About Cocoa Beans (Industrial)
Cocoa beans are fermented and dried seeds from Theobroma cacao pods, serving as the primary raw material for chocolate manufacturing, cocoa butter extraction, and cocoa powder production across confectionery, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Internationally traded grades are classified by fermentation quality, defect counts, and cocoa butter content, with standard specifications including Fermented and Dried (F&D) beans graded as Fine Flavor or Bulk varieties. West Africa dominates global production, with Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana collectively supplying over 70% of exports, followed by Indonesia, Cameroon, and Ecuador. Buyers should prioritize testing for moisture content (7-8% optimal) and mold contamination, as improper storage in humid climates significantly degrades cocoa butter quality and finished product yield.
