Products & Specifications

We major in the following commodities

Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon are responsible for over 70% of the world's cocoa production.

Cocoa Beans

Dried and fully fermented seeds of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) — the primary ingredient in chocolate production. Rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, magnesium and iron, fermented, dried and prepared for export to international processors.

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa Butter

Semi-finished. The pure, pale-yellow fat pressed from cocoa mass. Stable and smooth-melting, it is essential in chocolate and confectionery and widely used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Shea Butter

Shea Butter

A natural fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), native to West Africa. Rich in vitamins A and E and essential fatty acids, it is prized in skincare, cosmetics and hair care for its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Cocoa Mass

Cocoa Mass

Semi-finished. Also known as cocoa liquor, it is made by finely grinding roasted cocoa nibs into a rich paste that sets solid. The base ingredient for chocolate makers and food manufacturers.

Cocoa Cake

Cocoa Cake

Semi-finished. The solid material left after cocoa butter is pressed from cocoa mass. It is sold as it is or ground into cocoa powder for the food and beverage industries.
