The best varieties of cacao must be utilised because it is a crucial component in the manufacturing of chocolate in order to safeguard customer interests. The only reason the African species is currently in high demand for chocolate making rather for its flavour is because it is readily available. As a result, a genetic transfer from high-yielding and hardy African varieties to highquality cocoa breeds would presumably boost the year-round availability of high-quality cocoa beans as well...
