The table gives the information about how many cocoa beans produced in six regions: North and Central America, Africa, Asia, Oceania, South America and England during the period 1992 – 1998.
Overall, the amount of cocoa beans in Asia and Oceania increased consistently, with Asia recording the highest production amount. North and Central America and Africa experienced fluctuations, whereas production in England remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations. South America showed a noticeable increase by the end of the period.
At the beginning of the period, Asia produced around 119000 tons of cocoa beans in 1992, increasing sharply to 436000 by 1998. Although Oceania also experienced dramatic growth, the figure was much lower than Asia, rising at around 40000 tons in 1992 to 77000 tons in 1998. South America, on the other hand, remained almost unchanged at approximately 140 000 tons in 1992 and 1994, then reaching nearly 390 000 tons in 1998 after dropping slightly to 127 000 tons in 1996.
By contrast, the cocoa beans produced in North and Central America and England was relatively stable, producing 46 000 tons and 56 000 tons in 1992, rising gradually to 46 000 tons and 49 000 tons by 1998 respectively despite some minor variations. The figure for production in Africa began the timeframe with the smallest share among the other regions, at just 29 000 tons, falling noticeably to 25 000 tons by the end of the period after peaking at around 119 000 tons in 1996.
