Garcia’s dedication and integrity gained the loyalty of a growing number of farmers, and nowadays they collect Cacao Paste from more than 300 producers in the region.
In the process, Garcia began exporting his own products. He married and became the father of 5 children, who later would become the administrative staff of the Cocoa Family company. However, things at that moment began to get complicated. The larger companies began to take him of business, since they wanted to buy Cacao Paste so cheap that they left no profit to produce their fruit.
In 2006, without knowledge, his children took the reins of the company in a difficult and sometimes heartbreaking cacao industry, until in 2007, when with a more structured and competitive company, the family decides to get hooked to modernity by opening a web page that would allow them to connect with the world -- an immediate success!
A huge statue of cacao pod welcomes visitors as they enter the city of San Francisco de Macoris, proclaiming the important role of cacao in the local economy. Cocoa Family farms and the cacao gathering center is located in Tenares near San Francisco de Macoris in the Dominican Republic. Cocoa Family / Victor Garcia and the producing partners, live in the great region known as El Cibao, home to 21 thousand of the approximately 35 thousand cacao producing families of the country. The deep and fertile soils of the Cibao and the regular rains favor the cultivation of rice and coffee as well. The fertile valley is considered the cultural heart of the country.
Today Garcia continues to grow in his cacao farms with the same passion of the old days, producing cacao ingredients of unique origin such as: powder, butter, beans, and liquor. The quality of their products is such, that they have managed to be certified as Fair Trade, Kosher, Bio Suisse, Rain Forest Alliance, UTZ, and others. So, if you ever wonder where the greatest stories are born, remember the boy who started at 10 years old and worked on a cacao farm for only 10 cents a day.
