A Brazilian guy decided to revolutionize cocoa tree cultivation
A Brazilian farmer is establishing a giant garden for growing cocoa trees in the state of Bahia. It will become the largest industry-specific farm in the world. The Brazilian man considers the revolutionary aspect of his initiative to be the cultivation of high-yield cocoa trees on irrigated and fertilized lands, writes https://xrust.ru/. He has already begun developing a plot of land larger in size than Manhattan Island. Previously, beans were grown there. It’s worth noting that this farmer is not the only one undertaking such an initiative. Similar large-scale projects have been registered and are currently being implemented. Some aim to grow legumes using industrial methods, while others plan to profit from cocoa production. If this trend succeeds, the center of gravity in the industry could shift from West Africa back to Brazil, where the cocoa tree originates. At present, the global cocoa industry is in crisis. Production has collapsed in Côte d’Ivoire and neighboring Ghana, which together produce more than 60% of the world’s cocoa. A powerful combination of plant diseases, climate change, and aging plantations has resulted in three consecutive years of declining production.
