Last year, farmer Wania from Ghana faced a difficult time: his cocoa plants barely bore fruit, and the harvest was almost nonexistent. This left him without not only beans for export, but also the means to feed his family.
This year, everything looks different. Thanks to the use of Karrikin, our natural, chemical-free plant tonic, the cocoa plants were able to grow vigorously and bear abundant fruit. In his example, only two black pods were found on his plantation; the rest of the fruit was healthy. The harvest is plentiful—enough to feed his family and bring his cocoa beans to market.
The experiences of cocoa farmers in Ghana impressively demonstrate how big a difference sustainable solutions can make. Initially, many farmers were skeptical and difficult to convince. But after trying our natural plant tonic, they are thrilled: The cocoa plants are healthier, the number of diseased pods has dropped dramatically, and yields are significantly higher than in previous years.
Some farmers even report that their entire plantations appear transformed. Based on this conviction, they now actively recommend the product to their colleagues. More and more farmers are joining in and want to use it as well – not only in their region, but also in neighboring areas.
Farmer Wania is, as he himself said, "more than happy." He can now smile again and looks forward to a positive future.
