¡La revolución del chocolate: los fabricantes impulsan la demanda de granos de cacao indios!

Si no hubiera sido por las ardillas, el intento de George Matthew de convertirse en productor de granos de cacao podría haber fracasado.

His farming career began in the 1970s when he inherited a rubber plantation in the the southern Indian state of Kerala , which he managed alongside his career as a doctor.

It was a bad time to inherit a rubber plantation, falling rubber prices meant it kept losing money. So, 10 years ago Dr Matthew decided to experiment with cocoa trees, hoping they would generate some funds to support the rest of the farm.
