JG Garcia Dominican Cacao

JG Garcia Dominican Cacao is an exporter of certified organic single-origin Dominican cacao based in Vicentillo, El Seibo, operating since 2017. The company works directly with a network of 108 organic producers to supply fermented beans, sun-dried beans, and certified organic Hispaniola beans. They publish daily export prices tied to the NYSE cocoa futures settlement and offer delivery terms including EXW Vicentillo, FOB Rio Haina, and CIF destination port.

The business operates a processing plant in Vicentillo that handles fermentation, artificial and sun drying, cleaning, and bagging of cacao beans. Beans arrive within hours of harvest and are processed on a fixed schedule to ensure quality for bean-to-bar makers and industrial pressing applications. The company maintains MAYACERT organic certification for both its plant and its producer group, with current certificates available upon request.

Pricing is calculated daily by taking the latest NYSE cocoa futures settlement in USD per metric ton and adding a transparent quality differential for each lot. The company then applies the chosen incoterm (EXW, FOB, or CIF) and a volume rebate that decreases as orders increase from 10 MT upward. Customers can download a dated quotation after building their order by the kilo online.

The company sources its beans from approximately 108 organic cacao producers farming roughly 437 hectares around Vicentillo, El Seibo. This direct producer model allows them to trace every container to a specific farm, week, and drying yard, ensuring full transparency for buyers. The annual harvest from this network is approximately 1,050 MT per year.

Customers can choose from three main product lines: Hispaniola fermented beans for bean-to-bar makers, Sánchez sun-dried beans for industrial pressing, and certified organic Hispaniola beans from MAYACERT producers. Minimum order quantities vary by product, starting at 500 kg for the flagship fermented beans and 1,000 kg for the Sánchez grade.

The company is located at Km 19, Paraje El Rancho, San Francisco, Sector Vicentillo, Municipio El Seibo, República Dominicana. Office hours are Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 17:00 AST, and shipments are loaded at Rio Haina in 20' and 40' containers or collected at the plant in El Seibo.

The company was founded in 2017 by Ing. James García Torrente after a market study among local growers. It is structured as JG Garcia Dominican Cacao, SRL with a registered tax ID of RNC 132943309, and has grown to handle container and pallet volumes directly.

The company distinguishes itself by not acting as a broker; every container shipped is handled directly by the company. This allows them to provide specific details about the producer, harvest week, and drying yard for each lot, which is a key feature for their customers.

The website states that prices shown are indicative and indexed to NYSE cocoa futures, and they do not constitute a binding offer until a firm quote is provided. The company re-reads the NYSE settlement each morning to reissue differentials, ensuring the pricing reflects the current market conditions.

The company serves a wide range of buyers including bean-to-bar chocolate makers who need fermented beans and industrial processors who require consistent Sánchez-grade beans for pressing and powder production. The direct sourcing model is designed to meet the needs of those who value traceability and organic certification.

The company's mission is to establish itself worldwide as an exporter of the best-quality cacao while working hand in hand with producers to improve their future. Their vision includes consolidating as a leading company in quality and innovation across planting, harvest, and export, and opening markets beyond cacao.
