Impact

Did you know there is more than cocoa beans? In collaboration with the start-up Koa, we make use of the white pulp of the cocoa fruit to pay an extra income to cocoa farmers. This income is paid directly to the smallholders, without going through middlemen. Koa pays the farmers on the same day and via mobile money. This ensures that the money is paid directly while allowing you to trace the payments back to the origin.

What makes the difference?

At Oberweis, we are committed to creating value in our products. In our search for the best cocoa, we always favour production from identifiable, organoleptically interesting value chains within a preserved ecosystem.
 
By buying cocoa as directly as possible, we strive to reduce the number of intermediaries in the chain. We believe that the pastry of tomorrow should be reasonably indulgent, and naturally good. Thus, let's do it.

As the processing site is mobile, Koa is able to process the cocoa fruits next to the cocoa farms, even in remote areas.
Solar power also makes it possible to immediately cool the fresh juice to guarantee the best quality. This is the first step of our value chain, in the heart of the tropical rainforest.

Mobile Processing

Fruit extraction

The fresh cocoa fruit juice is brought to the Koa factory in Assin Akrofuom for final processing. Within just three hours, Koa Pure is pasteurised, packaged and ready to be shipped.

Koa Factory

Final processing

The pallets with juice are brought to the harbour in Tema in Ghana where it's loaded onto a freighter to be shipped to Europe.

Shipping

Export

The juice arrives by boat at the port of Rotterdam where it's loaded onto a truck – or sometimes also onto another boat that travels south along the Rhine river.

Arrival in Europe

Import

The cocoa fruit juice is&nbsp;stored in a cooled facility in Steisslingen, Germany, before being transported to Oberweis.

Storage

Arrived in Luxembourg, we use cocoa fruit juice for our Koa'O collection and create the taste of the exception.
