There are two avenues for growth:
1) Small scale/subsistence farmers grow to commercial scale and take advantage of economies of scale.

But credit only buys time. If that patchment just ends up as raw green exports, the farmer is still trapped on global price swings.

🎙Do not be discouraged. Fluctuating Coffee and Cocoa prices aren't a sign of falling demand. The two value chains are still highly profitable.🎙
