Questions buyers ask about Nigerian cocoa beans.
Do you supply certified organic or Fairtrade cocoa?
Standard supply is conventional Grade 1 and Grade 2. Certified organic or Fairtrade lots can be arranged against confirmed volume and a minimum lead time of 8 to 10 weeks.
What is the typical shipping window?
Main crop shipments run October through March. Light crop is April through August. Storage stock is available between seasons at slightly higher cost.
What is bean count and why does it matter?
Bean count is the number of beans per 100 g. Grade 1 requires a maximum of 100 beans per 100 g, meaning larger, more mature beans. It directly affects butter yield in processing.
