160 Hectares of Cocoa in Bertoua, Cameroon
A cocoa programme built around planting records, block-level management, fermentation discipline, sun drying, traceability and serious buyer documentation.
What We Grow and How We Manage It
BnH Farms manages 160 hectares of cocoa from our base in Bertoua, Cameroon’s East Region. The programme is supported by 3 dedicated cocoa technicians, a unit head for field coordination, and seasonal harvest teams that scale to 70 to 100 workers during peak periods. Cocoa at this scale demands consistent attention: planting records by block, regular weeding and pruning cycles, selective pod harvesting, controlled fermentation, sun drying to verified moisture targets, storage management and batch-level documentation. This is the operational foundation behind every buyer inquiry we welcome.
Our Quality Process
| Stage | BnH Farms Approach |
|---|---|
| Selective harvesting | Harvest teams pick mature pods only, separate diseased or poor-quality beans, and record harvest batches by field block. Selective harvesting is the first and most important quality control point. |
| Fermentation | Beans are fermented using a documented method and schedule. Fermentation duration and turning frequency are recorded per batch. The verified method is published once confirmed by farm records. |
| Sun drying | Beans are sun-dried to a verified moisture target consistent with buyer and export requirements. Moisture readings are logged per batch and available upon request. |
| Storage | Dried cocoa is stored in clean, dry and ventilated conditions, protected from moisture, smoke, pests and contamination. Storage conditions are included in the quality log. |
| Batch records | Each batch record covers: harvest date, block source, fermentation start and end, drying start and end, moisture reading, defect count, storage date and buyer destination. |
| Traceability | The traceability system connects each batch to its field block, harvest date, post-harvest process and storage record. This forms the foundation for EUDR readiness and future certification. |
