THE Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Cooperative (Campco) Ltd has strengthened the chocolate marketing division to boost the sales of finished cocoa products.

Addressing presspersons here on Friday after attending the 31st annual general meeting of the cooperative, the Campco President, Mr L.N.
