Introduction
When you bite into a rich chocolate bar or sip a velvety hot cocoa, chances are the story behind that flavour starts in one place: the Ivory Coast.
As the world’s largest cocoa producer, this West African country is more than a supplier — it’s the heartbeat of the global chocolate industry. At Nature Commodities, we work directly with farming cooperatives in the Ivory Coast to bring you premium cocoa beans, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, and cocoa liquor, sourced with care, ethics, and sustainability in mind.
Let’s dive into why Ivory Coast cocoa is so essential — and how you can experience it in its purest form.
Why Ivory Coast?
Ivory Coast (Côte d’Ivoire) accounts for more than 40% of the world's cocoa supply — but the country’s importance goes far beyond volume.
It’s about flavour, tradition, and craft.
Grown in the humid, tropical climates of the country's southern regions, Ivorian cocoa is:
Naturally high in cocoa butter content
Known for its deep, earthy, and slightly fruity flavour
Ideal for chocolate, baking, cosmetics, and wellness products
The country's farmers have spent generations perfecting the art of cocoa cultivation — from fermentation and drying to harvest timing and soil care.
The Products We Offer
At Nature Commodities, our Ivory Coast cocoa range includes:
