Cocoa Processing: Map
The map above shows the spatial distribution of the top cocoa bean processing countries and the spread of the amount of cocoa beans that each country processed in 2011-2012. As shown in this map, the countries that process cocoa are very similar to the countries that produce it (see choropleth map #1), with South America, West Africa and a small part of Asia all being both producers and processors, however in this map, it shows that North America and a small part of Europe are also leading cocoa bean processing countries.
