Cocoa beans are the fruit of the cocoa tree. There are about 20-40 seeds in each cocoa bean. After the cocoa fruit is picked, the cocoa pods need to be opened. However, the cocoa pods are thicker in texture and are not so easy to open. The cocoa pod cutting machine can help open the cocoa pods quickly.
Main distribution areas for growing cocoa beans
Cocoa beans are the main raw material for processing chocolate. Countries with more cocoa beans are Indonesia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Brazil, Ecuador, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Peru, and Côte d’Ivoire, of which Côte d’Ivoire’s total cocoa production accounts for the world’s largest. About 30% of the cocoa of companies like Nestlé and Cadbury comes mainly from Côte d’Ivoire. The cocoa industry alone accounts for two-thirds of Côte d’Ivoire’s total trade revenue.
Cocoa pod cutting machine customer brief introduction
The customer who bought the cocoa pod splitting machine is a farmer who grows cocoa beans and uses them himself after purchasing them. Because the customer’s cocoa beans planting area is relatively large, and cocoa beans ripen twice a year, the output is also relatively high. The customer currently only sells cocoa beans and has not yet been involved in the deep processing of the cocoa industry. So just buy a cocoa pod opener. After negotiation, the customer intends to purchase two cocoa pod opening machines first.
He would also like to know about our other cocoa processing machines, such as the cocoa powder line. The customer said that in the future, factories for cocoa beans-related industries will be opened. He will contact us if necessary.
