Which of the following countries are well known as the two largest cocoa producers in the world?

  1. Algeria and Morocco
  2. Botswana and Namibia
  3. Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana
  4. Madagascar and Mozambique
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana

Answer: C. Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana are the world's two largest cocoa producers. Côte d'Ivoire alone produces about 40% of global cocoa, and Ghana about 20% — together over 60% of world output. The cocoa belt lies in West Africa within ~10° of the equator, where high humidity and steady temperatures suit Theobroma cacao. The other options name regions that produce little or no cocoa: Algeria/Morocco (Mediterranean climate), Botswana/Namibia (semi-arid), Madagascar/Mozambique (modest cocoa production but not top-two).
