Organic certification requires a transition period of 2-3 years but can increase your crop’s market value by 20-40%. The certification process involves eliminating synthetic inputs, implementing natural pest management, and maintaining detailed records of farm practices. Many farmers report that the premium prices and improved soil health provide long-term benefits. Before pursuing certification, research chocolate makers specifically seeking organic cacao to ensure you’ll have buyers willing to pay for your premium product.
