Cocoa

Provenance

Cocoa is primarily grown in West Africa, with Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana producing over 60% of the world’s supply. The tropical climates of these countries are ideal for growing cocoa, with plantations spread across their forested regions.

Impact

Cocoa is the key ingredient in chocolate production, making it a highly valuable commodity. The economies of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana are heavily reliant on cocoa exports, which also influence global chocolate markets.
