    Livelihoods in Pennsylvania and West Africa

    Entry: Marisa Yoneyama, World Cocoa Foundation

    In the United States, approximately 68,450 jobs are directly linked to chocolate and confectionery products. These jobs are spread out over 35 states, with particular concentration in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, California, New York, Wisconsin, Texas, Virginia, and Ohio. In Pennsylvania, the largest chocolate-producing state, there are approximately 10,000 jobs attributed to chocolate and cocoa.

    The Patriot-News recently published an op-ed by WCF president Bill Guyton that discusses the role that cocoa plays in livelihoods for people both in Pennsylvania and West Africa.
