Foreign materials : We ensure that the foreign materials in any quantity of cocoa beans that we deliver is reduced to the barest minimum. This is in line with specifications of regulatory bodies and other associations like The Cocoa association of Nigeria in conjunction with the federal ministry of agriculture who ensure thorough inspection of cocoa products. We also ensure  product quality with machineries which we have put in place in our facilities. With these controls in place, we deliver zero or not more than 0.5% foreign materials on any quantity of cocoa beans that we deliver.

Flat beans – We ensure that the flat beans component of the cocoa we deliver is not more than 5% for the light crop (LC) and not more than 1%  for the main crop (MC).

Mouldy beans: We take cognizance of mould as one of the major defects of cocoa which leads to lack of taste, bitter taste, and lack of flavor before and after production of cocoa cake, butter and powder.

As a result of this, we deliver cocoa products with not more than 4% of mouldy beans throughout the year.

Weevil or insect damage – This is a a major defect of cocoa. Thousands of tons can be damaged by weevils or insects in the twinkle of an eye. 

Considering this, we deliver products with no weevil or insect damage with the help of our well-trained quality control officers who work throughout the year on ensuring topmost quality.
