70 inch TV’s here I come.....
Again? How many times are they going to run this scare up the flag pole?
Not a bit of truth to this story....S. America has lots....and ya dont have to deal with euros/africans..BONUS!
Does this make sense?
Running out and a shortage are two different things. I love chocolate but a shortage won’t necessarily cause me to panic.
I’ve heard this one many times before. So far, it’s never panned out.
And the problem is, if you stock up on chocolate, it’s EXTREMELY difficult to refrain from eating it.
In free markets, the supply and demand equation prevents you from running out of anything unless it is no longer produced at all.
We’ll be fine.
Chocolate Preppers.
Since “discovering” Lindt chocolate bars in a Winter Park candy shop moons ago, I have consistently been amazed at how they can be bought at normal stores for around $2.50 and deliver WORLD CLASS quality year in and out.
Conversely, several fancy chocolatiers have disappointed with their stale, extremely overpriced chocolate (Godiva and Neuhaus, I’m talking to YOU). Have to give props, though, to my latest discovery...Canada’s Roger’s Chocolate. Their Empress Squares and Victoria Cremes are superb.
(I am in complete denial re: the subject of this thread, lol. Does. Not. Compute.)
There’s plenty of land in Soutb American countries.
They should start planting.
Rosie O'Donnell must be on another binge.
This sounds like an opportunity for people in third world countries to make bank doing honest work. No problem seen here. More gummies given away for Halloween.
The total West African region supplies about 70% of the world’s cocoa and Côte d’Ivoire, which shares its western border with Liberia and Guinea, contributes almost 40%. While there have been some concerns that Ebola could reach Côte d’Ivoire, the rapid and strong reaction of its Government has kept the disease at bay so far, and the country has yet to register a single case. The main harvest for cocoa, which runs from October to March in Côte d’Ivoire, is currently well under way, and stakeholders are making all efforts to ship cocoa from the country as soon as it is available.

Rest easy, the level of Crap is rocketing!!
We can control the climate of the entire planet but we can’t make more chocolate?
That sucks.
If annual production deficits are going to keep rising until they reach a million metric tons in 2020, that must be one huge strategic chocolate reserve we have stashed away.
