A Brazilian guy decided to revolutionize cacao tree farming.
A Brazilian farmer is establishing a giant plantation for growing cacao trees in the state of Bahia. This will become the largest industry-specific farm in the world. The Brazilian man sees the revolutionary aspect of his project in cultivating high-yield cacao trees on irrigated and fertilized lands, writes https://xrust.ru/. He has already begun developing a plot of land larger than Manhattan Island. Previously, beans were grown there. It should be noted that this farmer is not alone in such an endeavor. Similar large-scale projects have been registered and are currently being implemented. Some plan to grow beans using industrial methods, while others aim to profit from cacao farming. If this trend proves successful, the center of gravity in the industry could shift from West Africa back to Brazil, where the cacao tree originates. At present, the global cacao industry is in crisis. Production is collapsing in Côte d’Ivoire and neighboring Ghana, which together produce over 60% of the world’s cacao. A powerful combination of plant diseases, climate change, and aging plantations has led to three consecutive years of declining output.
