Seventy-six percent of consumers want to buy more sustainable chocolate or cocoa-based products but are unsure how—yet price remains a major barrier. In response to tightened cocoa supplies and price volatility, Cargill is spotlighting NextCoa—a resource-reliable confectionery alternative designed for more sustainable indulgence. Made from gently roasted grape and sunflower seeds, the ingredient can be used in various traditionally cocoa-based applications.

Cargill experts will discuss how brands can manage cocoa costs, lower environmental impact, and still deliver consumer delight. NextCoa can reduce carbon footprint by up to 67% compared to chocolate, cut land-related impacts by 90%, and consume 95% less water—figures based on independently panel-reviewed Life Cycle Assessments

For food industry professionals, brand managers, and sustainability leads, this webinar provides a preview of the next generation of indulgent ingredients.
