Commonwealth of Dominica Relaunches The Cocoa Sector

Dominica is quite popular not only for its magnificent beaches and nature, but also for its unique cocoa, which is winning prestigious nominations for product quality.

“Owners of abandoned cocoa lands have been invited by The Ministry of Agriculture to come on board and invest in their farms with the offer that services to increase selected value chains’ productivity and export capacity will be available.” – write confectionerynews.

In 2017, after Hurricane Maria, crops were severely destroyed, as well as part of the country’s ecosystem. However, the island’s government did its best to rebuild the island.

“It’s one of the true crops that can be placed in the production system, but importantly, cocoa has come from being an estate crop to an integrated crop, and as such, we see the importance of cocoa worldwide in terms of the market available, and it’s agro-processed products,” said Dr. Reginald Thomas of the Ministry of the Blue and Green Economy, Agriculture and National Food Security.

The program that helped Dominica to recover quickly enough, is citizenship by investment program which for the fifth year in a row, was recognized as the best by the Financial Times’ Professional Wealth Management journal.

The Citizenship by Investment program allows successful applicants to obtain citizenship along with all the benefits such as global mobility, no taxes, and fast application processing.
