2024 Partner Report: ROIG
ROIG
Dominican Republic
In the super competitive 2024 cacao market, Taza faced a crisis of ensuring cacao supply for our factory. We purchased organic beans from Dominican processor Roig Agro-Cacao for the first time ever just to ensure we could keep the mills turning in the beginning half of the year. Roig is an aggregator/processor in San Francisco de Macoris, very near ÖKO Caribe, another partner of ours in the region. However, this particular cacao had been imported years earlier during a very different market, and we were able to purchase it from our import partner, Atlantic Cocoa, as a stop-gap measure.
-- Alex Whitmore, Taza CEO
*The price paid reflects the fact that this cacao was originally purchased by Atlantic Cacao in 2021, when cocoa was trading at a much lower price.
