I didn't realise that cacao needed such a specific climate. Isn't it interesting how these sorts of resources, which were once so expensive and hard to come by, have become so cheap and easily obtained in our current, all consuming way of life? Yet they are now reminding us that they are not such an easy resource and could use a bit more respect. However, this is great news for Thailand and I look forward to hearing more on it. I wonder if any areas of Australia would be suitable for growing cacao.

The labour costs in Australia make it a total non-viable option commercially. There ARE pockets around the Daintree etc that might work for small, personal growers tho. :)
They way things are going, it may not continue to be the case. Wages haven't risen for years in most companies and some are even getting rid of the workforce to replace them with people who will take a lower wage. Businesses are either going under, or they're paying below minimum wage in cash to stay afloat. Unemployment is so high that people will take anything and family support is being reeled back each year. Centerlink is inundated with claims and most of the time you can't get through to them on the phone, not even to be put in a queue. Something has got to happen to balance things out or Australia will be dead in the water. They've relied so heavily on exports and now nobody is buying because its cheaper elsewhere.

The wages legislation puts you out of the global ballpark by miles and miles and miles.... everything in Oz is so stupidly expensive. Happy to not be living there anymore and seeing how other countries do it is quite the eye-opener.
Exciting times. New strains and varieties are going to be SUPER important in these times... biodiversity is more important than ever. Good to see a viable, long lived and sustainable crop being an option for the Karen.

I'm very excited about it. Costing at the moment to see how much we need to raise to plant this variety around the new Karen Field Hospital on "the other side" i.e. in Karen State, in Burma. With a view to being able to self-support for Field Hospital staff in the future. It's sensitive politically and I need the Thai Provincial Governor on my team to make this fly. I have access. Just getting some website & legal ducks in a row at this end first. Hope to meet him in later September and get some special tax and employment law exemptions under Thailand's Board of Investment Privilege Scheme. It's what I'm working on when I should be tying up the Truth Challange. LOL. @richardcrill
I do love dark chocolate and just make my own raw chocolate now. I had no idea about the climate factor, thank you for continuing to educate me I really appreciate that. Looking forward to hearing more and how amazing that the Karen community may start to grow cacao xx
