Palm oil, coffee beans, and cocoa beans are the agricultural sector's leading commodities with high competitiveness in international markets and contribute significantly to exporting countries' economies. This research aims to determine the impact of climate change (changes in the ann...
Cacao trees are grown in regions within 10 degrees north and south of the equator where the climate is ideal for itscultivation. The crop — the raw, unprocessed form of cocoa beans — has two primary harvest periods in Western Africa: the main crop harvest from September to March and ...
for example, while climate change will likely have “great impacts" on cocoa (可可粉) production in West Africa. “High quality chocolate will be less available in the future, and if you want it, you'll have to pay a lot more for...
Ever wonder why chocolate is only produced in some parts of the world? What’s interesting is that cacao trees only flourish in the “cocoa belt”. Most people know that chocolate comes from cocoa beans, and in turn, cocoa beans come from cacao trees. ...
For example, in soybeans, the reproductive stage, specifically the grain filling and pollination stages, is found to be more sensitive in terms of affecting the yield (Wang et al., 2023). Likewise, it has been observed that drought and extreme variation in the PT pattern can affect ...
The chocolate that enfolds our own Scottish break-time treat started life as cocoa beans in Ghana. These beans are used to produce both cocoa butter and cocoa liquor, with on-farm emissions (mainly due to the use of nitrogen fertilisers) and the processing phase (due to diesel use for ...
sorghum and pigeon pea (Willy1983; Wang et al.2010). Latin American farmers grow their 70–90% of the beans with maize, potatoes and other crops (Francis1986). Wheat–maize intercropping combined with conservation agricultural practices can be used for reducing CO2emission and increasing crop ...
3). We classified them as cereals (maize, rice, grain (general), wheat, millet, sorghum barley and teff), legumes (soybean, chickpeas, cowpea, common beans, mung beans and groundnut), vegetables and fruits (tomato, eggplant, pepper, cocoa, mango, clover, garlic, mustard, pea, onion, ...
Climate change threatens West Africa’s cocoa sector due to rising temperatures and unpredictable rainfall, exacerbating concerns for environmental de
“We’re looking for similar breeding innovations,” she said, “we’re watching the Starbucks program closely.” Coffee is not the only crop threatened by climate change, of course.Drought, freeze or heavy rains can devastate yieldsacross agricultural products fromcocoatograpes. And extreme weathe...
