Cocoa Beans as a Commodity
Cocoa beans are a delicate agricultural product used in chocolate and food production. They need clean, dry and well ventilated transportation conditions to avoid contamination and keep quality during transit. Our hopper trailers provide the airflow, protection and unloading precision for bulk cocoa bean logistics.
Harvest and shipping windows vary by country of origin so responsiveness and fast turnaround is key to keeping cocoa fresh and market ready.
