First sentence: When Hernan Cortes first set foot on what was to become Mexico, little did he think of one of the lasting effects of his arrival.
Description: "Starting with the history of European and North American development of cocoa, the book covers agronomics and marketing, the actuals and futures markets and their contracts, supply and demand of the product, its quality and its processing.

As the market continues to develop, all those in the chain of trade from the exporter, dealer and broker through to the factory owner have to improve not only their understanding of the market but also their appreciation of some of the difficulties faced by other market users. This book will help all involved in the international cocoa trade to achieve this."--BOOK JACKET.
