Philippines used to produce about 20\% of the world's cacao \cite{CacaoPH_Production}. However, pests and diseases plagued the farms during the 1980s, leading to the fall of the Philippine cacao market. Nowadays, the world’s cacao demand is supplied by Ivory Coast (38\%), Ghana (21\%), Indonesia (13\%), Brazil (4\%), Malaysia (1\%) \cite{krishnamoorthy2013effect}. The Philippines accounts for only less than 0.5\%.   %%  \textit{Suggested Additions:} \\ - by-products of cacao \\  - economic impact of the fall of cacao industry %%
