Between 27 and 31 May 2019, Strongim Bisnis helped 17—mostly female—trainers from Solomon Islands Rural Training Centres and non-government organisations learn how to make drinking chocolate, face cream, tea and nibs from Solomon Islands cocoa beans. The week-long training was taught by Oongah Browne and Floris Niu from Koko Samoa, a Samoan cocoa and drinking chocolate organisation.
