World`s supply of chocolate to run out by 2014
Saturday, January 29 2011
Nutty News Africa - Political unrest in the Ivory Coast, where 40 per cent of the worlds cocoa beans are grown, has significantly depleted the number of certified fair trade cocoa farmers. Many have fled the West African country, while fair trade training programmes have also come to a halt. The situation is already affecting chocolate manufacturers, who are facing the highest cocoa prices for over 30 years. Prices jumped by 10 per cent this month alone. Analysts are predicting they could soon hit $3,720 per metric tonne - a level last seen in January 1979.
