2019 Partner Report: El Majagual
El Majagual
Dominican Republic
Good Year For:
Dodging Storms
Being located along the Dominican Republic's northern coast, El Majagual is often hit hard during hurricane season; this year, the farm went unscathed.
Productive Trees
Despite a drought that reduced yield, Ramon still managed to export almost as much cacao as his previous high.Â
Tough Year For:
Enough Rain
Drought impacted farms throughout the Puerto Plata province, stressing the cacao trees which bore fewer and smaller cacao beans.
