How it’s made
- Collect husks after opening the pods; don’t leave them to rot under the trees, where they spread disease.
- Compost them, or chop and dry them for feed.
- Use on the farm or bag to sell.
Who buys it
Cacao and vegetable farms, livestock raisers and garden shops.
Rules to know
Fertilizer for sale is regulated by the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA); feed by the Bureau of Animal Industry. Requirements change, so confirm with the agency before you start selling.

Every cacao farm, especially in Davao and the rest of Mindanao.
