We are an agrobusiness company dedicated to the production and integrated commercialization of fine dry bean cacao of Colombian origin.

The Colombian Cacao Company and its brand Umau Cacao was born with the objective of providing high quality Colombian cacao, with special varieties accompanied by added value elements that allow told stories that supports the value proposition from UMAU CACAO to the message that reaches the final consumer in the finished product, providing differentiation to small and medium chocolate producers due to the lack of supply in the market and its high competitiveness.

This is how our main commitment is social and environmental sustainability, which allows us to establish strategic differences with respect to the traditional business model of cacao production and marketing.
These differences will allow in accounts sensitive to the generation of value, the development of activities that leave a permanent mark on the communities of UMAU cacao territories and their environment.

Thereby we want to "Sow a better world" through the production and commercialization of fine cacao and origin, where the main strategy is "RESILENT Production for CONSCIOUS consumption", which is based on 4 main focuses of action: agricultural production, progress and social, environmental and commercial welfare.

We base our strategy on three pillars: production of fine and of origin cocoa, Integrated production and centralized post-harvest plant; CCC is committed to sustainable development, generating positive impact and social, economic and environmental balance.

Our operation is developed as follows: we have an administrative headquarters in the city of Medellín and a plantation called Hacienda Monteoscuro, in the department of Santander, municipality of Cimitarra, with 1550 Ha., of which we have 705 Ha. cacao planted. This year we are planning to plant about 150 more hectares to have a total of 855 Ha. of cacao. Hacienda Monteoscuro sustains its production in an agroforestry system that combines cacao trees, timber trees that provide shade, and the conservation of areas of native forest species. This system is strengthened with the establishment of 250 hectares of a forest monoculture.

The development of the plantation has been carried out with a social intervention in the communities of the area of influence, becoming the main source of employment for nine communities in the region. It is estimated to exceed 950 tons of dry cacao by 2021, supported by an infrastructure in accordance with the company's production process. We seek to position the CCC and its brand Umau Cacao as the main producer and marketer of fine and origin cocoa in the country.

In company´s commercial strategy we have a model that we call "Productive Territories", in which we have post-harvest centers where we process the cacao, purchased with the best guarantees from small producers. In addition, we seek to train them in best practices for the development of their plantations and that they can respond with homogeneity and traceability. The "Productive Territories" guarantee us special cocoas from different origins that enrich the portfolio and give the customer a variety of unique profiles and flavors.
