About our Cocoa

Klak Klak Business Systems (KKBS) has made significant strides in the cocoa industry by acquiring raw cocoa beans from Ikom in Cross River.

This region is known for producing high-quality cocoa, and KKBS is committed to sourcing from other notable states such as Ondo, Ekiti, Edo, Osun, Ogun, and Nasarawa, where large cocoa beans are also abundant. The cocoa season runs from September to December each year, providing a critical window for procurement.

During the main season, KKBS concentrates on procurement to ensure a consistent supply of dry and high-quality cocoa beans for both local and international partners.

Procurement Strategy

The company has the capacity to supply up to 850,000 tons of cocoa beans in a season. This impressive volume is supported by the following quality ratings:

KKBS's robust supply chain management practices ensure that they maintain high standards throughout the procurement process. By focusing on quality and sustainability, KKBS not only meets market demands but also contributes positively to the local economy by supporting farmers.

Challenges in the Cocoa Supply Chain

Despite the opportunities in the cocoa market, challenges persist. Many cocoa farmers operate on small plots of land and struggle with poverty due to inadequate compensation for their produce.

This situation often leads to unethical practices that can harm the sustainability of the cocoa supply chain. KKBS recognizes these challenges and strives to work with local buying agents (LBAs) who prioritize fair treatment of farmers.

The company also emphasizes transparency and traceability in its operations. By ensuring that all cocoa beans are sourced responsibly, KKBS aligns with global standards and enhances its reputation among international buyers.

This commitment is essential as European markets increasingly demand compliance with sustainability regulations and ethical sourcing practices.

Market Trends

The global demand for premium cocoa products continues to rise, driven by trends such as craft chocolate and single-origin offerings. These products highlight unique flavor profiles and ethical sourcing, appealing to consumers who prioritize quality over price.

KKBS is well-positioned to capitalize on these trends by supplying high-quality cocoa beans that meet stringent international standards. In addition to traditional markets, KKBS is exploring opportunities in emerging markets where demand for chocolate products is growing.

By diversifying its customer base and enhancing product offerings, KKBS aims to strengthen its market position.

Sustainability Efforts

Sustainability is at the heart of KKBS's operations. The company actively engages in initiatives that promote environmentally friendly practices among farmers. This includes supporting agroforestry systems that enhance biodiversity and reduce deforestation risks associated with cocoa farming.

By investing in sustainable agriculture, KKBS helps ensure the long-term viability of the cocoa industry while improving farmers' livelihoods.

Furthermore, KKBS collaborates with organizations focused on social responsibility within the cocoa sector. These partnerships aim to improve farmers' access to resources and training, enabling them to adopt better farming practices that increase yield and quality.

Klak Klak Business Systems stands out as a leader in Nigeria's cocoa industry through its commitment to quality procurement, sustainable practices, and support for local farmers.

By addressing challenges within the supply chain and aligning with global market trends, KKBS not only enhances its business prospects but also contributes positively to the communities it serves.

As the demand for high-quality cocoa continues to grow, KKBS is poised for success in both local and international markets.
