Description
In the Kilombero valley, bordering the Udzungwa Mountain national park, smallholder farmers are producing an amazing cacao with a rounded profile, flavours of red fruits such as cherries and berries, floral notes and a smooth nutty and chocolaty finish.
The social enterprise Kokoa Kamili buys wet beans directly from the farmers at premium prices, and carefully controls fermentation and drying to assure a consistent quality product. The training of over 4000 farmers in good agricultural practices is helping to increase yield, as well as substantially increasing the quality of the beans, allowing them to achieve a higher farm gate price. This results in the farmers earning more money which allows them to invest more in their future, their family and education. Farmers in Kilombero have been practicing organic farming by default for generations.
