Cocoa farmers in Haiti and the Dominican Republic are poised to\nsuffer great losses unless action is undertaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In preparation of the possible\narrival of frosty pod, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, with support from the\nCaribbean Export Development Agency and financial aid of the European Union<a href=\"#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a>,\nhave embarked on the development of a binational strategy for the prevention of\n<em>Moniliophthora roreri<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Two\ninternational experts, Dr. Wilbert Phillips and Dr. Martijn ten Hoopen, in\ncollaboration with public and private cocoa sector partners, including the\nMinistries of Agriculture of both countries have prepared a Binational Early\nWarning Scheme and an Emergency Protocol for the Prevention of Frosty Pod. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/content.carib-export.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Emergency-planning-team-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-247929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.carib-export.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Emergency-planning-team-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/content.carib-export.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Emergency-planning-team.jpg 613w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption><em>The first ever frosty pod emergency plan field simulation excercise, held in the Dominican Republic, August 2019<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A first ever binational simulation of the\narrival of frosty pod and the protocols and quarantine measures to put in place,\nwas held in the Dominican Republic in August 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Haiti and the Dominican\nRepublic are well aware of the risk of frosty pod and are acting to counteract\nthis threat.
