(250911) -- PARA, Sept. 11, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Cocoa beans are sun-dried at a chocolate factory in Medicilandia, Para state, Brazil, on Sept. 10, 2025. Located in northern Brazil, the state of Para is the largest cocoa-producing area in Brazil, with annual yields of approximately 150,000 tons of cocoa beans, 95 percent of which are exported. To restore degraded lands and enhance farmers' income, the Nature Conservancy (TNC) in Brazil encourages farmers to adopt agroforestry systems, integrating cocoa cultivation with other tree species to rehabilitate degraded or low-productivity areas. This agroforestry approach also enables rural producers to diversify their income by growing fruit trees and other native species, contributing to a sustainable agricultural model.
