COMMON QUESTIONS

A few things worth knowing.

How do I choose a cocoa grade?

Send your application, reference specification, target fat content, pH or colour, and destination market. Fat level and alkalization are separate selection criteria. A sample trial helps confirm suitability.

Can I request a sample?

Yes. Submit a sample request with your company, destination and intended application. Sample availability, shipping arrangements and any costs are confirmed before dispatch.

Where are production and trade coordinated?

Production is based in Cambodia, with trade coordination in China. The contracting entity, shipping point and document responsibilities are confirmed in each quotation.

Which technical documents should I request?

Ask for the grade-specific technical data sheet, a relevant certificate of analysis and any documents required by the importing country. Certificate scope, validity and issuing entity must be checked for the proposed supply.

What are your MOQ, packaging and delivery terms?

These depend on the grade, shipment and destination. Include your estimated volume and requested delivery date so they can be confirmed in the quotation. No fixed MOQ or delivery commitment is implied by this website.

Do you supply every destination?

Market eligibility is reviewed before quotation, including importer requirements, food standards and documentation. The United States and Japan are not current target sales markets.
