It's not just the cocoa that is grown in Ghana but all of the processing is also kept in Ghana, as this enables the community to develop new skills and produce a product which will gain a higher price on the cocoa market. Gary McCann, sales and marketing director for Beyond the Bean, commented on the launch of these new products: "We are delighted to be able to launch the fantastic new Byron Bay Cookie and Sweetbird products at this year's Caffe Culture show. It is the show that the majority of people who are looking to be leaders in the coffee industry attend to see what is new and a must have product for their business. Even in these difficult trading conditions, there will be those businesses that will be looking for new and innovative products to make them stand out from the crowd."
