Submitted by admin on Sun, 11/11/2012 - 13:07

taken from <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2012/apr/05/chocolate-world-map"... You may be focussing on chocolate over the weekend - but where does it come from? A global trade analysed. In chocolate <a href="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2012/3/30/1333... <img src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2012/3/30/1333... width=650> </a> Chocolate is seriously big business. 2,650,342 tonnes of cocoa were shipped around the world in 2009/10, according to the latest data from the International Cocoa Organisation.

It shows interesting things, such as the Netherlands as a global focus of the cocoa trade. According to the ICCO, this is because: The cocoa industry in the Netherlands has traditionally been very active, with large cocoa processing plants from major international cocoa processors. A large share of the cocoa liquor, butter & powder produced from the raw beans is then exported The full data is below. What can you do with it?
