Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the fascinating history of cacao, a crop cultivated in the Americas long before Europeans arrived. The author traces cacao's origins to the ancient Mayans and Aztecs, who considered its beans a valuable form of currency, then details its spread to Europe and the subsequent rise of the global chocolate industry, shaped in part by the Gold Coast becoming a major producer of cacao beans. The book also discusses the diseases and pests that have plagued cacao, and the efforts made to overcome them. The author also highlights the various ways cacao is marketed, the methods used to prepare it for market, and the role of government in the cacao industry. The book concludes by examining efforts to improve cacao production and quality, and the significance of these efforts. It's an insightful analysis of the many dimensions of the global cacao industry, from its historical significance to its current challenges and future prospects.
