He has even invited us to the UK to exhibit our products, but we are waiting to complete all necessary documentation.We are the ones slowing things down as we want to ensure a hitch-free exercise otherwise, the launch would have taken place in February or last weekend.

Adding that: ," The launch of the chocolate in London in July will be the precursor to the exportation of our products to the UK.This year, we would have our first official export as virtually everything is set. 

He also said the company’s exploratory team to Canada would return soon and a date would be fixed for the Canada launch, while the U.S.A, would follow in quick succession.

The Chocolate bars, he said were were already on sale in the United States and other parts of the world, though unofficially.
