What changed
What working as one cooperative has actually done for the members of Lofa Kissi Cocoa Cooperative.

Rebuilt drying capacity kept Lofa beans in Liberia instead of crossing the border for a quick sale.
In their words
The drying tables are the whole difference. My beans used to go across the border wet for half the money.
