Summary

After a review of previous work, experiments on cocoa seed storage at the West African Cocoa Research Institute are described. Although no definite recommendations are made as to the optimum methods of storing cocoa seed, the effects of temperature, fungicides, pre-storage in the pod after harvest, air-drying, and some minor factors are described and discussed.
