Cocoa products
MOQ: 1 containerCocoa Bean Shells
Our flagship export — cleaned, low-moisture shells for energy, feed and soil.
Shells are the husks separated from the kernel during winnowing. Our flagship export is cleaned, screened and dried to a low, stable moisture so it burns evenly, stores safely and handles cleanly through augers and dosing lines.
Supplied in bulk or bagged for biomass plants, feed mills, mulch blenders and brewers — in full containers only.
Background & commercial significance
For decades shells were treated as factory waste. As energy costs rose and circular production spread, cocoa shells became a traded biomass fuel and soil input: fibrous, residual cocoa aroma, and available wherever beans are winnowed at scale.
General commodity information below is educational. HB33 lot-specific details are confirmed per inquiry.
Common uses & applications
- Biomass fuel — Pellets and direct firing for boilers, kilns and renewable plants.
- Animal feed — Fibre ingredient for ruminant rations within regulated inclusion rates.
- Mulch & soil — Decorative, cocoa-scented mulch and compost feedstock.
- Brewing & extraction — Cocoa-shell tea, brewing adjuncts and theobromine recovery streams.

- Ground or pellet-grade preparation available for contracted volumes.
- Container stuffing supervised with weight tickets per lot.
