Hershey Chocolate
Official Visiting
Cocoa Bean Nation
The cocoa bean from Ni-geria
and Ghana, so familiar
an object to many of the Her-shey
Chocolate Corporation's
employees, is being seen this
week in its tree-borne state
at its native African source
by L. W. Majer, Chocolate
Corporation Vice President.
Mr. Majer, a U.S. appointee
to a United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization Co-coa
Study Group, left New
York last Saturday with other
American representatives to
attend a conference on world
cocoa production and con-sumption
at Ibadan, Nigeria.
His trip took him through the
cocoa-growing country of Gha-na
also.
The first visit of a Her-shey
Chocolate Corporation
representative from the
town of Hershey to the Af-rican
nation is, in effect, a
backtracking of the route
of the cocoa bean from tree
to Hershey roaster.
It will forge a closer per-sonal
link between the pro-ducer
countries and manufac-turing
Hershey, and is also
by way of re-turning a irThit ;
official delegations from both
Nigeria and Ghana have visit-ed
the Hershey factory within
the past several years.
• Mr. Majer, designated by
the U.S. State Department as
an advisor to the U.S, delega-tion
to take part in the Ni-gerian
meeting, is attending
the sessions at Ibadan from
September 17 through Sep-tember
26. A series of pre-liminary
conferences was held
at Washington, D.C., with rep-resentatives
of all segments of
the chocolate industry to
formulate the U.S. position at
the international cocoa study
group meeting.
The Hershey official was
also among the industry and
government representatives
at the June, 1956, meeting
in Rome, Italy, when the
FAO Cocoa Study Group
was authorized and set up.
He attended the first sched-uled
meeting of the group in
Brussels, Belgium, in Novem-ber
of 1956, a session largely
devoted to organizational pro-cedures.
During his current stay in
Ibadan, Mr. Majer is a guest
in the home of Mr. A. Cotter
of Mobil Oil Nigeria, Limited.
He left New York by air on
Saturday, arriving in Accra,
