Where Does Chocolate Come From?

Cocoa beans grown by each country, from 1961 to 2024

Chocolate is made from the beans of the cacao tree, which only grows in warm, rainy places close to the Equator.
Most of the world's cocoa comes from West Africa, while many of the countries that eat the most chocolate cannot grow it at all.
A tonne is 1,000 kilograms, so one tonne of beans is enough for tens of thousands of chocolate bars.
