Rising world prices for fine flavour cocoa is attracting new investment to the sector, creating partnerships between entrepreneurs and knowledge to develop value added industries and agro-tourism opportunities. The industry holds much potential but it is up to each stakeholder to harvest it.

QUALITY COCOA
Tobago Cocoa Estate W.I. LTD was established 2005 by Tobagonian born Duane Dove.
After several years living and working in Europe within the Food & Beverage Industry, Duane saw the need to rejuvenate the Cocoa Industry on the island. Tobago has in the past made significant contributions to Trinidad and Tobago's cocoa production and is one of the major crops still grown throughout Tobago.

Tobago, the sister isle of Trinidad, enjoys a warm tropical climate with an average day-time temperature of 29°C (83°F).
Historically cocoa was one of the major crops grown throughout Tobago. The particularly fine flavor of its beans won the isle fame and allows many large plantations, such as the Roxborough Estate, to concentrate on the production of cocoa as a viable cash crop. However, cocoa production has declined since the 1970s in the wake of hurricanes and other factors. A decline exacerbated by the disappearing skills of artisan cocoa production as many "old-timers" are no longer capable to work the land.
