Tunisian cactus farmers are losing the battle to cochineal

Agave & Cactus Talk

Today, i talk about cactus farming in Tunisia. I mention some of the problems they are encountering and some lessons that California and global Cactus can learn from this particular problem. As more farmers around the world begin to plant cactus, they should learn from case studies in tunisia, mexico, and brazil. Much like in agave, Africa is a large cactus producing region, so it was interesting for me to brainstorm how I'd attack this issue in Tunisia as well if they called me one day. If you have questions, as always, hit me up here with a comment or on IG(farmingandgardeningcalifornia) or Youtube (Agavero Californiano).
