I'm from the Island of Samoa in the South pacific and you are most welcomed to visit our farms. Not sure if we are under the Fair Trade agreement status, but we sell our own cocoa beans as well as buy from local farmers on the Island. We are a new established exporting business and currently looking at exporting our beans to Australia and New Zealand. We can send you samples of dried cocoa beans from Samoa if you want. My email is premiumcocoaenterprise@gmail if you want more info on us.
Hope this was helpful to you.
