Cocoa Production Cost Breakup By Conventional Agricultural Processes

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of cocoa production by conventional agricultural processes. Cocoa is an organic product obtained from cocoa tree. Initially, cocoa beans from the ripened cocoa pods are harvested from the tree, after maturity. The pods are then processed producing the wet beans inside them. The wet beans are then fermented, dried, and cleaned to produce cocoa for commercial operations.

Top Producers of Cocoa

  • Flavorchem Corp.
  • Avanschem
  • Briofeed Private Limited
  • Forbes Chocolate
  • GLCC Co.

Feedstock for Cocoa

Cocoa is a natural product obtained from cocoa tree (obtained from cocoa bean, that serves as its primary feedstock). The procurement of cocoa is directly dependent upon several factors including the weather conditions, harvesting and availability of cocoa bean (for cocoa plant production and ultimately cocoa production), along with the supply chain stability and market prices of cocoa etc. Moreover, factors including the regional availability of cocoa (covering Switzerland, Belgium, Germany etc.), as well as demand observed for cocoa in the food, confectionary and beverages industries, are some of the crucial factors that impact its procurement across the globe. Similarly, other factors such as the trade, logistics, transportation of cocoa across the borders, governmental policies and socioeconomic conditions altogether influence its procurement.
