Our Origin

Cameroon sourcing, shaped by buyer requirements.

Cameroonian cacao and green coffee are explored against buyer requirements. Krispy coordinates the commercial brief with Diamex Group International's work at origin, including sourcing context in the Southwest Region.

Diamex at origin

Diamex coordinates producer relationships, sourcing and aggregation, post-harvest and quality information, storage and export preparation, local logistics and supporting documents in Cameroon. Krispy brings the buyer's product, grade, use, quantity and schedule into that discussion. The region and lot are identified for the individual offer.

From producer to international buyer

These are the physical stages and responsibilities to establish for an offer. Diamex coordinates with producers and local operating partners; Krispy connects that information with the buyer. The parties, processing and handling arrangements vary by product and lot, rather than every operation being performed by Diamex itself.

  1. 01

    Producers and sourcing

    Identify the producing area, available producer or group information and the sourcing relationships relevant to the offer.

  2. 02

    Harvest and collection

  3. 03

    Confirm cacao fermentation or the applicable coffee processing method and the parties involved.

  4. 04

    Drying and quality assessment

    Review drying, handling and available physical-quality information; agree any additional assessment needed.

  5. 05

    Aggregation and storage

    Identify how material is brought together, recorded and stored, and how the offered lot is distinguished.

  6. 06

    Export preparation and shipment

    Agree packaging, local logistics, supporting documents and shipment responsibilities for the delivery basis.

  7. 07

    International buyer

    Connect the offered lot and shipment information with the buyer through Krispy's commercial and delivery communication.

Regional sourcing and sample arrangements

Sourcing in Cameroon, including the Southwest Region, is shaped by the quality, quantity, schedule and commercial terms of the buyer's requirement. Regional selection and representative samples are discussed individually. We agree sample availability, timing and the physical or sensory information needed to review the relevant region and lot.

Developing a regional portfolio

We intend to develop a portfolio with individually identified regional origins, supported by sample-specific origin, physical and sensory information. This is planned development, with individual origins and information to be established as sourcing relationships develop.
