Phased development
The planting of cocoa and shade crops
such as plantains started in September 2009, with the aim of developing the
estate in phases, and by having the first crops in the ground by June in 2010. Trinidad
has two seasons a wet and a dry, therefore shade crops such as bananas and
plantains must be planted along with the cocoa plants.

Great article. How long does Cocoa take to grow before harvest? Fred
ReplyDeleteHello Fred, Happy New Year, It take approximately four years for the trees to start bearing, but the "loads" are small. As the trees mature about 5-7 years the yield improves.
DeleteIt takes many years doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes, dedication and lots of effort and trust.
