Cocoa Bean Production by Country, 1990-2024

About This Dataset

Cocoa Bean Production by Country, 1990-2024
Ivory Coast grows more cocoa than the next three countries combined, and together with Ghana accounts for well over half the world's supply. That concentration is why West African weather and West African farmgate prices drive the global chocolate market, and why disease or drought in a single region can move cocoa futures to record highs. Ecuador and Peru have both expanded fast, largely in fine-flavour varieties that sell into a different market from the bulk West African crop.
