Cameroon is one of Africa's major cocoa-producing countries, with abundant cocoa bean resources. In recent years, the local government and enterprises have been actively promoting the value-added processing of agricultural products such as rice, palm oil, and cocoa, aiming to transform raw materials into semi-finished or finished products for domestic consumption and export.

Our customer is a local agricultural processing company committed to increasing the value of Cameroon's agricultural products through local processing. After evaluating the cocoa market, the company decided to invest in a cocoa powder production project while planning to expand into chocolate paste production in the future.

Customer Requirements

The customer required a complete cocoa powder processing solution that could:

• Produce high-quality cocoa powder for the local and export markets.
• Ensure stable production with easy operation and maintenance.
• Provide reliable product quality suitable for commercial sales.
• Leave room for future expansion into chocolate paste production.

After detailed technical discussions and production planning, GELGOOG recommended a 300 kg/h cocoa powder processing line, tailored to the customer's production goals and future development plans.
