National Cocoa Research Institutes
There are a number of cocoa growing institutes based in cocoa producing countries. E.g. the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG) and the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) or the Cocoa Research Centre (formarly known as Cocoa Research Unit - CRU) in Trinidad. These institutes provide technical and contextual knowledge on growing cocoa.
Universities & Knowledge Institutes
There are several universities and knowledge institutes working on technical issues in cocoa which are not based in cocoa producing countries. Private R&D departments, specialized cocoa research centers and universities provide a lot of knowledge on for example technologies to combat pest and diseases. They often work together with national institutes, and are located in many places in the world.
