The table describes the amount of cacao beans produced across six regions such as North and Central America , Asia, Oceania, South America, and England from 1992 to 1998.
Body 1: The amount of cacao beans produced in Asia started at 119,000 tons in 1992, after which it witnessed a steady rise to 124,000 tons in 1990, before soaring to 234,000 in 1996 and reaching a peak of 436,000 tons in 1998. Similarly, the figure for Oceania was at 40000 tons in 1992, followed by a slow increase to 45000 tons in 1994 and then a dramatic growth to 65000 tons in the next 2 years before continuing to rise to end the period at exactly 77000 tons. By contrast, the figure for Africa was 29,000 tons in 1992, followed by a sharp increase to 119,000 tons in 1996, and then a dramatic fall to 25,000 tons by 1998.
143,000 tons of South America’s cacao production in 1992, with a subsequent slight decrease to 140,000 tons in 1994, followed by a significant decrease to 127,000 tons in 1996 and a final cacao bean yield increase to reach a peak of 389,000 tons. The figure for North and Central America fluctuated, and there was a slight recovery to 46,000 tons in 1998 after a temporary fall to 25,000 in 1994. Similar changes, but to a lesser extent, can be seen in the figures for England, which rose modestly from 56,000 to 67,000 tons in the first two years, before declining to 43,000 tons and ending the period at around 49,000 tons.
