Chocolate or cocoa is becoming an engine of national economic growth in many parts of the world, particularly in Indonesia. By 2012, although a number of countries in the target export areas had been affected by economic crisis, it was obvious that the world demand for chocolate had increased significantly.In fact, a more than twofold rise in demand was reported, compared to previous years, and it is predicted to continue to increase,reaching more than 15 percent of total global production. The demand for cocoa beans has grown as well (Guest, 2013).
