At Agrofin – Hcda. La Bella, we approach certification not as a commercial requirement, but as a integrated technical management system which structures, controls, and validates each phase of our operation. In the context of the global cocoa market, where much of the supply does not fully comply with verifiable standards of quality, sustainability, and safety, our production model is distinguished by operating under regulatory frameworks and management systems that very few producers fully and consistently implement.

In the post-harvest stage we implement and certify:
The strict application of GMP and HACCP, along with the standardization of operating procedures, allows us to obtain defined, consistent and repeatable cocoa profilesHighly valued by premium chocolatiers. Each stage of the process is executed under validated and monitored technical protocols, which include the receiving raw materials, he controlled fermentation, he presecado, he drying, he classified, he bagged, he heavy, he labeled and the storage.
Strict adherence to these procedures reduces process variability, prevents contamination, and ensures physical, chemical and sensory integrity of the grain, a level of control that few cocoa origins manage to maintain systematically.
In the agro-industrial phase, we have implemented:
Our emphasis in agribusiness is focused on the production of high-quality semi-finished cocoa products, oriented towards the premium chocolate industrySpecifically: cocoa nibs, cocoa liquor, cocoa butter and cocoa powderThese products are developed under controlled, traceable processes and aligned with the technical and sensory requirements of fine chocolate manufacturers and high value-added brands.
Additionally, the following is planned: implementation of FSSC 22000 by 2027This will allow the consolidation of an industrial-level food safety system, recognized globally by the most demanding markets.
The development of this agro-industry has a direct impact on the local job creation and added value within the Zapallo ComplexStrengthening the territorial economy, reducing dependence on raw materials without processing, and promoting a sustainable and competitive rural development model.
We operate under management systems and certifications that cover the entire production chain. We work in accordance with regulations, technical standards, and certified processes that guarantee quality, safety, and traceability.
