We own and operate cacao farms in North Kivu and supply premium fermented cocoa beans directly to chocolate manufacturers and importers worldwide — every lot geolocated, cut-tested and documented from plot to port.
Most cocoa leaving eastern DR Congo passes through three or four hands before it reaches a shipping line. We removed those hands. You buy from the company that grows, ferments and dries the beans.
No aggregator layer between you and the farm. We control fermentation and drying, which is where cocoa quality is actually won or lost.
Every plot in our network is polygon-mapped. We hand over a geolocation data pack with the shipping documents, not six weeks later.
North Kivu and Ituri give us complementary altitude bands and staggered harvests — different flavour profiles, one quality protocol.
Cut tests, moisture readings, free fatty acid and lab bulletins from both DRC and Uganda travel with the lot.
Look up a lot, check what is on the floor this month, and model your landed cost — without waiting on a sales reply.

Eastern DR Congo sits on the western arm of the Great Rift Valley. Volcanic soils, altitude between 800 and 1,350 metres, and rainfall spread across most of the year give cacao a slow, even maturation that lowland origins cannot reproduce. The result is a bean with real acidity structure — red fruit and citrus over a deep cocoa base — rather than flat commodity cocoa.
It is also one of the least industrialised cocoa origins left. There is no century-old export cartel here. That means the traceability most origins are retrofitting under pressure, we simply built in from the start.
