Comment on land area
110 ha under exploitation in 2010, CIRAD 2015 data states 126ha- however it is not clear if this expansion occurred in 2015 or beforehand. Mapathon 2020 confirms 126ha in 2019. But the surveys conducted in July 2022, mentions 64ha in production. According to the mapping done on google Earth, the area of the polygon under contract is 126.42ha in 2019 and 214.14ha in 2022. As for the size of the polygon in production, we measure an area of 126.42ha in 2023.
