Ivory Coast Cocoa Production

Ivory Coast is the world's leading producer of cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate. The country has vast plantations where farmers grow cocoa trees, which produce pods containing cocoa beans. These beans are harvested, fermented, dried, and then processed into chocolate products. The industry is a crucial part of Ivory Coast’s economy, providing employment and income for many farmers. Cocoa farming faces challenges like climate change, pests, and fluctuating global prices, but the country continues to invest in sustainable and quality improvements to maintain its top position in production.
