Cocoa's roots in Saint Vincent date back to the 18th century, introduced by British colonists. Its significance waned as banana exports took center stage. In 2009, after banana exports lost European tariff protection, a trading company invested in cocoa. In 2014, it passed to devoted Vincentians, birthing the Saint Vincent Cocoa Company.
With 250 hectares and collaboration with around 100 local farmers tending 2-hectare plots, cocoa thrives alongside banana, plantain, ginger, maize, and indigenous root varieties. Tall coconut, melina, and mahogany trees provide vital shade.
A central facility manages fermentation and drying, culminating in a state-of-the-art solar dryer, perfecting beans' moisture levels to 6-7%.
