What is the cacao belt?
The cacao tree doesn't grow just anywhere; the conditions for it to grow include an altitude of 30m to 300m, an annual average temperature of 27ºC with minimal variations, and a minimum annual precipitation of over 1000mm. There is a select region of the world where this is possible: 20º North and 20º South of the equator is a zone conducive to the cultivation of cacao. This area is known as the "cacao belt."
