For farmers & cooperatives
From harvest to a lot buyers can understand
Your work creates the quality. CocoaCraft provides the infrastructure to document it, demonstrate it, and share the right information with buyers.

What you can do with CocoaCraft
For farms and cooperatives building an origin record, following post-harvest work and preparing cacao for buyer conversations.
Keep the work at origin connected
Begin with one harvest or producer lot and build a record that explains how it was handled.
Your own farm or cooperative workspace
Keep your team’s Field work under your organization’s control. Give active members the recording or viewing access appropriate to their job.
Fermentation and post-harvest context
Plan fermentation work and record applicable temperature, pH, turns and observations. Keep the actual batch history separate from process targets and recommendations.
Lot identity and quality information
Maintain clear lot identifiers and the origin, processing and measured quality information a buyer needs to understand the cacao.
A route to a supplier offer
When you are ready to offer cacao, prepare the separate supplier source record and marketplace profile. Finalize a source revision before publishing its selected details in a listing.
Bring your cacao to market
Open the journey for a larger view and a readable guide to each step.
Illustrative example
A cooperative prepares a harvest for buyer discussions
The team wants a useful process history at origin and a clear quality summary it can present to potential buyers.
Step 1
Identify the work
Keep the harvest, producer lot and process-batch identity clear as the team records its work.
Step 2
Record actual observations
Capture the relevant fermentation and quality measurements rather than substituting a target or recommendation for a measured result.
Step 3
Prepare the information to share
Create a supplier source record and listing when ready. Choose selected evidence for sharing rather than opening the private farm workspace.
What you finish with: A private record of origin-side work and a separate, deliberate quality story for the marketplace.
Who records, shares and decides?
Your Field workspace stays private
Only authorized members access its private process records. Buyer connections do not automatically share fermentation records.
The listing is a separate release
Prepare and finalize the supplier source record used for a marketplace offer. Publishing is a deliberate step.
Others make their own assessments
Auditors record independent findings where arranged, and buyers apply their own receiving and acceptance checks.

Put your first real record in CocoaCraft
Create an account for the role that fits you, then start with one useful record. Explore the public example first if you prefer.
Workspace tools require sign-in. Available modules depend on your workspace and access.
Questions before you start
Is my farm workspace owned by a buyer?
No. It belongs to your farm or cooperative. Membership and recording access are managed within that workspace.
Does connecting to a buyer expose my fermentation records?
No. Buyer connections and marketplace listings do not automatically open private Field records. The current Field release does not enable buyer sharing of fermentation records.
Does a Field batch automatically become a marketplace listing?
No. Field process records and supplier source-lot records are separate workflows. Prepare the supplier source record and finalized revision used for the offer.
Do recorded measurements mean the lot is certified?
No. They document what your team recorded. Independent inspection, certification and buyer acceptance are separate activities with their own responsibilities.
