“…En Ecuador, las élites se ampliaron hacia el sector bancario con participaciones en los bancos Internacional, Territorial, Comercial y Agrícola, fundado en 1895, de Ecuador y muy tímidamente al sector industrial y comercial (Henderson P., 1997;Miño, 2008). Con excepción de la Familia Aspiazu que desarrolló participaciones en el Banco Comercial y Agrícola, el Banco de Ecuador y las compañías comerciales exportadoras e industriales de una incipiente economía en transformación, frente a una diversificación estrictamente financiera de las familias Morla, Seminario y Sánchez Bruno, que paulatinamente se alejaron del mercado cacaotero ante las dificultades de la política monetaria, la especulación, la volatilidad del precio, la estructura de cultivo mundial y el traslado de Londres a Nueva York como el principal puerto de importación de cacao (Close, 1959;Weiss, 1970).…”

Este artículo evalúa la transformación del consumo global de chocolate en el periodo previo a la Gran Guerra (1870-1914). La investigación revela que el consumo de chocolate, más allá de una relación causal del mejoramiento en el ingreso y la búsqueda de un mejor estatus social, emergió de una interacción continua de diversos elementos como la innovación chocolatera, el emprendimiento, el comercio, la banca, la economía política y la política imperial. Por lo tanto, el consumo de chocolate funcionó como un sistema abierto.

“…However, it has found application in areas where variables cycle such as business cycle analysis (Jagric, 2002, Englund, Persson & Svenson, 1992, Baxter, 1991and Diebold & Ruderbusch, 1990, commodity cycles (Rausser & Cargill, 1975, Weiss, 1975and Slade, 1982 and housing cycles (Clembout & Nefti, 1981, Wilson & Okunev, 1998. It has also proven particularly useful in examining relationships between variables that cycle (Grace & Hotchkiss, 1995, Pakko, 1994, Orlov, 2006and Rua & Nunes, 2005.…”

“…The experience of sub-Saharan Africa in dealing with commodity-price variability has been dealt with (Deaton and Miller 1995). Joseph Weiss has used spectral analysis to empirically identify cyclical patterns of world cocoa prices, arguing that the knowledge of certain cyclical patterns is essential to effective potential price stabilization policies on the world market (Weiss 1970). A model that derives an optimal hedging strategy for a producing country that is subject to variability in both the price and production of its output has been presented by Jacques Rolfo (1980).…”

The dynamics of the international economy, such as the 1930s fluctuations in the prices of primary commodities on the world market, affected Nigerian economy and society a great deal. Of all the commodity producers in Nigeria, cocoa farmers were the worst hit. This is because cocoa farmers depended on the world market for sale of their produce and were thus subordinated to the vagaries of the international economy. This study examines the Nigerian cocoa industry within the deglobalized capitalism of the interwar years in order to show why and how the fluctuations in commodity prices of the 1930s affected cocoa producers in Nigeria. Archival materials provided data for this historical reconstruction. The 1930s global fluctuations in the prices of primary commodities gave rise to wide fluctuation in cocoa farmers' incomes and fall in their purchasing power. There was also increase in cocoa tax regime, resulting in cocoa farmers' inability to, among other things, send their children to school and pay their fees and tax easily. The study is a contribution to knowledge on cocoa industry, commodity price fluctuations, and inter-war years.
