About this listen

The Caribbean, once the world's cocoa powerhouse, supplied as much as 70% of global production before West Africa took over in the 20th century. Today, the region contributes less than 5% but has reinvented itself as a hub for fine-flavor cocoa, prized by artisan chocolatiers. The Dominican Republic leads in volume, while islands like Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, and Jamaica focus on premium beans. St. Lucia, with Hotel Chocolat’s investment, showcases the shift toward local processing and chocolate tourism, marking a new era for Caribbean cocoa.
