Environment Preservation

im_meio_ambienteEnvironment preservation has always been Agrícola Cantagalo´s concern. Its cocoa trees have been planted under the so-called Atlantic Forest, meeting the needs for high moisture and shadow conditions, which makes cocoa culture a strong ally in the preservation of this biome, representing a total area of 2,650 hectares of preserved Atlantic Forest in its properties.
Agrícola Cantagalo has added to its forests specimens like Mahogany, Teak, Brazilian Rosewood, Brazilwood, Canary wood and Peroba, among others. Wild animals hunting and overfishing are forbidden in our farms. Our water springs are carefully preserved and maintained. See image gallery.
