Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana account for 70% of the world's chocolate. However, in Ghana, the cocoa spit shoot virus has been plaguing the trees for more than 6 years. And there is no cure for the virus yet.
Of course, it is not easy to take possible precautions because if you replant the cocoa tree, you have to wait for the fruit for about 4 years. This is not to mention the fact that people who grow, collect and produce cocoa trees for the world are unemployed.
Chocolate, which is a staple in our homes, comes to our table through special processes. Cocoa trees, which grow under very special conditions, are not the kind of trees you can plant and grow in your garden, because humid and high rainfall areas are ideal for them.
