From Farm to Export:
Our Cocoa Production Process
At AgroGesta BRIPO, quality begins long before export. Our Ecuadorian Fine Aroma, CCN51 and Commercial cocoa beans are produced through a carefully managed process that ensures consistency, traceability, and compliance with international market standards.
1. Cocoa Cultivation
Our cocoa is grown in Ecuador’s fertile tropical regions, where climate conditions, rainfall, and rich soils create the ideal environment for premium cocoa production.
We work closely with trusted growers who implement sustainable agricultural practices, including:
– Careful nursery and seedling selection
– Soil management and fertilization
– Pest and disease monitoring
– Shade management
– Responsible water use
– Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)
These measures ensure healthy cocoa trees and high-quality bean development.
2. Harvesting
Cocoa pods are harvested only when they reach optimal ripeness.
Our producers manually harvest pods to avoid damaging the trees and ensure that only mature fruit enters the production chain.
Key objectives:
– Maximum bean quality
– Uniform fermentation
– Consistent flavor development
– Reduced defect rates
3. Pod Opening and Bean Extraction
After harvesting, pods are opened manually, and the fresh cocoa beans are extracted together with their natural pulp.
At this stage, all damaged, diseased, or defective beans are removed to maintain high-quality standards.
4. Controlled Fermentation
Fermentation is one of the most important steps in cocoa production.
Beans are carefully fermented in wooden boxes or designated fermentation systems for several days under controlled conditions.
Benefits of proper fermentation:
– Development of chocolate flavor precursors
– Reduction of bitterness and astringency
– Improvement of aroma complexity
– Better bean color and uniformity
Our fermentation protocols are designed to meet the expectations of specialty chocolate manufacturers worldwide.
5. Natural Drying
Following fermentation, cocoa beans are dried slowly under controlled conditions to achieve the ideal moisture content.
The drying process helps:
– Preserve flavor quality
– Prevent mold development
– Improve storage stability
– Meet export specifications
Moisture levels are continuously monitored to ensure compliance with international quality requirements.
6. Cleaning and Quality Selection
Before export preparation, beans undergo a rigorous quality assessment process.
Our quality control includes:
– Moisture analysis
– Defect count inspection
– Foreign material removal
– Visual and sensory evaluation
Each lot is classified according to its grade and intended market.
7. Packaging
Once approved, cocoa beans are packed in export-grade bags suitable for international transportation.
Packaging options may include:
– Traditional jute bags
– Poly-lined moisture-protection bags
– Customized export packaging
Each package is properly labeled to maintain identification, handling accuracy, and traceability.
8. Storage and Logistics
Prior to shipment, cocoa is stored in clean, dry, and well-ventilated facilities designed to protect bean quality.
Our logistics team coordinates: container loading, quality inspections, export documentation, freight coordination, port delivery.
This ensures safe handling and on-time delivery to customers worldwide.
