Share this story...

Nestle is moving some of its production to the Ivory Coast.

The world’s biggest food maker has plans to step up distribution of disease-resistant cocoa trees to farmers there.

Nestle will hand out 600,000 saplings by the end of July and another million by the end of next year.

It’s part of a plan to boost productivity on farms and improve the quality of cocoa beans.
