Chocolate fruit is attacked by fungal pests
Chocolate fruit is a type of fruit that is familiar to us because this one fruit is very much available in our country and now there are many farmers or gardeners who grow cocoa on their land or in their gardens. Cocoa now has a price. selling very expensive and many planters who earn abundant income from cocoa gardening.
In the area where I live, almost all of the people grow cacao in their yards or in their gardens, and the people in my area live a prosperous life by cultivating cacao. The results of cacao gardening can finance household needs and can also pay for their children's education up to high school and even for those who have a very large number of cacao gardens they have a lot of income or money, we can imagine that in my area cacao has a price of $ 8 to $ 10 per kilogram and even that price can depend more on the US dollar price.
At present the hearts of cocoa garden farmers are starting to get restless and anxious because their cocoa plantations are starting to be attacked by pests or diseases and these diseases are especially pleasing to the cacao fruit, the cacao they have starts to rot and turn yellow, the cocoa beans don't contain anymore. Usually cacao fruit disease is common. the fruit rots whether the fruit is still small or the fruit is old, the fungal disease that attacks the cacao fruit is very difficult for the farmers to overcome.
This is what I can write on this occasion, more and less, I apologize a lot, and I hope that my writing will be useful for all of us and thank you for the support from all of my friends.
In the following, I will share some pictures of cacao fruit that is attacked by fungus and the fruit starts to rot. I hope my friends will like it.

Oh, this is one of my favorites. I love eating this kind of fruit. One time I tried to make a champorado made up of rice, cocoa and sugar it's so delicious too. Thanks for sharing this one. Stay safe and God bless.

How sad to see cacao turn into rotten because of those insects. In my father's garden back then, we use to cover them with plastics when they grow a little bit to protect them from insects.
