In February 2021, we sent breadfruit trees to Belize. Our contact, John Arana, received the trees and nurtured them before sending them off to all six districts in the country. Seven months later, we received photo updates of the trees and looking strong and healthy!
We have been conversing with a growing breadfruit network in Belize since then. In February 2023, again with the help of Mr. Arana, we delivered more than 500 more breadfruit trees to Belize. Philip Bucknor volunteered as courier. See a photo of them passing off the trees here.
In 2024, Philip traveled with TTFF to Jamaica to learn more about the breadfruit business and take his knowledge back to his breadfruit farm! Read about the trip here.
TTFF has also provided basic equipment for beginning to make breadfruit flour.
We love having passionate partners in countries like this one!
