Hi All. I am a complete newbie and have not yet scratched the surface insofar as browsing this forum is concerned. I am looking to purchase either seedlings, cuttings or seeds for each of the major varieties of Cocoa. I was approached by a Village on Tanzania who wish to embark on a commercial cocoa farm project. My responsibility will be to assist with resource management and inter cropping solutions. Can anyone please point me in the right direction. Thanks
Hi Square9, You might contact Christopher Nesbitt at the Maya Mountain Research Farm regarding cocoa farming. He's helped the Maya Mountain Cacao Ltd get up and running and he is a longtime Permaculturist operating out of Belize. Best of luck! Let us know how it works out for you.
Always best to source locally as seed viability is very short . https://askinosie.com/learn/origins/mababu-tanzania.html
Thank-you I will try to make contact and see where we can purchase either seedlings or seeds. Best regards
