Ghana Cocoa Diaries with Nick Willson
In June 2024, the Cocoa Masterclass, founded by Kate Cavallin at Cacao Latitudes, went to Ghana for an immersive educational experience, in partnership with Three Mountains Cocoa.
While we were there, ACM's Founder & CEO, Dr. Kristy Leissle, asked Cocoa Masterclass participants and instructors what surprised them about Ghana and its cocoa.
We share their responses each Wednesday in our series, Ghana Cocoa Diaries.
Our next diarist is Nick Willson, Production Manager at Good Cocoa Bean.
Let's hear from Nick about what surprised him while we were in Ghana, learning all about its cocoa.
