Samoa's exports have been dominated by taro and other produce grown in the islands.
One produce that is silently making its way to the export table is cocoa – Samoan Koko - according to Lisa Karene the Executive Director of Noras Plantation Foods in Vaitele.
"We decided on the cocoa because it was easy to process, and from our market research it was one of the ‘trendier’ superfoods to put out there," she said.
Despite admitting to being late into the Australian market, Karene says they’ve seen a lot of growth in the demands due to high quality needs.
