Where does chocolate come from in Africa?
Chocolate comes from the cocoa bean, which is native to the Amazon rainforest in South America, not Africa.
While Africa is a major producer of cocoa beans, the origin of the plant itself is in South America. The beans were brought to Africa by the Spanish and Portuguese during the colonial era.
Today, Ivory Coast and Ghana are the top two producers of cocoa beans in the world, accounting for over 60% of global production.
