now it has launched its new Koko Loa chocolates.

The company is now based at Lelata, not far from its previous location.

The general manager and owner, Tagaloa Eddie Wilson, said the company had been facing a lot of challenges but Koko Loa had already been successfully introduced into New Caledonia.

Tagaloa said he had the support of the Ministry of Agriculture to expand.
