Despite its importance for food production and biodiversity, the Kilombero Valley is facing serious challenges, such as declines in water quantity, water pollution, and degrading wetlands and forests. Kokoa Kamili cacao grows in smallscale agroforestry and is intercropped with shade trees, bananas, corn and other crops. This production system is an ecological alternative for monoplantations and helps to preserve biodiversity. It also creates a natural buffer zone for the Udzungwa Mountains National Park, a birdwatchers’ paradise and famous for its primates, elephants and vast variety in flora. Smallholder cocoa farmers in the Kilombero Valley are practicing organic farming since time immemorial, simply because pesticides and chemical fertilizers were not available. In 2015 this was officially awarded with organic certification for Europe, the US and Japan! Electricity for the Kokoa Kamili fermentation centre comes from solar power.

Garyth’s approach to cacao production is a shining example of how well nature and farming can live together in harmony. As a passionate and knowledgeable organic farmer, Thomas has introduced various natural systems to protect his trees and crops from diseases and to stimulate pollination and healthy growth of the cacao pods.
