The world will not run out of chocolate.

It will just be more expensive, which is just rationing-by-price, a most effective way of realigning supply with demand.

That is, if some government does not jump in and put a price freeze on chocolate, which would GUARANTEE almost complete removal from the market.

There is also the possibility that the claim, “the world is running out of chocolate, is based upon a desire for a price increase by producers; i.e. an artificial shortage like meat, gas, ice cream.(Try to buy a 1/2 gallon of ice cream they only sell 1.75 quarts.) The so called “Free Market” exists only in the minds of the delusional.
