Cocoa beans are extremely fragile and need to be produced on farms in a safe place that doesn't affect the way of their growth. The process of making a cocoa bean is a long process, therefore loads of special attention needs to be put into making this so that it can be created into all sorts of products like chocolate, coffee or others. The major natural threat to cocoa beans would be GLOBAL WARMING. As the temperatures change and within the hotter countries there is more rain than sunlight, there would be a less chance of growing cocoa beans because they are not used to rapid weather changes.
