Abstract

In this work, physical characteristics of the cocoa bean of great importance from the point of view of productivity and yield at the time of processing have been evaluated, such as bean index and percentage of the shell. The analyses were carried out from March to June during the months of the COVID -19 pandemic. In Colombia, the region with the highest cocoa production is the so-called Santandereana mountain, which is located between the warm and temperate thermal floors where cocoa is grown between 200 and 1200 meters above sea level in the departments of Santander and Norte de Santander.  The monitoring and analysis of the two variables were recorded in the 2019 main harvest for the FSV41 clones, the FEAR 5, the FLE 2, and as a reference, the CCN51, the bean index, and the percentage of husk were determined according to the established methodology, having as a result that the evaluated clones have a medium bean index and a medium husk percentage.
