Simon Nyamuchwangano, 71, has grown cocoa for the past 17 years, earning an average of Ush1.6 million ($449) per month from his 1.5-acre farm in Bundibugyo District in western Uganda.
But this year his fortunes took a dramatic turn for the worse earning him less than Ush100,000 ($28) a month after mired bugs and the cocoa pod borer infested his main source of income.
