Frequent harvesting of cacao means regularly collecting ripe cacao pods from the trees — usually every 2 to 3 weeks during the main harvest season. 🌰🍫 Here’s why it’s important and what happens when you do it often: ✅ Advantages of Frequent Harvesting 1. Better bean quality – Ripe pods are processed quickly, preventing overripe or moldy beans. 2. Higher yield – Regular picking encourages trees to produce more flowers and pods. 3. Pest control – Reduces the chance of pod borer, rats, or fungus
