Coordination
Supply Chain
Cocoa Supply Chain
The cocoa supply chain moves beans, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, and chocolate from tropical farms to global consumers, shaped by three root constraints: cocoa trees grow only within twenty degrees of the equator under specific humidity and shade conditions, most production comes from millions of smallholder farms under five hectares with minimal capital, and cocoa beans must be fermented within hours of harvest in a biological process that determines final flavor quality and cannot be corrected later.
Sugar Supply Chain
The sugar supply chain moves raw cane, beet sugar, refined white sugar, and ethanol from tropical and temperate farms to global consumers, shaped by three root constraints: sugarcane competes with ethanol for the same harvest, raw cane must be crushed within hours of cutting before sugar content degrades, and pervasive trade barriers mean the world market price reflects only the residual surplus after protected domestic markets have been served.
