If Country A has an absolute advantage in producing both cars and cocoa compared to Country B, then Country A should produce both goods and not engage in trade.

Having an absolute advantage means that Country A can produce more of both cars and cocoa than Country B using the same resources. However, this doesn't mean Country A should produce both goods by itself. Instead, Country A should focus on producing the good it makes most efficiently compared to the other good, while Country B should specialize in what it produces best. For example, if Country A is much better at making cars than cocoa, and Country B is better at cocoa production, they can trade to benefit both. By specializing and trading, both countries can end up with more goods than if they tried to produce everything themselves.
