Under the leadership of Labuta Cocoa Cooperative Society managing director, Reuben Yapi, the villagers built their wet bean shed, a storage shed and set up their combination solar-firewood dryer. The latter was donated by Wafi-Golpu.
This means that the villagers can now dry their own cocoa beans and sell them. Prior to that, they used to sell their wet beans to buyers.
“Yumi nambawan lain, yupla mas tingim,” Yapi told villagers during the launching of the cocoa combination dryer.
