How cocoa helps Nigerian farmers trade out of poverty

Cocoa farming is not the easiest way to make a living in Nigeria, but more and more small farms are popping up.

Rise Nigeria. Rise! :-)

Hope they also invest into the value added part of the cocoa business... i.e refine and turn it into chocolate palates and export those and also produce end-consumer products (i.e chocolate bars, sweets etc.) that they can export and sell in the country. That is where the real money will be.

The nuts are easier to transport and store, heat destroys chocolate.

They Should Plant Grafted Cacao it will only take them 18 months and it start to bare fruit unlike what they plan non grafted it would take them 4-5 yrs ..
