Trivia
The origin of cacao is the Upper Amazon basin area of South America. From there, it spread outwards to the east. This the mirror images of coffee, which originated in Africa (Ethiopia) and then traveled westward.
In one year, the world can produce 3 million tons of cacao, which is less than half the coffee crop.
