At the time of independence, Portuguese-owned plantations occupied 90% of the cultivated area. After independence, control of these plantations passed to various state-owned agricultural enterprises. The main crop on São Tomé is cocoa, representing about 95% of agricultural exports.
The islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, situated in the equatorial Atlantic and Gulf of Guinea about 300 and 250 kilometres (190 and 160 mi), respectively, off the northwest coast of Gabon, constitute Africa's second-smallest country. Both are part of the Cameroon volcanic mountain line, which also includes the islands of Annobón to the southwest, Bioko to the northeast (both part of Equatorial Guinea), and Mount Cameroon on the coast of Gulf of Guinea.

São Tomé is 50 km (30 mi) long and 30 km (20 mi) wide and the more mountainous of the two islands. Its peaks reach 2,024 m (6,640 ft) – Pico de São Tomé. Swift streams radiating down the mountains through lush forest and cropland to the sea cross both islands. The Equator lies immediately south of São Tomé Island, passing through the islet Ilhéu das Rolas. I’ll be posting more from this extraordinarily beautiful place over the next few days, documenting small holder cacao farmers producing organic, Fairtrade cacao from this island formerly known as the chocolate island #saotome @wefeedtheworld #saotome #chocolate #farming #conserving #organic #valuechain #africancocoa #womenempowerment #coops #becorp #fairtrade #farmers #smallholderfarmers @divinechocolateuk to see more from here follow me here @chancellordavid @thephotosociety @ナショナルジオグラフィック
