After a trial period, which indicated that cocoa trees are suitable to land and weather conditions in some southern provinces, we are encouraging more farmers to invest to expand their cocoa gardens. |
Our local authorities will support foreign firms to raise cocoa production in the future, aiming to reach a target of as much as 15,000-16,000 metric tons of dried cocoa beans by 2010. |
We have good conditions such as arable land, hard-working farmers and markets for expanding the cocoa crop. |
