easter chocolate
Selling for $7.00 a kilogram is
quite an increase from the $2.00
per kilogram that Venezuelan
farmers were receiving for
conventional cacao beans just a
few years ago. This price jump is
the result of new organic farming
methods funded by the Venezuelan
government who has put $10 million
dollars into research and training.
Being sought for production of
high end single bean malt whisky
in Europe and the USA organic
cacao is bringing the highest
price ever to the cocoa growers of
Venezuela. These growers are
taking their production one step
further and have now begun to
produce their own chocolate as
well.
