Hawaii is very likely the only state in the US that can support commercial cacao production.
The cacao industry faces many problems outside of Maui, Hawaii, including environmental issues that Hawaii does not face. Economic challenges, human rights violations, pest, diseases, climate change, low soil fertility, high soil cadmium levels, and the ongoing Russia-Ukrainian conflict. Under the current production system, cacao farmers in most of the major producing countries have low productivity and poor livelihoods.
The majority of the world's cacao is produced in West Africa, primarily on the Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Cameroon and Ghana, which make up over 70%. According to available information, cocoa prices nearly tripled in 2024, with some reports stating an increase 200% to 300%, reaching record highs of close to $12,000 per metric ton due to significant supply shortages in key producing regions.
