The International Cocoa Genebank, Trinidad (ICGT) is a ~100-acre field collection at Centeno, central Trinidad, established from 1982 and curated by the Cocoa Research Centre of the University of the West Indies. It conserves over 2,300 cacao accessions, including the ICS clones selected by F.J. Pound in the 1930s and material from Pound's Upper Amazon expeditions (1937-1942) via Marper Farm — making it the largest publicly held cacao germplasm collection in the world and a foundational reference for global breeding programmes.
