RAZIL exceeds all other Latin American countries by far in the exportation of cacao. The exportation of' 134,172 tons in 1936 was the largest to date, in the history of the country and was exceeded in world export only by the Gold Coast of Africa which exported in the same year 338,386 tons. (Since relatively small amounts of cacao are consumed in Brazil and the Gold Coast, export figures and production figures are practically the same.) Cacao grows wild in several regions of Brazil where natural conditions are favorable. Its commercial production is generally confined to the states of Amazonas of the Upper Amazon Basin, in Para' and Piaui' of the Lower Amazon Basin and to several selected areas on the coastal lowlands of eastern Bahia
