Farmers

Crafting Flavors from the Fields

Cacao farming in the Solomon Islands is a significant agricultural practice that contributes to the country’s economy and cultural heritage. Cacao farmers play a vital role in producing high-quality cacao beans, which are used for making chocolate and other cocoa-based products. These farmers are skilled in the cultivation and management of cacao trees, employing traditional farming methods alongside modern techniques to ensure optimal yields and quality.

The work of cacao farmers not only sustains their livelihoods but also preserves traditional farming practices and cultural heritage. Cacao farming is often interwoven with local customs, traditions, and storytelling, creating a strong connection to the land and the community. Cathliro sources its cocoa beans from five locations: Guadalcanal, Isabel, Makira, Temotu and the Western Province.
