The Cocoa Industry Board, established in 1957, was a statutory body responsible for the regulation and promotion of Jamaica's cocoa industry. Its core functions included marketing Jamaica's fine-flavored cocoa internationally, promoting cocoa cultivation among farmers, providing technical support, purchasing and processing wet cocoa beans, and selling dried fermented beans. Processing was conducted at fermentaries located in Hanover, Clarendon, St. Mary, and Kingston, with recent operations centered in Clarendon and St. Mary.
 
In 2018, the Cocoa Industry Board was integrated into the Jamaica Agricultural Commodities Regulatory Authority (JACRA), a move aimed at streamlining the regulation of Jamaica's agricultural commodities. JACRA now oversees the regulation, promotion, standardization, and development of the cocoa industry, along with coffee, coconut, and spices.
 
JACRA's services encompass licensing and monitoring of regulated commodities, commodity development facilitation, certification, cess administration, and training and advisory services. The authority plays a pivotal role in ensuring the quality and international competitiveness of Jamaica's agricultural exports.
 
For stakeholders seeking information or services related to cocoa production and export in Jamaica, JACRA serves as the primary regulatory body, continuing the legacy and functions of the former Cocoa Industry Board
