Economic (Cocoa)
Cocoa is a crop grown largely by smallholder farmers in the lowland tropics, including parts of Latin America, West Africa, and Indonesia. Worldwide, there are approximately 5-6 million cocoa farmers. Every year 3 million tons of it are produced. For the past 100 years, the demand for cocoa has steadily increased by 3% each year. This industry's current global market value of annual cocoa crop is $5.1 billion. In conclusion, the production of cocoa allows many jobs, products, and is a large income for the world.

Plant/Insect interaction
The pictures above represent a plant and insect interacting. Both bees and flowers benefit from this process. Just as bees depend on nectar and pollen for their continued existence, gardens depend on bees for their own survival. When bees fly from flower to flower, the pollen clings to them and is distributed to other flowers, thus encouraging flower growth.
