Cocoa is grown principally in West Africa, Central and South America and Asia. In order of annual production size, the eight largest cocoa-producing countries at present are Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Brazil, Ecuador and Malaysia. These countries represent 90% of world production.

In the early 1970s production was concentrated on Ghana, Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire and Brazil, but it has now expanded to areas such as the Pacific region, where countries like Indonesia have shown spectacular growth rates in production.

Although cocoa is largely produced in developing countries, it is mostly consumed in industrialized countries. For cocoa, the buyers in the consuming countries are the processors and the chocolate manufacturers. A few multinational companies dominate both processing and chocolate manufacturing.

The following graph represents the main consumers of cocoa, based on the apparent domestic cocoa consumption, which is calculated as grindings plus net imports of cocoa products and of chocolate products in beans equivalent.

Taking into account the data for the last 30 years it is possible to see that with the exception of eight years, there has always been a surplus of production. The following graph presents the supply and demand balance for the last thirty years, considering grindings as primary demand of cocoa beans.

We can find that the main exporters are also the main producers of cocoa beans. Although countries like Brazil and Malaysia are main producers, they are not necessarily large exporters due to the size of their processing industry, which absorbs local production. In Latin America for example, the Dominican Republic exports more cocoa beans than Brazil.

But Nigeria is one of the best producer and large exporters due to the higher population of the individuals in Cocoa farming.
