  • There’s a new chocolate revolution brewing in India. It’s the perfect storm of farming, fermentation, and fast tech - and at the eye of the storm is Hyderabad’s Manam Chocolate. Coinciding at a time when global shortage of cocoa beans sent cocoa prices through the roof, this chocolate company has been carefully honing its art, ready to show the world what Indian chocolate can be like. And Manam aims to put India on the map. In this supply chain, chocolate travels from bean to bar. In fact, the process starts before the bean is grown in the farms of Western Godavari - helmed by Manam’s parent company Distinct Origins - and ends at Manam Karkhana in Hyderabad, where it is turned into chocolate bars, bonbons, truffles, pastries, cakes, croissants.

    Hey print,
    Awesome topic 😀
    Can you make a whole documentary (vox type) on such topics?
    This is amazing 😍
    If high level editing is used in such topics,
    Then they have potential to go viral

    Cocoa crop was introduced as an inter crop in coconut farms in northern Kerala when coconut farmers were finding it tough to generate profits in Kerala in the 1980s. Then there was a price drop in the international market for cocoa beans and Amul entered the fray to support the farmers. Amul chocolates were initially mass market chocolates competing head-on against Cadbury's chocolate which had a monopoly in India for a long time. Now we do not see Amul chocolates because probably it does not fit in with Amul's strategy of supporting farmers. Amul was also producing cocoa powder as raw material for other companies which produced cocoa based drinks like Boost.

    If you're intending your product to gain market share in India why is the pricing so off ? Rupees 650 for 200gm of chocolate is too high for the Indian consumer. I checked your website and realized it's either a 'luxury brand' which means you're targeting a thin select market share or it's destined for export.

    Great video but he’s wrong with the consumption of cacao 11:17
    Cacao / cocoa doesn’t have a historical connection to colonization and slavery, that’s only recent (written) history of the last few hundred years.
    In South and Central America, the origin of cacao tree, it’s been harvested and eaten for thousands of years or longer.
    It’s only been commodified by the colonizer after learning about it in around the ~1500s CE

    ua-cam.com/video/OW8T8wegz8E/v-deo.htmlsi=qt5xP8KhVI57_bet. I am surprised that there is no mention of Campco chocolate factory of Puttur, Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka. It is apparently second biggest factory in South East Asia and it is run by a cooperative. The claim that Cacao came to India 6-7 years ago is false.

      Recently I have recently visited the tea and Chocolate factory in Ooty. But sadly they failed to take those flavours to the world stage and more over the farms in West Godavari are plain lands not hilli areas such as Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Karnataka. So, if this succeeded then more farms can be cultivated in normal conditions across the country.
