PDS paid a courtesy call to the Governor of Negros Occidental last June 21, 2016. They were invited to give a seminar regarding growing cacao using PDS protocols. The said cacao techno forum was intended for 81 Integrated Social Forestry (ISF) Communities in the Provincial Capitol of Negros Occidental. /PDS report by Mia Concepcion
Midges as Cacao Pollinators
A midge is busy pollinating the blooms even in the afternoon. A grafted seedling will always be more productive than non-grafted seedlings. It will give the farmers the productivity per hectare that we talked about in our seminars. It is a choice that one must decide if you are seriously planning to grow cacao. Just sharing ?

Cacao de Davao Chocolocco Gourmet of Chocolate
(Affiliated Farms) Orient Farm is one of PDS’ Model Farms
Orient farm is our model farm in Davao, where Mr. Cacao brings PDS cacao visitors and investors.
Mang Leo, the farm supervisor, is a friend of Mr. Cacao who is always willing to listen from his advice regarding natural farming.
In 2015, Mang Leo used too much chemical inputs and chemicals to eliminate weeds in the whole farm until he listened to use mechanized grass cutters and apply microorganisms.
Mr. Cacao took pictures of the farm yesterday and was amazed to see when this farm became so successful in fruiting too much pods!
This is their story and we are sharing to you why CHEMICALS is not the RIGHT WAY to go. #TeamPDS, #caringforDavao, #cacao, #chocolate, #organic, #organicfarming, #photography, #photo, #natural, #nature, #naturephotography, #nochemicals, #chemicalfree, #microorganisms, #mechanizedgrasscutters, #TLC, #plantaciondesikwate
