Lindt Chocolate Factory Tour: Hidden World Of Cocoa Cultivation
362
Published 2024-04-21
Cocoa trees grow exclusively in areas that meet certain specific conditions. The cocoa belt is an area of land around the equator between 20 degrees latitude north and south. Most cocoa even grows within 10 degrees of the equator.
The soil has to be fairly loose and the climate humid. Temperatures must be between 18 and 30 degrees Celsius, with precipitation fairly constant and minimally 1,000 mms per annum. Cocoa trees must not receive too much sun, nor too much shade. Cocoa cultivation is possible up to about 1,000 metres above sea level, but most cocoa is grown below 300 metres.
The cocoa producing countries
Cocoa cultivation initially spread into the immediate vicinity of the original habitat of the cocoa tree: from Brazil and Mexico to Central America and the Caribbean area. In the sixteenth century, the Spanish introduced cocoa to the Indonesian archipelago, as well as to West Africa, which now accounts for more than half of the yearly world crop. In Southeast Asia, production has also markedly increased.
Cocoa is grown in more than thirty-five countries. The cultivated area covers between 3.5 and 4.5 million hectares. This area yields an annual production of approximately 3,5 million tons of cocoa beans. The most important producing countries of cocoa beans are:
Ivory Coast 2.019 thsd tons
Ghana 970 thsd tons
Indonesia 290 thsd tons
Ecuador 270 thsd tons
Cameroon 240 thsd tons
Brazil 174 thsd tons
Nigeria 230 thsd tons
Peru 110 thsd tons
Dominican Republic 75 thsd tons
