Frequently Asked Questions

What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 300 kg (approx. 660 lbs). This allows us to ensure competitive pricing and efficient logistics for our wholesale partners. If your project has unique requirements, please contact us to discuss potential solutions.

Do you offer certified organic cacao beans?
Yes. We have a dedicated line of USDA Organic certified cacao. Quality and adherence to international standards are paramount to us. Please specify your certification requirements when you request a quote.

How can I request a sample?
We are happy to provide samples to potential wholesale clients. The best way to start is by filling out our quote request form and mentioning your interest in a sample. A regional representative will contact you to coordinate the details.

What are the typical shipping times to the USA or Europe?
Shipping times vary by final destination and carrier schedules. As a general guide, ocean freight from the Dominican Republic typically takes 2–4 weeks to major ports in the USA and Europe. We will provide a precise timeline once your order is confirmed.

Why choose Dominican cocoa vs. West Africa?
Flavor (Sabor)
Dominican: More complex, fine-flavor profiles (fruity, floral, nutty) in selected lots.
West Africa: Classic cocoa-forward; fine-flavor pockets via specialty programs.
Traceability (Trazabilidad)
Dominican: Lot-to-lot traceability direct from farm/co-op; single-estate options available.
West Africa: Often aggregated; enhanced traceability on selected certified/specialty programs.
Shipping to U.S. (Tiempos de Envío)
Dominican: Proximity advantage—shorter transit to U.S. East Coast and faster LCL windows.
West Africa: Longer Atlantic routes; timelines depend on port and carrier schedules.
Note: Actual outcomes vary by supplier, season, and program.
