What Maya Mountain Cacao Ltd does

Maya Mountain Cacao Ltd is a Belize-based for-profit company founded in 2010 that sources and supplies organic specialty cacao beans to premium and craft chocolate makers worldwide. The company operates a forest reserve agroforestry concession in Belize's Maya Golden Landscape, coordinating small-scale farmers in the Toledo and Stann Creek Districts to produce shade-grown cacao under methods that conserve forest cover and biodiversity. The core product is organic-certified specialty cacao, differentiated by its Maya Golden Landscape terroir and verified sustainable production practices.

The underlying operating model combines smallholder aggregation with conservation-aligned agriculture. Cacao is cultivated under shade within a forest reserve agroforestry system, then fermented, dried, and exported as specialty-grade beans. The company holds organic certification for its Toledo and Stann Creek District supply.

Revenue is generated through one-time wholesale sales of these cacao beans. Maya Mountain distributes exclusively through Uncommon Cacao's B2B wholesale platform, where it is featured as one of 18+ origin suppliers serving premium craft chocolate makers globally. There is no evidence of direct-to-maker sales, alternative channels, or pricing transparency beyond Uncommon Cacao's quote-based system. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Emily Stone and operates with 11-50 employees.
