Cacao

An interesting article from The New York Times:


"Venezuelan cacao beans have been coveted by high-end chocolate makers around the world since the 17th century. But cacao farmers today struggle against a daunting bureaucracy and emboldened squatters."



Venezuela produces very fine cocoa beans, though that production has been given less priority since the country's government focused on oil production.
