Every day is #Chocolate Day obviously, but apparently today is #WorldChocolateDay. I've looked up my old feature on the troubles hitting chocolate and #coffee production and realised it's 11 years old already, will need to revisit that topic: proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2

That's a pretty concrete and immediate indicator. One year, not a decade. A radically raised price sticker down at our local grocery store.

The fact that each of those mega projects are based on thousands of clones of the same type of tree could leave the future fields vulnerable to diseases, which are very common in cocoa cultivation."
