Organic and Fairtrade Cocoa Beans

Dual-certified fermented lots from Sulawesi and Sumatra cooperatives for buyers who need Organic and Fairtrade on the same purchase order.

Selected partner cooperatives run Organic and Fairtrade programmes on the same parcels, so you can buy a fermented container that carries both certificates without splitting the order across suppliers. Lots are still cut-tested in Makassar to house Grade A standards, packed in new 60 kg jute bags, and shipped at a one-container minimum. Certificate scope and crop year are confirmed on the sales contract before booking.

Why dual-certified lots

European and North American brand owners often need Organic for the label and Fairtrade for the supply-chain claim on the same SKU. Sourcing both from one exporter removes the risk that the Organic lot and the Fairtrade lot arrive with different fermentation levels or bean counts. We keep the physical lot and the certificate set aligned, and we will not substitute a conventional lot if a certified lot is short.

How to order certified lots

Minimum order is one 20 ft container (about 13 MT) with a three to five week lead time, longer than conventional fermented grades because certified volume is allocated by cooperative and crop. Send your destination port, required certificate set, and volume through our contact page; we confirm certificate validity dates and the next available allotment before you approve a sample.

Frequently asked questions

Ordering, samples, shipping, and payment, answered by our export desk.

What is your minimum order quantity?

For fermented grades the minimum is one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). For unfermented Sulawesi and Java beans we can arrange partial loads from 5 MT, and LCL trial lots are available for qualified first-time buyers, subject to consolidation schedules.

Do you provide samples before ordering?

Yes. We courier 500 g – 2 kg samples of current lots, including cut-test photos and moisture readings. Sample costs are credited against your first order.

Which ports and incoterms do you work with?

We ship from Makassar and Surabaya under FOB, CFR, or CIF terms to most major ports. Every shipment includes phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, certificate of origin, and full loading documentation.

What payment terms do you accept?

Standard terms are 30% advance with order confirmation and 70% against copy of bill of lading. Irrevocable LC at sight is accepted for established buyers and larger contracts.

Which certifications can you supply?

Selected lots carry Rainforest Alliance, Organic, Fairtrade, and Halal (BPJPH) certification. Our Makassar processing and export warehousing facility operates under ISO 22000 and HACCP. Certification availability is listed on each product page.

Can you provide third-party inspection and laboratory COAs?

Yes. We can arrange SGS or equivalent pre-shipment inspection at the loading port, and ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory certificates covering moisture, bean count, cut-test appearance, and microbiology on request. Inspection costs are quoted separately and agreed before booking.

Can you run a custom fermentation programme?

Yes, for wholesale buyers. We box-ferment against a written protocol (day count, turning schedule, target cut-test, drying moisture) booked on a named cooperative harvest, starting at one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). Trial containers are available before a season contract. This is a container programme, not single-bag or micro-lot supply.

Do you offer OEM or private-label packing?

Yes. On recurring wholesale contracts we stencil buyer marks, print custom lot codes, and issue packing lists to your bag-mark requirements while keeping our legal entity on the commercial invoice unless otherwise agreed. Minimums stay at our standard wholesale floors. Send artwork and language requirements with your quote request; programme details are on the services page.
