The roll out of planting new cocoa trees begun in 2014 and is benefiting two million farmers in the country.
Cocoa Board Papua New Guinea (CBPNG) chief executive officer Boto Gaupu said they’ve planted half a million cocoa trees under the three years nursery cocoa project.
Gaupu said they have half a million more trees in the nurseries throughout the country that are yet to be planted under this project.
The cocoa industry to date has provincial and district cocoa growers, a total of 12 nurseries with 500 million trees in the nurseries throughout the country.
