a cup of cocoa.
By the 1943-4 season, with cocoa's commercial value rising, inflation replaced financial risk as the main obstacle to producer-price increases.
Nearly all exported products were primary commodities such as palm oil and cocoa, or copper and gold.
During the oil boom, high international coffee and cocoa prices and more favorable producer price policies encouraged forest clearing to plant coffee and cocoa.
If there is heterosis in cocoa and it is correlated with genetic distance, then its expression might have been strongest in this cross.
Whether the final product is seedlings or clones, sustainable progress in cocoa breeding depends on the identification of genetically superior individuals in segregating populations.
Given the well-established relationship between vigour and yield in cocoa, the desired rootstock influence is a positive change in 'yield efficiency'.
At the current stage of cocoa breeding, selection for adaptation to planting density is a higher priority than selection for yield efficiency.
The challenge facing cocoa breeders is to identify good parents for yield.
