tons to the square mile. With less than half the area of County Surrey, it is the fourth largest producer in the world. The first cacao planted in the Gold Coast was also brought from Fernando Po. This was as recently as 1879, but the development here has been amazing, and the Gold Coast now yields one-third of the total production of the world. The original cacao grown in the Cameroons also came most probably from Fernando Po.
While half the cacao produced in the world is grown in British Colonies, the British have had only a small share in the original planting. One instance, to their credit, not yet mentioned, is the case of Ceylon, in which cacao from Trinidad was planted in 1834.
A map of the world showing the twenty principal cacao-producing countries will be found on p. 29. The relative importance of the various producing areas is roughly indicated by the size of lettering.
