What Are Cocoa Moisture Meters?

A cocoa moisture meter is a specialized instrument that measures the percentage of water content in cocoa beans. These meters are critical for ensuring that beans are harvested, stored, and sold at optimal moisture levels. Proper moisture measurement prevents:

• Mold growth: Cocoa beans stored at high moisture levels (>8%) are prone to fungal infections.

• Weight loss: Over-drying beans reduces market weight and profitability.

• Quality degradation: Incorrect moisture affects flavor and color, leading to lower prices.

• Spoilage during transport: Moisture imbalance during storage or shipment can cause fermentation issues.

Modern cocoa moisture meters use digital technology and are easy to use, giving farmers and traders precise readings in seconds.
