Cocoa Business

Bsip Gets Into The

Although no cocoa of any con sequence has been produced in the BSI Protectorate to date, samples sent recently to London have oeen “received with interest”.

Experimental work is still going ahead at Auki, the industry’s head quarters, and already cocoa officers have been established at Malu’u Malaita and Gizo (Western Solomons). Twelve thousand pods, have already been purchased at Auki.

Mr. Urquhart, a Cadbury’s cocoa expert, is scheduled to make a visit to Auki later this year to advise.
