About MIA \u2013 Amazing Food That Does Good<\/h3>\n

Set up by a group of foodies with a shared passion for the African continent, its people, wildlife and natural ingredients, MIA, short for Made In Africa, is different for its ability to deliver delicious tasting and beautiful products that are entirely crafted in Africa.<\/p>\n

With 65% of the world\u2019s cocoa coming from Africa but less than 1% of chocolate actually made there, bean-to-bar chocolate company MIA is out to change this shocking status quo<\/p>\n

The entire bean-to-bar chocolate making process \u2013 including the roasting, shelling, grinding, tempering and even packaging \u2013 takes place under one roof in Madagascar to utilise the freshest and best ingredients.<\/p>\n

By doing this, MIA also brings three times more benefit to local communities in Africa (vs. export of raw ingredients).<\/p>\n

The MIA brand is partnered with Proudly Made in Africa (PMIA) to ensure that products aren\u2019t just made on the continent but are produced with as many locally sourced ingredients and materials as possible.<\/p>\n

MIA is committed to a 1 for Change programme which ensures that 1% of all MIA sales are dedicated to development projects in places where a little goes a long way. Whether it\u2019s projects to help save local endangered species or to improve a community\u2019s livelihoods, the scheme is central to the brand\u2019s philosophy.<\/p>\n
