Cocoa Origin DistributionThe cocoa crop is native to Central America and prefers a warm and humid growing environment. It is currently widely distributed in various tropical regions. The main producing areas are West Africa, Central and South America, Southeast Asia and other regions. It is also cultivated in small quantities in Hainan and Yunnan in my country. Cocoa production and economic benefitsCocoa is a high-yield crop. If about 1,000 trees are planted per acre, the yield per acre can reach about 4,000-5,000 kilograms. Note that the planting density should not be too high, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plants and reduce the yield. The current market price of cocoa is around 1,500 francs per kilogram. Compared with previous years, it has been on a continuous rise. The trading volume in the international market has increased, the demand has only increased, and the price has been rising all the way. Therefore, the economic benefits of growing cocoa are very good. |
