Itdependson the size of the farmers cocoa plantation and how many trees he owns. It also depends on weather conditions and whether the trees are protected from bugs and fungi.
Farmers harvest cocoa beans by first inspecting the cocoa pods, which change color when ripe. Using machetes, they carefully cut the pods from the cocoa trees, taking care not to damage the branches. After harvesting, the pods are opened to extract the cocoa beans, which are then fermented, dried, and prepared for processing. This labor-intensive process is crucial for producing high-quality cocoa.

The Chocolate is not imported, the Cocoa is. This is imported the same way non Fairtrade Chocolate is. The difference is between Non Fairtrade Cocoa and Fairtrade Cocoa is that Cocoa Farmers who sell their Cocoa under Fairtrade are insured they get a Fairtrade Premium for their Cocoa which is used to go into Social projects, such as schools, Clean Water or gets reinvested back in to the Business. Price for Cocoa is usually set between Buyer and Cocoa Farmer or follows Market Price. But it ensures that they get paid a Fair Price by setting a minimum price. This ensures Farmers always have enough to buy supplies for the forth coming cocoa season, have enough to feed themselves and families and be able to send their kids to schools.
fair trade is such a hot topic because nowadays many people are very concerned about the environment and others for e.g. if you pay a cocoa farmer more of his cocoa beans he will have more money to look after the cocoa plants in their natural habitat and not have to cut down trees in the forest and will also use less fertiliser and pesticides, this will help save the environment.
