At Corridgeree Belize Ltd we understand the need for a commercial, results oriented focus when investing in sustainable tropical agriculture. We help companies improve productivity and livelihoods in developing countries but we are not just business advisors. We walk the talk at our farming operation in Belize where we have an integrated hydroponics and high density irrigated cocoa and vanilla production facility to be used as a laboratory to test out new ways to address long standing challenges in our sector.
