Distribution

Selected cacao accessions from a diverse genetic background with desirable agronomic traits are being distributed to cocoa-producing countries via intermediate quarantine at the University of Reading, UK.

After satisfying the required period in quarantine, these elite accessions will be distributed to a range of cocoa-producing countries, including participants in the CFC/ICCO/IPGRI Project. In the future, selected populations from germplasm enhancement programmes will be distributed in a similar way
