Cacao Cultivation in Santo Domingo

W. E. Pulliam outlines cacao farming in the Dominican Republic, noting long history, uneven cultivation, and potential for growth. He cites Cibao, Leibo near Higuey, and Sabana de la Mar as key regions, with Swiss and French growers proving quality and higher prices.

Global demand rising faster than supply, with United States Germany and France as main markets. Current price around eight dollars per quintal.
