The Cocoa Pod Borer (CPB) Challenge in Cocoa Farming
Understanding the impact of pest infestation and how Nibsy’s GreenBite helps restore healthy cocoa production in Papua New Guinea.
🐜 Field Observation: Fire Ants and Cocoa Pod Borer (CPB)
Fire ants were first introduced as biological control agents to help manage the Cocoa Pod Borer (CPB) pest in cocoa plantations.
The idea was that these ants would prey on CPB larvae and pupae, reducing pest damage naturally.
However, while the approach worked to some extent, it also created new challenges for cocoa farmers. The fire ants became aggressive toward people, frequently biting and stinging workers as they managed and harvested their cocoa blocks. This made field work difficult and unsafe for many farmers.

🌿 How GreenBite Helps Resolve the Problem
The introduction of GreenBite insecticide has provided an effective and sustainable solution for cocoa farmers.
It successfully reduced fire ant populations that had become a hazard in the fields, while also lowering Cocoa Pod Borer (CPB) infestations and overall pest activity.
Through field use, farmers have observed healthier pods, improved yields, and safer working conditions, with a noticeable decline in pest-related damage and disruptions.
GreenBite continues to demonstrate its value as part of a practical, environmentally conscious approach to cocoa crop protection.
