Rolling Into Efficiency: Finca Chocolat’s New Heavy-Duty Trailer
Is a trailer exciting? If you work on a farm, the answer is an enthusiastic “Yes!” This August, we took a big step forward in boosting efficiency at Finca Chocolat by contracting with a manufacturer in Northwest Belize to build a custom heavy-duty dump trailer.
While its primary use will be on the farm, this trailer will play a pivotal role in our cacao-buying operations for 2025. With its robust capacity, we’ll be able to haul four times the amount of cacao compared to 2024, significantly cutting down on trips and making our buying process more efficient and sustainable.
The trailer is set to arrive at Finca Chocolat by the end of November—just in time for the start of our cacao-purchasing season in December. Though we won’t be “dumping” cacao, the crew is sure to appreciate the convenience it brings for unloading other heavy items around the farm.
This new addition is a practical investment in our continued growth, ensuring we can better serve both our operations and our network of cacao farmers. Here’s to smoother hauls and even bigger strides forward!
