Friday, a bunch of us went to the Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa
Farm, the first cocoa farm in Ghana.
Before Tetteh Quarshie there wasn’t any cocoa in Ghana. He spent time in the Seychelles (I think) and
recognized the money to be made off of cocoa.
Because smuggling/importing was illegal, he swallowed the cocoa bean to
get it across the border and expelled it after arriving. He began the first farm in Ghana and cocoa
become a major cash crop and export for the country. Now, the farm is about 3 hectares and only produces
about 5 bags of beans each year. The
farm still has two of the original trees from the first year Tetteh
planted! Quite cool. I expected the trees would be much larger,
but my roommate explained that cocoa trees take a long time to grow and are
easily infected. Across from the farm (so turn 180 degrees in the first picture) was a school, church, and some homes. When we were taking pictures, a bunch of kids started coming out and took pictures with us! :)
Afterwards, we drove to the Center for Research into Plant
Medicine and toured the facility. They only
produce natural medicines/remedies.
People can grow their own and bring it in for quality testing and then
sell it under the Center’s name. The
products are very cheap. About 2 cedis
for a bottle. Quite good. They have ~1,000
specimens in the herbarium/library, most, if not all, of which can be gathered
in the jungle behind the facility. Normally,
groups can go in and see a little bit, but it had just rained and it wasn’t
safe enough “unless you want to see snakes.
Then I can show you anacondas,” he said. Most of the group was decided they were
good. I wanted to go in. I mean, how often can you see snakes outside
of a cage and not be completely terrified?
It was really overcast and gorgeous on the drive up. As we drove up the hill, there were some beautiful and incredibly nice homes. Interesting to see how close together the poorer homes and crazy huge ones are. Of course the pictures don't do the views justice. At all.
