Temperature

For the cocoa cultivation the right temperatures are essential. The tropics are optimal for the cocoa tree: constantly warm all year round - at about 20 - 25° C and humid. Longer times below 15° C and the cocoa will die. The amount of rain at the equator is so high because the strong sunlight produces a high evaporation and excess moisture, which is released again in the form of rain.
