Hi All!

We are cocoa enthusiast and need help from the experienced.

We roast coffee and now want to roast cocoa and planning to start a small shop selling Bean to bar single origin chocolates.
We are situated in South Africa, and finding it very hard to break into the cocoa import market on small quantities that are cost effective to produce single origin bars.

Can anybody recommend who can supply me with cocoa beans,in small quantities (ie.100 kg. approximately)?
We would like to do this directly from farm suppliers, if it is possible? 

We appreciate any/ all help with referrals, suppliers , direct farms contact details etc. or any other information to make this seemingly imposiible task a little lighter as we are 100% commited in Cocoa and very much look forward to roasting great world quality beans and growing into a full production Bean to Bar manufacturer in South Africa.

Thanking you in advance... for the love of cocoa.

Sumari & Frederick

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
