Building A Nursery

We are not adding to our plantation of 120,000 cocoa trees this year. However, we are making a nursery of 30,000 seedlings to help small farmers. Many small farmers want to either expand their cocoa farms or make new ones but they can’t afford seedlings. We are giving them seedlings and providing training. They will repay us when they sell their cocoa years from now. We’ve had so much more demand than we can afford to supply. Hard to believe that some organizations are receiving millions of dollars to provide seedlings to farmers. None of the farmers we’ve spoken to have received any assistance nor do they know who has received this assistance. They are aware that these organizations are receiving money to provide help but they know of no farmers who have been beneficiaries.
