About This Dataset
Cocoa Bean Production in Eight Selected Countries, 2023–2024
This chart compares cocoa bean production in eight selected countries in 2024. The original country selection is retained; it is not a complete world top-eight ranking, and omitted countries may exceed some entries. Values measure crop output, not exports, consumption, yield per hectare or production value.
Figures come from FAOSTAT’s Crops and Livestock Products dataset, processed by Our World in Data, with a source retrieval date of 25 February 2026. The observation year is 2024. Source tonnes are divided by 1,000 and rounded to three decimal places in thousand tonnes; rounding does not describe measurement uncertainty. Estimates can be revised. The chart also includes 2023 on the same FAOSTAT basis so you can compare changes. These annual figures are not ICCO October–September cocoa-year estimates.
Read the ranking within this selection. A larger crop alone does not establish higher farm productivity, income or export competitiveness.

Analysis
Ivory Coast leads this selection at 1890.442 thousand tonnes, followed by Indonesia at 632.702. Their ratio is about 2.99 to one. The eight displayed 2024 values sum to 4,581.605 thousand tonnes; this is a selected-country total, not global production. Ivory Coast changes from 1,822.441 in 2023 to 1,890.442 in 2024 (+3.7%). Changes compare the same source and country selection, not different cocoa-year forecasts.

How the figures are calculated
- Values use the measure and unit named on this page. Consult the dataset description and cited source for coverage, definitions and any unit conversions. Displayed values may be rounded for readability.
- Missing years are left empty rather than estimated — no interpolation, no carrying a previous year forward.
- Change is measured between the first and last year in which an entity actually reported a value, so a series that starts late is not penalised for the years before it existed.
- The compound annual rate is (last ÷ first)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, using those same two reported years.
- Entities are ranked highest-first on their value in 2024.
- An entity that reported nothing in the latest year is still listed — it follows the ranked entities in the table rather than being dropped.
