The Pelle Bongo is a new harvesting tool for cocoa farmers that can replace the traditionally used machete or wood baton.
It is a safer, cleaner and more efficient way for cocoa farmers to open ripe cocoa pods and easily remove only the seeds, effectively separating them from the connective material inside. As a result, the seeds are more easily and thoroughly fermented, thus creating and preserving the flavor we know as chocolate.
When completely dried, the higher quality product - dried cocoa bean - can help sustain the international supply of the essential raw material for chocolate as well as improve the livelihood and future of farmers.
