Cocoa Production Global market



Global Production

• Ivory Coast is the most important with 1.2 million tons per year

• 3,5 millions tons of cocoa collected per year in the world



How Cocoa is grown

One of the first steps in cacao

growing is to plant the tiny

trees. Most start their life in a

fiber basket or plastic bag, as

seeds from high-yielding trees.

The seedlings usually shoot

up quickly, and after a few

months (usually 6) they are

ready to be transplanted. They

will need at least three and

usually five years of pruning

and pampering to produce

pods filled with cocoa beans.

The delicate cacao tree

prefers to grow far beneath

the protective leaves of other

trees.

The benefits:

No need to remove the bags before planting as they will fully biodegrade

No plastic wastage

How Cocoa is grown

The cocoa tree (Theobroma) bears fruit on its trunk and

branches.

They are called pods.

The pods contain seeds which are called cocoa beans.

The beans are made up of a seed coat, a kernel and a germ.

The kernel of the cocoa beans is used to make cocoa and

chocolate.

Cocoa needs a high temperature, plenty of water, and air that

is always moist.

Cocoa is grown in the hot and humid regions of Africa (mainly

in forest regions),Central and South America, Asia and

Oceania.

The benefits :

Protection of the crops from

diseases and pests such as:

Phytophthora and Moniliophthora

are the most developed diseases.

In all major growing regions, an

estimated 30-40% of the crop is lost

to pests and disease such as

Fungal diseases.

Total Annual losses total

approximately $2 billion.

Packing & Transporting

Once the ship reaches its destination, the cocoa is removed from the hold and taken to

a pier warehouse.

Cocoa is stored in bags or bulk in the warehouse.

Cocoa is packed in bags of jute or sisal usually of a (gross) weight of 60 - 65 kg, rarely

of up to 100 kg.

Cocoa beans are also transported in containers using big bags or liner bags.

Alternatively, cocoa beans may also be transported on flat racks in ventilated holds.

Farmers

Approximately 90% of the World's cocoa is

grown in 5.5 million farms. These small farms

are generally family businesses.

The Ivory Coast and Ghana represent the

majority of the World cocoa’s production.
