My name is Théodore Koffi Kouakou. I am a member of ECOJAD, and today it has been 19 years since I joined the cooperative. I live with my wife, Agnes, my sons, Yoann and Ezechiel, who are 3 and 10, and my daughter, Naomie, who is 6. Every day starts early for me. After waking up, I wash myself, get dressed, take my machete and head to my cocoa farm. What I do each day depends on the season. This can be anything from pruning the cocoa trees to cleaning the farm, to harvesting and breaking the cocoa pods, or completing the fermentation process. My farm spans 4.63 hectares, so these activities take a lot of time. There is always something to do on the farm.
