Hi Riayat, I just read this article of yours about "Harvesting cocoa fruit to meet daily economic needs". Yes my friend, it brought back some really fond memories! It's crazy how a simple afternoon with my grandfather (oh I missed him so much, have past away a few years back due to prostate cancer) and a little helper(me) turned into such a productive (and enjoyable) experience.

It's true, cocoa is like the new gold in agriculture these days. The prices are amazing, and it's definitely worth putting in the effort. I was surprised at how much more efficient the harvest was with the little guy helping out. Kids have so much energy!

Those pesky squirrels, though! They're a real pain, but you know what, they're also a good source of meat and fun as small game (in my country)? Maybe we should learn to coexist a little better. They're not exactly ruining the beans, just enjoying a little snack. We just need to find a way to protect the fruits without completely driving them away.

Anyway, it was a great day. Spending time with family, getting some exercise, and bringing in a good harvest – what more could you ask for? Hope you enjoyed the story and the pictures!
