The key ingredient in these delicacies is derived from cocoa beans, also known as the \u201c<em>food of the gods<\/em>\u201d, and popularly renowned for its ancient history as well as its health and nutritional attributes.<\/p>\n<p>The use of chemical control measures to manage cocoa pests and diseases could cause food safety concerns if pesticide application is not done in the prescribed manner, leading to residues above maximum prescribed levels for chemical compounds that are dangerous to the health of the consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Our priority is the production of wholesome cocoa beans, safe for consumption. In this respect, the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO), in close cooperation with the cocoa industry, publishes a manual of <strong><em>Pesticide Use in Cocoa<\/em><\/strong> providing broad guidelines on the choice and application of pesticides used in the cocoa supply chain. The first, second and third editions of the manual were published in 2008, 2010 and 2015 respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-iboriy-8ef3adf213820af97c4261745b5380ee av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lhyyqixj-c5b48c1e7483c9811d6c3fd5a4822ce4\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lhyyqixj-c5b48c1e7483c9811d6c3fd5a4822ce4 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lhyyqixj-c5b48c1e7483c9811d6c3fd5a4822ce4 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lhyyqixj-c5b48c1e7483c9811d6c3fd5a4822ce4 av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-4  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"#download\" class='avia_image '  aria-label='Page_Pesticides_3'><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-22388 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-22388 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Page_Pesticides_3.jpg\" alt='' title='Page_Pesticides_3'  height=\"400\" width=\"400\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Page_Pesticides_3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Page_Pesticides_3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Page_Pesticides_3-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Page_Pesticides_3-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Page_Pesticides_3-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Page_Pesticides_3-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Page_Pesticides_3-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-255hrga-f7d838f54851f0645c87c5642a94763f av_one_full  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_two_fifth  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lhyysyc3-23b7780b670375ae8505f503aa43e36b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The past decade has witnessed a significant change in the food safety and environmental sustainability landscape, calling for greater focus from policy makers on protecting people and the environment. This and other considerations prompted the publication of the fourth edition of the manual to meet the challenges of the times.<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to inform the public, and particularly our stakeholders, of the release of the fourth edition of the manual. This edition is packed with more information on the science and application of pesticides. In addition, there are new sections on policy changes in traceability schemes, EU Green Deal on sustainable use of pesticides, bio-alternatives to chemical control and an analysis of emerging pest threats.<\/p>\n<p>The manual is intuitively designed to be user-friendly, particularly for cocoa farmers and cocoa traders. The manual is also a training guide for agricultural extension agents, agricultural students and staff of cocoa institutions and bodies. The manual will be very useful for cocoa warehouse managers, pesticide manufacturers, pesticide sellers and any other party that desires to know more about the safety of cocoa for consumption.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage wide distribution of this free downloadable manual to concerned parties interested in the production and handling of cocoa.<\/p>\n<p>Let us all collaborate together to ensure safe cocoa production for consumption and for the pleasure of consumers of chocolate and other cocoa products.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  id=\"download\"  class='hr av-li04y67g-33a83a7d303c83e14013a2d1ebca774e hr-default  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_third '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-57qgai-eb898a8d9bd1d2fa9f4e1af276ccb4e5 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div  '     ><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-lhyyy4ac-d0446ca81add6c55c354e08a764a3d71-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-9  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><a href='https:\/\/www.icco.org\/guide-pesticide-eng-v10\/'  class='avia-button av-lhyyy4ac-d0446ca81add6c55c354e08a764a3d71 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-small avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"Download English version (PDF 27 Mb.)\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue82d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Download English version (PDF 27 Mb.)<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-43hjsq-f8a7f04abc0c60ed54116d9fd05cd6ab av_one_third  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  flex_column_div  '     ><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-lhyz4699-c07a2aead6a89f1cf00b40d0bec54cbf-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><a href='https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/GUIDE-PESTICIDE-FR_06-23.pdf'  class='avia-button av-lhyz4699-c07a2aead6a89f1cf00b40d0bec54cbf av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-small avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"T\u00e9l\u00e9charger la version fran\u00e7aise (PDF 37Mb)\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue82d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >T\u00e9l\u00e9charger la version fran\u00e7aise (PDF 37Mb)<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-tdzr8a-c50143a7c82f5696228e6d1befaf08f7 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-lhyz4st0-111f33bf2c38ffca696eaccc1ffea08c-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-13  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><a href='https:\/\/www.icco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/GUIDE-PESTICIDE-SP_06-23.pdf'  class='avia-button av-lhyz4st0-111f33bf2c38ffca696eaccc1ffea08c av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-small avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"Descargar versi\u00f3n en espa\u00f1ol (PDF 37Mb)\"><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue82d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Descargar versi\u00f3n en espa\u00f1ol (PDF 37Mb)<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"parent":1940,"menu_order":9,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-22362","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<title>Pesticide Use in Cocoa -
