Workers manipulate sacks of cocoa beans at the ESCO Kivu cocoa processing plant in Beni on November 14, 2016. Cocoa farming in the Beni area started in the late 1990's after the coffee plantations that were historically grown there were decimated by tracheomycosis. ESCO Kivu buys cocoa beans to local farmers and condition them for export towards Europe and North America. / AFP PHOTO / Eduardo Soteras
