Import Cocoa Beans — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in United States

These cocoa beans originate from Nigeria and are offered by Jorazi Business Lounge Inc. as a bulk commodity for international buyers. The physical specifications are flexible based on buyer requirements, but standard trade parameters include a bean count of 300 for the main crop, with impurities capped at a maximum of 2%, moisture at a maximum of 10%, total defective beans at 4%, and total mould at 3%. Trial orders start at 20 metric tonnes, equivalent to one 20 ft container load, with shipping handled under FOB or CIF terms.

The beans are typically graded for export markets, where Nigerian cocoa is recognised for its strong aromatic profile and moderate acidity, suitable for both bulk cocoa liquor production and specialty chocolate applications. Standard industry practice for West African cocoa includes fermentation times of 5 to 7 days, which develops the precursor compounds for flavour development. Buyers often specify additional parameters such as cut test results, free fatty acid content, and fat content, which are critical for determining processing yield and final product quality.

Primary importers include chocolate manufacturers, cocoa processors, and trading houses sourcing for industrial use. Logistics are coordinated from the port of Lagos, Nigeria, with a typical shipping time of 15 to 25 days after confirmation of a 100% irrevocable and confirmed letter of credit or TT payment. The supplier provides SGS inspection and standard shipping documents, including a certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, and fumigation certificate, ensuring compliance with international import regulations.

Jorazi Business Lounge Inc. is based in Frederick, Maryland, United States, and operates as a trading entity facilitating the export of Nigerian cocoa beans to international buyers. The company’s profile indicates a harbor trust tier, reflecting a baseline level of verification, though its response rate and average response time are currently not available, suggesting buyers should confirm availability and terms directly with the supplier.

The supplier specialises in connecting buyers with bulk agricultural commodities, with cocoa beans as a primary offering. While the listing does not provide details on the company’s history, production capacity, or client base, it confirms the ability to handle trial orders of 20 metric tonnes and provides standard trade documentation, including SGS inspection certificates and phytosanitary certificates, to support customs clearance and quality assurance.
