Cacao!!! up what do we know about this product?
Did you spell that first word correctly or inadvertedly add an "o" ?
Without the "o" it is definitely organic.
Are insect pests and spray a problem with growing cacao?
The first time I saw a cacao tree, it looked really weird, with the fruit popping straight out of the trunk. And then the cacao pods start out green and change color about four more times. Not at all like an apple or a pear tree.

Cacao is a very delicate product and requires high maintenance. Certain diseases such as Black Pod Rot has cut into world wide production which has brought about the recent high prices of chocolate.
There is a Modern Marvels video on the History Channel about the history of chocolate. It would provide insight of its farming and marketing.
