Once the beans have been handled and dried into merchantable cocoa, they are sold by agriculturists to dealers, transported to processors who make semi-manufactured items. Essential developing districts are Africa, Asia, Latin America and most are developed by little, family-run ranches. Around 95% of beans are created on smallholdings beneath four hectares. Nations which deliver the foremost cocoa incorporate the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Brazil, Ecuador, and Nigeria.
