Wholesale programmes

Indonesian cocoa export services for wholesale buyers

Custom fermentation, OEM private-label packing, application-specific grades, and the lot-level documentation EU and industrial buyers file with every container.

Catalogue SKUs cover standard orders. These programmes are for procurement teams that need a named fermentation protocol, bag marks under their brand, a grade framed by the plant application, or an EUDR-ready document pack before the vessel sails. Everything below is wholesale: container or multi-tonne minimums, written confirmations, and records tied to the export lot.

Programmes you can book

Custom cocoa fermentation programmes

Box-fermentation run to your written protocol on a named cooperative harvest, for couverture and single-origin buyers who need a cut-test target our standard Indonesian grades do not hit.

  • Agreed day count, turning schedule, target cut-test percentage, and drying moisture before the harvest is booked.
  • Minimum one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). Wholesale only; no single-bag or micro-lot programmes.
  • A trial container is available before a multi-container season contract.
  • Fermentation logs and cut-test photos ship with the lot and are retained against the contract reference.

Application-specific cocoa grades

The same Indonesian cocoa, published the way processors buy: bean-to-bar and couverture, pressing and industrial, bakery and confectionery.

  • Dedicated collection pages for bean-to-bar, pressing, and bakery grades with specs tied to the use case.
  • Product names lead with the application (couverture, pressing, bakery, beverage) so procurement files stay clear.
  • Application-matched samples with cut-test or COA data before the first wholesale order.

OEM and private-label cocoa packing

Buyer bag marks, custom stencilling, and packing-list formats for recurring wholesale cocoa contracts from Indonesia.

  • Jute and kraft stencil marks, language variants, and lot-code formats confirmed at proforma stage.
  • Available on standing wholesale contracts at our standard MOQs, not as a sample-bag service.
  • Packing lists can carry your marks; commercial invoice entity is agreed in the contract.
  • Send print-ready artwork and barcode rules with the quote request so we can clear them before vessel cut-off.

Cocoa sampling and laboratory COAs

Pre-shipment samples, cut-test photos, and ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory certificates for inbound QC on Indonesian cocoa lots.

  • 500 g to 2 kg samples of current lots, costs credited against the first order.
  • Third-party lab COAs for moisture, bean count, cut-test appearance, and microbiology when your inbound QC requires them.
  • SGS or equivalent pre-shipment inspection at the loading port, quoted separately.

Cocoa export documentation and EUDR packs

Export and sustainability paperwork assembled to the lot, including EUDR-oriented traceability fields for cocoa placed on the EU market from 30 December 2026.

  • Lot-linked producer or cooperative identity and plot-location fields in the format your EU compliance team specifies.

Cocoa logistics and dry-container programmes

  • Primary loading ports Makassar and Surabaya, with Belawan available for Sumatran lots when schedule fits.

How buyers use these programmes

Who should book a custom fermentation programme?

Book a custom programme when your couverture or single-origin brief needs a cut-test band, day count, or drying moisture our catalogue Grade A lots do not publish. We write the protocol before the cooperative harvest is reserved, run box fermentation against that protocol, and ship fermentation logs with the container. The floor is one 20 ft FCL (about 13 MT). If a standard Sulawesi, Sumatra, or Papua fermented lot already matches your roast profile, buy the catalogue grade instead and keep the shorter lead time.

How does OEM private-label packing work for cocoa beans?

On a standing wholesale contract we stencil your bag marks, lot codes, and language variants onto jute or kraft packing, and we can format the packing list to your receiving system. The commercial invoice entity stays with us unless the contract says otherwise. Artwork and barcode rules must clear before the vessel cut-off. OEM packing does not change MOQs: fermented beans stay at 13 MT, unfermented beans and cake from 5 MT, and processed ingredients at their published floors. Send artwork with the quote request so feasibility is confirmed before you approve the proforma.

What documents ship with every Indonesian cocoa container?

Every container leaves with a phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list, and loading photos. On request we add Organic, Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, Halal, ISO 22000 scope documents, third-party inspection, and EUDR-oriented producer or plot fields in the format your compliance team specifies. Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 applies to cocoa from 30 December 2026, so EU-bound programmes should lock the document checklist at enquiry stage, not at stuffing.

How do application-specific grades differ from catalogue SKUs?

Application grades are the same physical lots, organised by the job your plant runs. Bean-to-bar and couverture pages gather fermented Grade A beans, including Organic and Fairtrade options. Pressing pages gather unfermented beans and cocoa cake. Bakery and confectionery pages gather nibs, liquor, butter, cake, and powders. Specs stay measurable (fermentation, fat, pH, fineness); the landing pages and product names lead with the application so your procurement file matches how the cocoa is used.

Services FAQ

Custom fermentation, OEM packing, minimum orders, certifications, and shipping, answered for wholesale buyers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
