Cacao production regions

Cacao production regions are primarily located in West Africa (such as Ivory Coast and Ghana), Central and South America (including Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru), and Southeast Asia (notably Indonesia and Malaysia). These regions have warm, humid climates with rich, well-drained soils ideal for cacao trees. Factors like rainfall, temperature, and altitude influence cacao quality and yield. Farmers in these areas cultivate cacao for chocolate production, with each region producing beans with distinct flavors influenced by their local environment. The global demand for chocolate makes these regions key players in the international cocoa supply chain.
