Winston Campbell leads a 30-member cocoa group in St. Mary, Jamaica.
Mapping as a team
During Module 1, the group walked every boundary with a phone GPS app. "It took three Saturdays," he laughs.
Ready when asked
When an export buyer requested traceability evidence, the group's plot maps and records were already prepared.
The boundary
"The Academy trains us. JAPAC-GAP audits us. We know the difference," Winston says.
Completion ≠ Certification. Training readiness only — certification decisions are made independently by JAPAC-GAP.
