We Own 50 Acres Of Cocoa Farm In Ghana But Still Poor!

[@ajomomandela9845]

It would be better for farmers in Ghana and Ivory Coast to grow cops that will feed their countries and the rest of Africa. Maize, cassava, sweet potatoes and other root crops should be produced in mass quantities. These crops can be processed into flour as is already done in many countries. Planting cocoa for the Europeans does not make economic sense. They get top dollar for the processed products while the farmers suffer with low prices. Let the Europeans reduce their profit margins if they want to continue doing business with African farmers. The Caribbean has excellent chocolate makers and it is time for African farmers to join hands with their brothers and sisters in the diaspora for a better life for all concerned.

-The flesh from inside the pod is sweet enough to make alcohol from, the South American tribes used the pulp to make a fermented drink. separating the pulp from the bean before dying may remove flavour but you can dry the beans using small amounts of the pulp slurry to give the flavour the bean would normally have after drying. -The husk/pod itself can be mixed with other materials to produce a compost that is more beneficial than using just the husk, processing a compost made of many different plant materials and then adding micro-organisms that benefit the ground and the tree. -"Vertical Intergration" is a good way to own the profits of your work, producing as many different parts of products and making more than a single product from a single resource is always going to be useful. Alcohol and Compost are both easy to produce and are already part of the processes so it could be a good idea to take what already exists and make it more rather than every cocoa farmer building their own chocolate factory, although there definitely need to be more places to process the cocoa.

Hey bro... compress the dried husks... press them as hard as u can together ... can they be used as heating pellets. Can they be used as fire wood. We have a product in canada .. an easy start fire log. One log to get the fire started. It is dried saw dust and other things compressed to look like a log. It burns easy... Could be a usefull idea. I did a quick google and it says cocoa husks have alot of nutrients.. maybe can be used for a supplement.. ( note: I do not know if cocoa husk is actually good. It was a google suggestion
