Cacao Permaculture Project

In the beginning of April 2022, we started to plant 1.5 hectares of cacao. The soil for this was cleaned manually, without the use of chemicals, weeds and bushes several meters high. Then we spent four days planting seedlings. These were carried by mules in a higher section of land. A permaculture layout of the plantation now allows us to place citrus trees, fruit trees, and banana shrubs among the cacao that regulate moisture levels and provide habitat for a wide variety of insects and birds. The right balance between cacao and other plants is one of the requirements for good quality organic cacao. We are learning.

Project Cost: $1,500
