Indonesia is one of the world’s largest producers of cocoa beans, known for its unique flavor profiles and diverse varieties. With increasing global demand for high-quality cocoa, Indonesian cocoa beans are gaining attention among international buyers.
In this article, we’ll explore the quality of Indonesia’s cocoa, its export readiness, and why it’s a smart choice for your business.
1. Why Choose Cocoa Beans from Indonesia?
Indonesia is home to Trinitario and Forastero varieties — both known for strong cocoa flavor and consistent quality. Farmers in regions such as Sulawesi, Sumatra, Java, and Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) contribute to a steady national supply.
Key advantages:
- Stable supply throughout the year (with peak seasons mid and end of year)
- Favorable climate and soil for cocoa farming
- Growing investment in post-harvest processing and farmer welfare
2. Our Indonesia Cocoa Bean Quality & Processing
At Majestic Cocoa , we ensure strict quality control:
- Fermentation & drying done in-house
- Super grade = mix of large & small beans
- Grade A = consistently small-sized beans
- Distinctively aromatic and low in off-odors
- Stored and packed with care
We work closely with local farmers to maintain product consistency and traceability.
3. Indonesia Export Process and Documentation Cocoa Beans
Documents we can provide include:
- Phytosanitary Certificate
- Packing List & Invoice
- Certificate of Origin
- Others as required by destination country
Phytosanitary inspection can be arranged and combined with other shipments to save time.
Note: We do not recommend using SGS, as past experience showed delays and high costs. However, it’s available upon request.
4. Packaging, Sampling, and MOQ
- Samples available: 1 kg (free)
- Packaging: 50 kg or customized bags
- Container: 20FT/17MT and 40FT/27-28MT
5. Estimated Demand and Harvest Season
Because cocoa beans are not harvested year-round, we kindly ask for your estimated annual or semi-annual volume. This helps us ensure stable supply planning.
Main harvest seasons vary by region, but typically occur:
- Mid-year (around June–July)
- End of year (around November–December)
Conclusion
Indonesia’s cocoa beans offer high quality, steady supply, and unique flavor — all backed by strong post-harvest practices. Whether you’re a chocolate maker, trader, or cocoa processor, partnering with Indonesian suppliers like Majestic Cocoa ensures consistency and transparency.
