In this week's bonus episode, Dan O'Doherty talks about the obstacles Hawaiian cacao farmers will continue to face in the years ahead, and the possibilities for vertically-integrated Hawaiian chocolate businesses. For the last decade, Dan has been working with local as well as international cacao farmers to improve their post-harvest handling of cacao. Dan is based in Hawai'i.
