YOUTH AND CACAO FARMING IN TROPICAL REGIONS

  YOUTH AND CACAO FARMING IN TROPICAL REGIONS.

Cacao trees farming is among of the best option for Tanzanians and young farmers found all around the tropical regions on our earth.

Many young farmers are not willing to undertake long term trees farming because the economic results of planting trees takes years, this has been the cause for many young farmers to despise trees farming and start planting short term crops.

Cacao are fastest growing up trees which takes two years and a half to three years for a farmer to start harvesting and it takes five years to experience regularly (the interval of three weeks throughout the year) harvest of cacao.

If young farmers decide to plant cacao trees it will not only benefit them economically for a year but for the years while sustaining the environment for the up coming generations.

ORGANIC PESTICIDES TO TREAT CACAO TREES

ORGANIC PESTICIDES TO TREAT CACAO    TREES.

Some seedlings have been affected by bacteria, funguses and ants are laying their eggs on leaves, to treat all these kinds of affection as the first aid to the seedlings we use the grinded mixture of moringa oleifera, neem and aloevera.

After grinding the combination of neem, aloevera and moringa oleifera then we spray on seedlings.
