Filling The Cocoa Basket, One Bean At A Time
The Jamaica Cocoa Farmers Association (JCFA) has received training in how to dry cocoa beans using a solar-drying system. The association's farmers have also been given tips on growing good habits to help them maximise their yield.
According to JCFA treasurer Hugh Johnson, the United States Agency for International Develop-ment has injected well-needed funds to help with the installation of 50 solar-drying facilities islandwide as well as the implementation of the training programme.
