Cocoa Bean Production by Country, 2024
Key Findings
About This Dataset
Cocoa Bean Production by Country, 2024Values are converted from tonnes to thousand metric tonnes by dividing by 1,000, then rounded to one decimal place. For example, Côte d'Ivoire's source value of 1,890,442 tonnes becomes 1,890.4 thousand tonnes. The measure is harvested cocoa beans, not chocolate output, export revenue, yield per hectare or cocoa grinding.
The observation year is 2024 in the FAO production series. These values must not be combined with ICCO's October-to-September cocoa-season estimates: the reporting periods and source methods differ.
Coverage remains the eight countries shown. This is a historical production comparison, not a forecast or a complete ranking of every cocoa producer. Consult the linked dataset for other countries and source revisions; estimated agricultural observations should not be treated as exact counts.
The eight displayed values total about 4,581.6 thousand tonnes. Côte d'Ivoire contributes 41.3% of that selected total and produces about three times Indonesia's 632.7 thousand tonnes. Ghana follows with 530.0 thousand tonnes and Ecuador with 403.7 thousand. Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana together contribute 52.8% of these eight countries' total; that percentage is not a world share. These are production volumes, so the ranking does not establish export earnings, crop quality or farming efficiency.
