The table shows the production of cocoa beans in six regions from 1992 to 1998.

Given is an illustration that demonstrates how many tons of cocoa beans were manufactured over a six-year period between 1992 and 1998. Overall, it is transparent from the table that Africa was the most significant supplier of cocoa beans and maintain its domination over the period. Furthermore, what stands out from the illustration is that there are three regions that followed an upward trend namely the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia whereas South America and Oceania experienced a slight drop. To begin with, in 1992, Africa’s cultivation of cocoa beans was maximum with 1, 761, 000 tons, which is the highest figure compared to other areas. Notwithstanding missing the data in 1994, this region reached a peak at 1, 843, 000 tons in 1998. Following after with the same pattern, Asia and the Caribbean started at 96, 000 and 49, 000 tons of cocoa beans respectively. Six years later, despite mild fluctuations, Asia and the Caribbean witnessed a modest amelioration at 98, 000 and 68, 000. With regard to the downward trend region, during 1992, South America was the second-highest production in cocoa beans and is one of four areas that did not have the data, however, it oscillated and then decreased fractionally by 15 tons. It is undeniable that Oceania had the lowest productivity as opposed to the others at 41, 000 in 1992 and it gradually declined to 31, 000 at the end of the period. According to North and Central America, although this region underwent a violent oscillation, it remained stable at 50, 000 tons of cocoa beans in 1998.
