Hello World, it has been a while …..
Time taken to re-organize, re-energize, regroup and reflect these last months had to be taken. Those reasons has strengthened my resolve and made me better equipped.
Early stages in the life of Cocoa bean (one of Grenada’s a major foreign revenue earner for Grenada) is being brought under the microscope this time.
The journey to rid ourselves of the colonial shackles and become independent utilizing our raw materials (long overdue), has taken a significant step with the formation of four chocolate factories. Grenada as a result, now is positioned towards creating jobs and an alternative for its people.
Visionaries such as Mott Green (aka Chocolate Mott) who co-founded the Grenada Chocolate Factory must be commended for helping to realize this dream.
Both parishes of St. Mark (Crayfish Bay Organics and Diamond Chocolate Factory) and St. Patrick (Belmont Estate Chocolate & Grenada Chocolate Factory) can boast of having two factories each.
Awareness, encouragement and support to similar ventures in other areas must continue.
Your varied comments, suggestions, ideas and feedback gives me strength and courage so, please keep them coming ….
Pictures in the Life of the Cocoa bean …
Wow very informative, this was worth the wait
Your are correct. It was about time. Thanks
Very informative. I believe one of the biggest waste is individual bottled water. Have a party when everyone leaves, look around and see how many bottles are half full. My use or suggestion for those leftover bottles of water are pour in plants, use for ironing, use for brushing teeth, use for spritzing hair and many more etc.
It’s amazing the little things we take for granted. Never thought of that. Timely input. Thank you.
So interesting and knowledgeable as this is our culture and livelihood. Looking forward to visiting these seeing some of the process firsthand.
We have only just scratched the surface. Much more is needed if support and encouragement is given. Thank you.
