From Cashier to World Class Cocoa Farmer
Tumblr media
After Angela Tang, “65-plus” appeared in Your Stories in February, an excited young woman journeyed to her estate in Gran Couva to meet her. “She was so impressed with the story about me and the Santiago Estate that she wanted to buy cocoa beans to make chocolates and handcream.”
Tang’s story was about her rise from a cashier to a cocoa estate owner and told how her prized beans were being exported to international chocolatiers.   She spoke about the value of Gran Couva’s cocoa and expressed her desire for more people to get into cocoa cultivation.
After the story broke, a lot of people, locally and abroad, read it and were inspired and contacted Tang to find out about cocoa farming.
“I thank the Guardian for giving me the opportunity to encourage others, particularly women who own cocoa land, to get into cultivation or their own small business using cocoa beans.”
