About the pelle bongo

The new tool is noteworthy for its many improvements over the traditional machete or wood baton for use in cocoa harvesting.  These benefits include:​
​

• Increased efficiency by doing two tasks with one fluid motion: opening the pod and collecting only the beans... leaving the unwanted connective material attached inside the pod​

• Improved productivity because the farmer can produce a higher quality dried cocoa bean when he improves the process of fermentation by including only the beans​                                                                           
• Improved safety because of a shorter, less sharp blade                           
• Ergonomic design for smoother arm motion                                            
• Durable, long-lasting construction with a stainless steel blade and rivet-free handle                                                                                                 
• Easy to clean and maintain                                                                        
• Distinctive color for use in the forest: a bright blue handle
