Market Definition
The cocoa or cocoa bean is the seed of the Theobroma cacao (cacao tree), a tropical plant native to the Americas' equatorial regions. Cocoa is the cacao tree's dried and fermented seed used to make cocoa liquor. This cocoa liquor is used to make cocoa butter and cocoa powder. Cocoa liquor is the primary raw material used in the production of chocolate. Cocoa products such as cocoa butter, cocoa powder and cocoa liquor, are widely used in the production of confections, as flavouring in beverages, as toppings in various foods, and as fillings in bakeries.
