At DEKS CACAO, sourcing is more than a supply process—it’s the foundation of our commitment to quality, sustainability, and integrity. Our cocoa sourcing model is built on direct relationships with local farmers and cooperatives across Sierra Leone’s major cocoa-growing regions. This approach allows us to deliver traceable, high-quality cocoa products while promoting fair trade and economic empowerment.
Whether you're a chocolate manufacturer, wholesaler, or trading company, sourcing your cocoa from DEKS CACAO means partnering with a company that values people, quality, and sustainability.
We register and verify each farmer or cooperative in our network to ensure full traceability.
Our agronomists and sourcing teams provide training on sustainable farming, disease control, fermentation methods, and post-harvest handling.
During the harvest season, we buy wet or dried beans directly from registered farmers, ensuring immediate payment and fair pricing.
Beans are assessed for moisture, fermentation level, mold, and physical defects before entering our supply chain.
Each batch is recorded and tagged for full traceability from farm to final shipment.
We believe great cocoa begins at the farm. That’s why our sourcing focuses on:
Direct trade with farmers and cooperatives
Transparent supply chains
Fair pricing and ethical treatment
Support for sustainable and organic practices
Through long-term partnerships and community engagement, we ensure that every bean we source reflects both quality and social responsibility.
Our cocoa is sourced from Sierra Leone’s rich agricultural zones, particularly:
Kailahun District
Kenema Region
Bo and Pujehun
These regions are known for their fertile soil, ideal climate, and generations of cocoa-growing expertise. We work hand-in-hand with smallholder farmers to help them implement best practices in harvesting, fermentation, and drying.
DEKS CACAO is dedicated to responsible sourcing that benefits both the environment and farming communities. Our ethical sourcing policies include:
Zero tolerance for child labor
Support for women-led farming groups
Investment in farmer education and welfare
Promotion of agroforestry and reforestation programs
We believe sustainable sourcing strengthens both the supply chain and the communities that support it.
The choice of quality, responsible cocoa. Respect for the environment of the men and women involved in its development.
