Cacao beans (also called cocoa beans) are fruit crops unlocked at experience level 36. They grow on cacao trees and can be harvested four times.
They are used as ingredients in several recipes, and chocolate in particular which takes the longest time to make in the game.
Like all crops, they are stored in the silo.
Harvesting cacao
The first harvest gives two cacao beans, the second one three, and the other two four. After the third harvest the tree wilts.
Tapping on the tree places a sign on it letting other players know the tree needs to be revived. Once it is, a last harvest can be done before the tree dies. A saw is then required to cut it.
Selling cacao

Boat orders
Boat
- Boat orders ask for 4 to 6 cacao per crate, up to a total of 24 per boat.
Strategy tips
- Each tree gives a maximum of 13 cacao beans in less than 6 days
- They are rare enough that selling them at a lower price is not recommended.
- Cacao is the least profitable of all tree crops, earning you a mere 3.8 coins per hour.
- Cacao beans are very hard to find in the Daily Dirt.
- Recipes ask for one to three beans so you need to have several extra trees to cover your needs. Extras can also be useful if you have boats with cacao crates.
