- Due to the hardiness and productivity of the forastero trees, this inferior chocolate has since come to dominate the world market. since then, many thousands of crossings and backcrossings of the criollo and other cacao varieties have occurred, in addition to additional disease epidemics.

- Among them, there are the mechanisms of assimilation of forasteros into the communities of residence, the tensions involved in internal migrations, the power struggles within an indigenous society, and the impact of local political histories on the undermining of colonial authority during the years leading to the pan-Andean insurrections of the early 1780s.
OriginMid 19th century: from Spanish, literally 'foreign', because the tree was a ‘foreign’ import to Venezuela from the West Indies, as distinct from the criollo or native variety.
