Stop Selling Raw Beans. Start Building Your Chocolate Brand.

Are you a cocoa grower stuck with fluctuating bean prices? An entrepreneur inspired to launch PNG-made chocolate? This Cocoa Processing Course gives you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to transform your cocoa into branded, value-added products that fetch premium prices.

Cocoa is one of PNG’s most valuable export crops, yet most producers earn only from unprocessed beans. This course teaches you to capture more of the value chain—producing chocolate, cocoa butter, powder, and specialty products that open doors to local supermarkets and global markets alike.

This Course Is Your Pathway to Success:

🛠️ Skill Development: Hands-on training in cocoa fermentation, drying, roasting, grinding, and chocolate making.
💰 Income Diversification: Create multiple income streams from a single cocoa tree.
🌱 Value Retention: Keep more profits in your community by moving up the value chain.
📈 Business Growth: Build a recognized cocoa brand with export potential.

What You Will Learn:

Product Transformation: How to professionally process cocoa into:
– Cocoa Liquor (paste for chocolate making).
– Cocoa Butter (cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chocolate).
– Cocoa Powder (for baking and beverages).
– Chocolate Products (bars, drinking chocolate, cocoa nibs).
– Value-Added Goods (chocolate-coated snacks, spreads, cosmetics).
Quality & Standards: Master fermentation, hygiene, packaging, and labeling standards to meet domestic and export demand.
Costing & Pricing: Learn production costing and pricing strategies for both local and international markets.
