Big MAHALO! These videos are so thoughtful and well made. You help me follow a dream I had, just to make my own, great, chocolate. I am there!😋Came up with a great Mayan version and working on Aztec recipe. Also reading Allen Young's, The Chocolate Tree, A Natural History of Cacao. Not going to be a factory, but I have friends. 😊Thank you, again, you are inspiration in video format.

Qué buen canal CraftChocilateTv.
El chocolate es una de las materias primas imprescindibles que utilizo en la elaboración de mis productos que estoy desarrollando en San Pablo, Brasil y gracias a este canal logré acrecentar conocimientos sobre tan noble materia prima como es el cacao.
Desde Buenos Aires un saludo.

Great channel! - Monoculture plantations will generally have pests, due the lack of a natural biologic control. Have they tried to apply other cultivation techniques like agroforestry?

Which fungus is causing the infection? Wondering if it is transferred via soil and root, on the above ground foliage, or both. Is Mycelium running and option?

[@GeneHrsy]

Are Ultraviolet Light, or elevated Ozone levels effective to kill spores?
