About Cocoa Beans (Food Service)
Cocoa beans are fermented and dried seeds from Theobroma cacao pods, primarily used by food manufacturers to produce chocolate, cocoa powder, and cocoa butter for commercial food service applications. International trade focuses on two main varieties: Forastero beans (robust, high-yield, ~80% of global supply) and Criollo beans (premium, complex flavor). West Africa dominates production, with Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana accounting for approximately 60% of global exports, followed by Ecuador, Indonesia, and Cameroon. Buyers should verify fermentation quality through bean-cut analysis, as inadequate fermentation directly impacts final product flavor and shelf stability, regardless of origin premium pricing.
