Soil conditions?
Cacao is being grown in a range of soil types.
Physical properties: The cacao tree is sensitive to a lack of water, so the soil must have both water retention properties and good drainage.
Chemical properties: The chemical properties of the topsoil are most important, as the plant has a large number of roots for absorbing nutrients.
