For all such various details, I recommend the book "The Emperors of Chocolate" by Brenner [2000] that goes into some detail regarding cocoa bean harvesting besides the background of both the Hershey and Mars companies; all sorts of fascinating stuff.
Sodar is extremely unlikely precisely because of its poor communications, ie transportation to get the beans out quickly makes it doubtful its a major producer, besides the likelihood of being too high if the climate weren't also off [alongside or near rivers are where you'll find cocoa bean trees which are extremely sensitive to their environment and pests etc], from the probability of a central continental plateau versus coastal lowlands where the cocoa beans generally prosper, though there are higher altitude varieties.
Obviously, mixing different beans can produce similar popular flavors, when those plantations are destroyed by pests.
There is also textev for Corisande chocolate, IIRC.

But where are the cocao beans grown?
Switzerland produces Swiss Chocolate, and Barvaria produces Barvarian Chocolate; but neither locale can grow Cocoa.
The various chocolates are the cocoa butter content percentage.
