Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate. The essentials united.
To originate
Cargill is one of the world’s leading cocoa and chocolate companies due to our relentless efforts to obtain the best quality product, consistently and sustainably. To achieve this we are present at every step in the chain.
Our quest for quality begins with the farmer, continues in our factories and does not end until we have delivered the final product to our customer.
Cocoa bean sourcing operations
Our own teams man the upcountry buying stations in the cocoa-producing countries, working closely with co-operatives and buying beans directly on the local market.
Crop forecasts and market information
Our crop research teams travel extensively throughout the cocoa growing regions constantly monitoring crop growth and quality, checking for diseases, and providing us with the latest independent crop forecasts and market information to deliver key insights to benefit our customers.
Quality is key
To ensure a consistently high quality of cocoa we take a sample from every bag of beans that enters our upcountry buying stations.
We check for size, moisture content, fermentation level, fat content and pH to make certain that the beans are within specification and conform to our stringent quality standards.
