SATCocoa Phase 1: Choosing seeds and growing seedlings

The grower can buy at research centres
  • either selected seeds of good quality
He sows the seeds in a nursery bed or in baskets. Later, he plants out the seedlings in the plantation.
  • or young seedlings of good quality
He plants them straight away in the plantation.
  • Some growers have no research centre nearby.
They can nevertheless have good cocoa plantations by:

¬ choosing their own seeds,
¬ sowing their seeds in a nursery bed,
¬ planting out their seedlings in the plantation.


Nursery bed is the name for the place where the seeds are sown to make them germinate.

Take the best beans from the middle of the pod
