One farmer in Brazil is working to make the world's largest cocoa farm, with plans to revolutionize the way the main ingredient in chocolate is produced. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/29/brazil-cocoa-industry-farm/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #brazil #agriculture #cocoa #chocolate #southamerica
The Japan Times · Brazil's would-be cocoa king aims to revolutionize industry with giant farm
A dramatic spike in the price of cocoa is easing after years of shortages. But on the ground in West Africa, which produces about two-thirds of the world’s supply, the reality is far more complicated. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/23/economy/cocoa-growers-struggle-supply/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #cocoa #africa #trade #chocolate #markets #ivorycoast #ghana #nigeria #cameroon

A brief #Introduction or actually, re-introduction post.
I'm Sarah. I'm an entomologist. I work at Niab in the UK, studying insects important in fruit crop production. This includes #Pollinators like bees and hoverflies, as well as natural enemies of pests, and the pests themselves.
Most of my work is on UK crops like #Apples and #Strawberries but I also have an area of work on entomology in #Cocoa (there are a lot of parallels with orchards really!).
I'm always happy to infodump enthusiastically about #SolitaryBees, #Forcipomyia, #Cacao cultivation, #Strawberry varieties, and also about hamsters.
Help the Four-horned #Chameleon 
of #Cameroon 
and #Nigeria 
. These beautiful #lizards are #vulnerable due to #deforestation 
for #palmoil #cocoa and #mining. Help them to survive when you #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
