Cocoa Shells (Husk) from Cameroon

Cocoa shells — also called cocoa husk — are the outer skin of the cocoa bean, separated during the winnowing stage of processing. Far from being a waste material, cocoa shells have genuine commercial value across four distinct market sectors.

The shells contain theobromine, dietary fibre, and natural NPK minerals — making them functionally relevant to animal feed formulators, organic fertiliser producers, horticulturalists, and emerging functional food and beverage companies.

Animal Feed

High-fibre ruminant feed for cattle, sheep & goats at controlled inclusion rates.

Organic Fertiliser

Natural soil amendment with ~2.7% nitrogen and ~2.6% potassium.

Garden Mulch

Retains moisture, suppresses weeds, improves soil as it decomposes.

Functional Food & Tea

Cocoa shell tea ingredient — naturally low caffeine with theobromine.

Why Cameroonian Cocoa Powder & Butter?

Cameroon is one of Africa’s leading cocoa-producing nations. BV Cocoa Products processes cocoa close to the source — including pressing cocoa butter and milling cocoa powder directly in Cameroon — preserving quality, enabling origin traceability, and reducing supply chain length for international buyers.

Cameroonian cocoa has a distinctive fat profile and flavour character valued by European and North American manufacturers. Our cocoa butter’s natural triglyceride composition and our powder’s consistent colour and pH make them dependable inputs for high-volume manufacturing.
