Changes

In 2009 Issouf created a new plantation further away from the village. Beside already existing older cocoa trees he planted new trees in the shade of fruit trees next to coffee shrubs, banana trees and vanilla. On his plantation grow all three types of cocoa: criollo, forastero and trinitario.

<!--Issouf is president of the ADAPS cooperation in the Ananambao region. The Association pour le Dévelopment de l'Agriculture et du Paysannat du Sambirano (Association for the Development of Agriculture and the Peasantry of the Sambirano) buys dry beans from independent farmers for a fixed, fair price. As all members of ADAPS, Issouf has to farm and process the cocoa after strict regulations to ensure a good quality cocoa.-->
