Читать книгу The Manufacture of Chocolate and other Cacao Preparations - Paul Zipperer - Страница 15

Cacao plantation in Australia is still in its early stages. Most progressive is

Samoa, which has increased its 1900 export of 30 cwt. to 200 tons at the present time, among which right excellent qualities occur, culled from Criollo trees. The deteriorated Forastero has also recently been planted, which we must allow to be more fruitful and less dependent on careful nursing. The Samoa Criollo bean resembles the large fine Ceylon variety, except that it has a more pronounced flavour.

New Guinea and Bismarck-Archipelagoes can only claim casual mention as experimentally interested in cacao cultivation.
