Cocoa, an important global commodity, has shown declines in production due to various factors, among them the low rate of natural pollination. The combination of self‐incompatibility and a specialised floral morphology makes cocoa production completely dependent on insect pollinators. Considering the high dependence of cocoa on pollinators, its economic importance and the lack of studies exploring the global distribution of its pollinators, this study aimed to conduct a bibliographic review of research on cocoa pollination to analyse the spatial distribution of studies and pollinators, identify key pollinators, and highlight knowledge gaps. For this purpose, scientific data repositories such as Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar were utilised. Based on the data obtained, a spatial network of identified pollinators was built. To identify key pollinators in the network, degree, betweenness centrality (BC) and closeness centrality (CC) were calculated. A total of 30 articles out of 157 attended our criteria and were included in the analysis. The publication years ranged from 1950 to 2024. The countries with the highest number of studies were Ghana (20%) and Indonesia (16.6%). The network recorded a total of 39 links between 13 countries and 13 pollinators. Flies of the genus Forcipomyia were classified as key pollinators of cocoa flowers. Ants, stingless bees and aphids also have great potential to act as pollinators. The adoption of friendly agricultural practices that favour the populations of these pollinators is essential to ensure pollination services and consequently improve cocoa yield and quality.
