The headquarters of Cocoanect are based in Rotterdam, the largest port of Europe. Cocoanect’s management has more than 25 years of operational and commercial management experience in cocoa. The experienced trading team is supported by an office in Ivory Coast as well as representatives in Ecuador, Indonesia and Nigeria.
Cocoanect is part of the Count group of Companies. Count’s vision is to create value through its role as a leading multi commodity and renewables originator and distributor in global commodity and renewables trading and logistics. The company is active in several commodities other than cocoa, such as coffee and oil as well as in renewables, such as Used Cooking Oil.
