The Asia Pacific Chocolate Market would witness market growth of 6.7% CAGR during the forecast period (2020-2026). Cacao seeds can be harvested by hand as machines might cause damage to the trees. The pods are removed by workers and placed in large fermentation trays that are stacked and covered in banana leaves. The fermentation process helps produce the chocolate flavor and aroma. It also destroys the embryo of the seed, thereby preventing any unwanted germination. Chocolate, like other foods, is healthier when moderately eaten. The added sugars and fats to the chocolate contain a large number of calories, which may induce weight gain. In fact, much of the beneficial effects can be mitigated by heavy intake.
