• 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.
