TITLE -Cultivating a dream
After two years of Oaxacanita's start, we had the chance to talk with Mr. Hilario, who, inspired by our work and vision, decided to start the cultivation of cocoa in his backyard with the help of our key partner Dr. Manuel Hernández.
After 4 years of hard work and after knowing more about the chocolate industry in the world, we can say that this photo shows the first attempt of a professional cultivation of cocoa in the Mixtec Region of Oaxaca, a region that has the perfect conditions to grow this special crop that is needed so much in our country: Mexico, who in 2019 has a lack of cocoa production of 70 thousand tons every year.
