When it comes to crafting premium chocolate and cocoa-based products, it all starts with one key ingredient — the cocoa bean. But not just any cocoa bean. For chocolatiers, health brands, and natural food lovers around the world, the demand is clear: they want the best natural cocoa bean available. At Faustin Great Agro Services Limited, we’re proud to say that some of the finest beans come directly from Nigeria — and from our hands.
In this article, we’ll uncover the secret behind why our cocoa beans are considered among the best natural cocoa beans on the market and how Faustin Great Agro is redefining excellence, sustainability, and flavour — one bean at a time.
What Does "Natural" Cocoa Bean Really Mean?
Before diving into our process, let’s define what we mean by natural cocoa beans.
Natural cocoa beans are beans that have been grown, harvested, and processed without artificial additives, synthetic chemicals, or unnecessary refinement. They maintain their full nutritional profile and flavour characteristics, making them ideal for:
Bean-to-bar chocolate
Organic snacks and beverages
Nutritional supplements
Artisanal and health-conscious food brands
At Faustin Great Agro, our beans are 100% natural — grown with traditional methods, fermented naturally, and dried under the tropical sun of West Africa.
Why Nigeria Is a Hidden Gem for Natural Cocoa
While countries like Ghana and Ivory Coast often dominate the cocoa conversation, Nigeria is quickly becoming a top destination for natural cocoa bean sourcing — and for good reason.
Fertile soil and ideal climate: Nigeria’s cocoa-growing regions, like Ondo and Cross River, have the perfect conditions for cultivating high-quality cocoa.
Traditional farming practices: Many Nigerian farmers still use age-old, organic-inspired techniques that align with natural cocoa production.
Flavour diversity: Nigerian beans are known for their bold, earthy notes, often accompanied by subtle fruity or nutty undertones — perfect for craft chocolate makers.
At Faustin Great Agro, we’ve spent years building relationships with local farmers and cooperatives, refining our approach to deliver what many call the best natural cocoa bean from Nigeria.
The Faustin Great Agro Difference: How We Produce the Best Natural Cocoa Bean
So what truly sets our cocoa beans apart from the rest? It comes down to a meticulous process, values-driven farming, and an unbreakable commitment to quality.
1. Ethical, Smallholder Farming Partnerships
We work directly with smallholder cocoa farmers who have generational experience in cultivating cocoa. Rather than using aggressive chemicals or shortcuts, these farmers rely on:
Composting and natural fertilisers
Manual weeding and pest control
Shade-grown techniques for soil health
By providing fair pay, training, and resources, we empower our farmers to grow natural cocoa beans sustainably while improving their livelihoods.
2. Natural Fermentation and Drying
Post-harvest processes are where many cocoa beans lose their natural integrity. At Faustin Great Agro, we follow a fully natural post-harvest approach:
Fermentation: Our beans are fermented in wooden boxes for 5–7 days, allowing flavour precursors to develop fully.
Sun-Drying: Instead of industrial dryers, we use solar drying platforms. This preserves the antioxidants and ensures beans retain their robust flavour.
This hands-on approach ensures every bean meets international quality standards — without the need for chemical preservatives or artificial enhancers.
3. Zero Additives, Zero Compromises
Our cocoa beans are exactly what nature intended: raw, rich, and unrefined. We do not apply any synthetic coating, polish, or chemical preservatives during processing or packaging. That’s why our beans are ideal for manufacturers seeking clean-label ingredients and for chocolatiers committed to transparency.
