COCOA Preshipment Surveys:
For the past eight years, DPS AFRICA has provided cocoa bean prevention services to the international insurance, brokerage, and export markets. As we embark on our 8th campaign, we have monitored nearly 3 million tons of cocoa beans, both in bags and in bulk, shipped via vessels and containers, ensuring they arrive at their destination in good condition.
In 10 African countries, we have established a rigorous control procedure that combines punctuality, expertise, perseverance, condensation prevention methods, and determination. We’ve also developed customized tools that allow us to communicate real-time information to our clients, whether it's for 10 containers or 15,000 during the peak season. Thanks to these practices, our clients are pleased to see a significant reduction in their loss ratio.
We operate in the following countries:
- Ivory Coast
- Nigeria
- Cameroon
- Uganda
- Kenya
- Togo
- Benin
- Liberia
- Guinea
- Sierra Leone
What sets DPS AFRICA apart is our ability to cover both the West and East coasts of Africa, maintaining the same high standards and internal processes across the region. We have dozens of agents in various ports, ready to validate containers, carefully inspect the beans, tally, control stuffing, install liners, and respond immediately to any operational issues—ensuring our clients are informed in real time.
Thanks to our global presence, we can also monitor thousands of metric tons in Latin America and address any remaining damage upon arrival at the destination!
