Growing Coconut and Lime Trees on Degraded Land in Belize

TexBel, a leading coconut water and citrus company in Belize, is transforming degraded lands using an agroforestry model that intercrops coconut and lemon trees. By renovating orchards affected by HLB disease, the company strengthens agricultural resilience, protects rural livelihoods, and increases the income of smallholder farmers through a robust outgrower program. With financial support from Moringa, TexBel has built the country's first large-scale coconut water processing plant, boosting the export of fresh, sustainable products. Global GAP certified, the company promotes responsible agricultural practices and seeks to expand a sustainable coconut and citrus industry throughout Belize.
