Cacao in the Dominican Republic

Cacao was introduced in the Dominican Republic by the Spaniards at the beginning of the XVII century. Several decades later, the French had taken over the island and planted new varieties from other Latin American colonies.

Cacao production is distributed in 28 municipalities belonging to 11 provinces in 5 regions.Cacao land ownership is essentially made-up of smallholders, where 40,000 farms belong to 35,000 families.

"Today, 40 per cent of the forests consist of cacao; and most of our rivers originate in the forested highlands. In short, cacao is one of the national treasures, and it is our duty to protect it"
-Héctor José Rizek
