I’m always surprised when I come across posts and on-line communications stating that Indonesia is the world’s third‑largest cocoa producer. If you’ve ever wondered where such claims come from, you’re not alone. The answer depends entirely on which dataset you choose to trust.

The discrepancy isn’t random
