1. Ivory Coast

Production: 1,448,992 tonnes

And, finally, we have come to the country that produces the most cocoa beans in the world. As you can see from the numbers, no other country is near to the Ivory Coast when it comes to cocoa production. What is interesting is that even though Ivory Coast is the biggest producer and exporter of cocoa beans in the world for years, most of its residents didn’t have the privilege to even try our favorite cocoa product – chocolate. Fortunately, this has changed when the first chocolate factory in Ivory Coast was opened. From the video below, you can learn more about the cocoa production in Ivory Coast, and what is more interesting you can see the Ivorian cocoa farmers tasting chocolate for the first time.
