????可可種植農(nóng)夫

????大部分的可可農(nóng)夫都在第三世界國家，例如多米尼加、厄瓜多爾、巴西、加納和馬來西亞。不過在過去15年里，有一些可可種植園也進入了夏威夷，還有專家認為在波多黎各也能種植可可。可可種植是一項勞動力密集型的工作，可可果必須逐一采摘，因為它們不是同時成熟的。不過，對于巧克力愛好者來說，在可可莊園里工作幾個月，是職業(yè)生涯很好的一個開端。資深巧克力從業(yè)人士稱，這項工作能讓人了解到巧克力制造的最源頭，也能將你引向巧克力制造的其他環(huán)節(jié)。

????Cacao farmer

????Most cacao farmers work outside the U.S. in countries like the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Brazil, Ghana, and Malaysia. But over the past 15 years, a few cacao orchards have been springing up in Hawaii, and experts say they are viable in Puerto Rico, too. Cacao farming is a labor-intensive process, and the cacao pods must be harvested individually because they do not all ripen at once. Yet for someone who's interested in chocolate, spending a few months at a "chocolate farm" could be an excellent career starter. The job brings people to the very beginnings of the chocolate-making process, and that can lead to opportunities elsewhere, veteran chocolatiers say.
