Cocoa & Chocolate 

The discoverers of cocoa, the Mayans, named it Kak Kow, meaning “God Food.” At Cargill, we share the same passion for cocoa.

In Indonesia, our cocoa business started in 1995. We connect our deep cocoa knowledge with our broad food ingredient expertise and manage our supply chain from sourcing the beans at origin all the way through delivering our cocoa and chocolate products to our customers' doorsteps.

At our cocoa processing plant in Indonesia and chocolate plant in Singapore, we make cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, cocoa powders and chocolate for foodservice, food manufacturing and gourmet customers across the region.

Leveraging our global supply chain, we partner with customers on product development and risk management. Our Cocoa Development Centre in Indonesia and Chocolate Academy in Singapore are dedicated to driving innovation in the cocoa and chocolate space, enabling us to develop specialty solutions and products.

Sustainable and responsible sourcing practices

High-quality cocoa, grown in a sustainable way, is essential to the economies and the livelihoods of farming communities in cocoa growing countries, and for Cargill, our customers and consumers. This is why we are investing in, and supporting, activities to help cocoa farmers improve agricultural working practices and to deliver benefits to local communities.

In Indonesia, farmers produce the vast majority of cocoa beans. We actively support the sustainable development of Indonesia’s cocoa industry to benefit local farmers and make a difference in the local communities from which we source our cocoa.
