Welcome back to Down On The Farm, today on the channel we are going to feature The Top Cocoa Producing Countries In The World + other related news. Cocoa is the dried and completely fermented fatty seed of the fruit of the small evergreen cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao) that is native to the Amazon rainforest. The word ‘cocoa’ comes from the Spanish term ‘cacao,’ which has in turn been derived from the Nahuatl term ‘cacahuati.’ Cocoa is a valuable crop that was first cultivated in the equatorial region of South America approximately 5,300 years ago, and it is believed that the Mayan and the Aztec people were the first to grow the cocoa trees successfully. The cocoa trees are mainly grown in tropical zones about 20° to the north and south of the Equator, where favorable climatic conditions for the cultivation of cocoa trees are available. The cocoa beans serve as the main ingredients for making chocolates and many Mesoamerican foods. The following article discusses the top 10 cocoa-producing countries in the world.
