The Ivory Coast is the world's largest cocoa producer. Major companies such as Nestle source its cocoa from this country. However, reports on unfavourable working conditions including child labour raises some concerns.

Cocoa plantation in Ghana contributes to 15% to the nation's GDP. Ghana is the second largest cocoa producer in the world after The Ivory Coast. Ghanaian cocoa is known for its high quality (Cadbury, n.d.), thus attracting major chocolate producers. However, between 2014 to 2018 cocoa farmers in the country were reported to smuggle the cocoa beans to and from neighbouring countries including The Ivory Coast, depending on the prices in those countries.
