In August/September 2006, crop time, I was able to collect 625 MT for the company being the operation an unexpected success. Note that you need 150 fruits (size as a small orange) to produce one Kg of the dried seed, which is the product the pharmaceutical company buy. In other words: starting from zero I got local people to collect about 937,500,000 of fruits. Also I got for local farmers an average price of USD 5/Kg which has helped them a lot. Note that 1 cocoa Kg is paid today to farmers at no more than USD 1/kg.
