Why Indonesia

The origin advantage

Indonesia is the world's third-largest cocoa producer, and Sulawesi alone accounts for the majority of national output. The island's export infrastructure runs through Makassar, one of the busiest ports in eastern Indonesia, keeping lead times short and shipping options flexible for processors ordering by the container.
