Abstract
The first serious attempts to cultivate cocoa in Grenada began around 1714, so the crop must have been introduced earlier (Cruikshank, 1970). A census taken in 1700 found that there were 150,000 cocoa trees planted on the island. The first record of cocoa being exported from Grenada was in 1763, when there were nearly 300 ha of land under cocoa cultivation. The dominant crop, sugar, occupied about 13,000 ha at that time.
