| | pod breaking, pod splitting | Explanation:
Cacao pods (cabosses) - the fruit of the cacao tree - are knocked from the tree and SPLIT, either by being struck expertly with a stick (preferred) or with a machete (with ensuant risk of damaging some of the seeds (cocoa beans) inside the pod), to release the seeds they contain.
ATTENTION : After fermenting to remove the mucilage, the BEANS (as opposed to the pods) themselves have to be shelled, dehulled or dehusked before crushing into nibs.
I rather think "décabossage" refers to the first operation.
[I am doing an increasing amount of work for the Michel Cluizel chocolate factory a short distance from here].
Gathers follow the harvesters who have removed the ripe pods from the trees. The pods are collected in baskets and transported to the edge of a field where the POD BREAKING operation begins. One or two lengthwise blows from a well-wielded machete is usually enough to SPLIT OPEN the woody shells. A good breaker can open 500 pods an hour.
