History, tradition and origin
Cacao was first cultivated in Mesoamerica, where the Maya and Aztecs drank it bitter and spiced and used the beans as money. Spain sweetened it, and it stayed a drink for the wealthy until nineteenth-century inventions produced cocoa powder, solid bars and milk chocolate. Brownies are an American creation of the 1890s, and chocolate truffles come from France and Belgium.
Food economy and industry
About two thirds of the world's cocoa is grown in West Africa, mainly Ivory Coast and Ghana, on small family farms. Low farmer incomes, child labour and deforestation are long-standing problems that certification and traceability programmes try to address. Cocoa prices reached record highs in 2024 after poor harvests.
