My trip to a Cocoa Farm in Nigeria! From planting to harvesting!This is where chocolates comes from

Today I had a privilege of going into a cocoa farm in a small village in Ondo State Nigeria, I was able to learn a lot from this experience & research used so I decided to share with you guys!
Research material
• How Are Cocoa Beans Made?

[@Iamrealyungray]

We went to CRIN just last two weeks and we were tutored that there are varieties of cocoa that took 2 years to produce

[@samueleleko8228]

Thirty five years is not correct. The cocoa trees planted before I was born are still yielding fruits. I am over 60 and the ones I met on the farm are still yielding. The major enemy of the plantation is fire outbreak. Prevent it at all cost and enjoy your trees and pass them on to the next generation

[@hugiingibjartsson5057]

Good understandable englis and love to know more about cocoa. Industry. Thanks for the videos

[@omalosandrapeter7222]

Beautiful 👌

[@solomonogundele205]

Patootie, you should have added that the Cocoa community you visited, Igbo Olodumare, must have been the inspiration for Prof Fagunwa's Book/Novel "Igbo Olodumare" which has been a Yoruba reference textbook for decades!

GREAT JOB SISTER ........YOU REMIND ME OF MY CHILDHOOD WHEN I USED TO HELP MY FATHER IN OUR COCOA PLANTATION IN OBAFEMI LOCAL GOVT. OF OGUN STATE .......... COCOA FARMING IS VERY INTERESTING AND BRINGS GOOD CASH OUT OF WHICH MY FATHER FINANCED OUR SCHOOL EDUCATION AND BUILT A 2 STORY BUILDING IN ABEOKUTA ...

See how rich Africa is, can we start making our own chocolate 🌍🤤😍

[@patootie]

So rich sis ❤️

[@yaoxiden219]

Ghana is trying to start producing chocolate, I don't think there's a huge market for it in Africa, it is Europeans and North Americans that are the really big consumers.

[@tayokarate]

There are chocolate companies in Nigeria not many though

[@samueleleko8228]

Chocolate is now produced at Alade in Ondo state, Nigeria

[@lawalabdulrahmon2202]

It is unfortunate, our government only focus on crude oil, they need to invest more in farming. See Cocoa farm at it is worth.

[@popoolaagbejule2606]

First time of seeing a cocoa plantation. 10years of planting, waiting patiently for a harvest. Then, 35years of return on investment. That tells a lot that waiting expecting, perseverance and praying to God pays a lot.

Great content. Well done. I’m learning about cocoa farming and export. I read somewhere that it takes 5 years for fruit bearing.

[@antnam4406]

Ondo in the news today for starting a trial to start exporting processed cocoa not raw. We export raw and take cheap money while the buyers make all the money. So now we process it and make the real money!

Hi my name is karabo. Just want to find out if Nigeria sells fresh cocoa fruit I would so like to grow myself some here in South Africa

[@hao_9388]

Another comment from me! I see you're developing a little farming segment - I hear the north might limit the supply of onions to the south. Are there any onion farms in the SW? Might be an interesting video if youve got the time

[@patootie]

Well I could care less about the onions coming from there, but also thanks for the idea, I’ll check it out

[@hao_9388]

@@patootie hahaha 🤣

[@nigerdeltamirrortv9311]

Let them keep their onions and other foodstuffs if that will stop the harassment from those mad Fulani herdsmen. We can import from Cameroon and other neighbouring countries. Enough with this black mail. And if this continues we Niger Delta people might block our oil from going North.....We will supply South West and other places while the North go import from other countries. Nonsense

OYINDAMOLA (DO YOU KNOW THAT MOST OF COCOA FARM IS OWNED BY FOREIGN CHOCOLATE MANUFACTURER AND THEY EMPLOYED LOCAL WORKERS AS OUTGROWERS) IS JUST LIKE MODERN DAY SLAVERY BUT INSTEAD OF CAPTURING THEM AS SLAVES TO WORK ON PLANTATION. THEY EMPLOYED AND PAID THEM. IF I HAD MY WAY THE COCOA FARM WILL BE COOPERATIVE OWNERSHIP. AND NO SUCH FIRMS AS CADBURY OR MONDELSA WILL TAKE OVER.
