Continaf B.V.

Continaf B.V.(Continentale en Afrikaanse Handelsvereniging) is one of the world’s best known organizations active in cocoa origination, procurement and trading. Founded in the year 1930, Continaf has gained experience in soft commodities for many years. Our staff is a strong mix of professionals with varied expertise and different cultural and professional backgrounds. Continaf is part of Amtrada Holding B.V., a Dutch group of companies in origination, procurement and trading of cocoa, coffee and tree nuts. Our headquarters are located in the historical centre of Amsterdam, from which we trade and control the supply of all the cocoa from our sourcing companies in Africa and Asia. This unique structure allows the operating companies in origin to fully focus on sourcing, processing and shipping the cocoa exclusively to Continaf. Worldwide, over 400 people are employed by Continaf and its sourcing companies. We purchase cocoa in Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon and Indonesia as well as in some smaller cocoa growing countries. Our clients are cocoa grinding industries and chocolate manufacturing industries, located all over the world. Continaf distinguishes itself through control of the quality of the procured cocoa in the origins. Over the years Continaf has optimized its processes, keeping the chain between farmers and the cocoa industry as short as possible. We support the industries in the cocoa supply chain in managing all risks involved.
