Dangling from the Theobroma Cacao tree, the cacao bean lies unsuspectingly inside the tree’s seed pods thriving in the wet warmth of the rainforest. Evidently this is why areas such as East New Britain Province, East Sepik Province, Madang and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, with their ideal rainforest environs and rich fertile soil, provide the perfect habitat for cacao seeds to flourish.
