Dear all,

I am new to you but you're not to me since I've been reading this forum for a couple of weeks now. So : please to meet you!

With my wife we are planning to open a bean to bar production in France in 2017, after we discovered cacao in Colombia where we are staying right now. The whole BtB world is new to us.

I have thousands of questions about machines, recipes, training, law, values etc. But let's start with one that, to what I read in this forum, has'nt been discussed recently. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

For those who produce BtB chocolate in countries without cacao production, where do you buy your beans ? Do you deal directly with producers (individuals? Cooperatives? Other organizations?) ? Do you deal with a cacao trader ? Do you buy in common with other buyers in your area ? 

And if you have any contact in Colombia, it would be very usefull. 

All your recommandations and feedbacks are welcome !

Thank you

Aurelien

"Good suggestion! We have a chocolate shop. I think the aluminum foil +paper box packaging would be very suitable for us."
