In this podcast, we start by considering the current environmentally caused crisis in the chocolate industry.  If the cocoa farmer is to survive this crisis, the need for participating in more of the value chain has never been more critical.  To do this, the farmer needs to focus more on quality rather than just quantity.  That is, the farmer needs to apply scientific principles to make flavor beans rather than bulk beans.
 
 Three steps lead to optimum quality: fermentation, drying, and triage,and these steps are the focus of this podcast and of Project Hope and Fairness ’s mission for 2024.
 
 I hope you enjoy this very informative episode.  Tom Neuhaus
