The market

in Brasil

It's hard to believe, 

but Brazil is a cacao importer.
Consumption in country is so high
that cacao has to be additionally
bought from other countries.
Brazil has now become

the third largest consumer of cacao
in the world.

Cacao is still an important 

component of Brazilian
agriculture. However, production has
shrunk to about 270,000 tons
per year. Although Brazil was once 

 the second largest producer
in the world. The culprit was the

so-called witch's broom disease.
 A disease, which plunged

the industry into a deep crisis in the 1980s, from which it has from which
it is steadily recovering.

The market

worldwide

Cacao producers produce more 

than four million tons of cacao beans 

per year. The largest producing
countries are the Ivory Coast and
Ghana which account for two-thirds
of global cacao production.

Three companies dominate the
purchasing the global cacao market.

They supply food companies 

all over the world with cacao beans 

and  semi-industrialized products
like raw paste, cocoa butter and
cocoa powder. 

Almost half of the world's 

consumption, around 45%, is
accounted for Europe, followed by
North, Central and South America.

Broken down by country, the 

the USA consumes the most
cocoa-containing products
(797,000 tons).

Our goals

for the future

A few giant corporations 

dominate the purchase and
processing of cacao. 

The growers have no influence
on pricing. Cacao is traded on
the international commodity/

stock markets in London and
New York. Without taking into
account its origin.

In this way, we would like to 

offer our premium cacao
beans for direct sale

in this niche segment. This is on
 one hand for the buyer (chocolate producer) a completely transparent source with the highest quality
features.
And on the other hand,
we can offer even better income conditions for our workers. 

As well as run the farm
economically and ecologically.
