Brazilian farm workers Jose Carlos, 37, and Daniel Ferreira, 34, cut cocoa fruits at the Altamira farm in Itajuipe, Bahia state, Brazil, on December 13, 2019. Brazil was the second largest cocoa world producer in the 80's and is now organising to recover positions in the international market, aiming at luxury chocolate. A quality seal of Protected Geographical Indication was created in the south of Bahia state, making the activity profitable and promoting the development of the region. AFP / Rafael Martins
