Only mid May and everyday is now a new all time heat record in South Florida. Crops are struggling.
"Give Me Chocolate Or Give Me Death!"
As global weather rapidly changes, all foods will see these problems. Massive food shortages will be the first victim of human caused rapid global warming.
The same is true with coffee beans. My two needed addictions. I'm not ready for the experimenting of lab grown coffee and cocca.😕
im stocking up on 70% cocoa chocolate!
Chocolate prices will definitely be affected due to Stockmarket Trading.
With all due respect, this is over a 100% wholesale price increase per ton and I doubt that this is due to a sudden crazy climate change in two different African nations in one year. I respectfully suggest digging deeper.
Chocolate cartel.
I didn't watch the video. Did they mention that cocoa pods in some regions have been devastated by a fungus?
Fungus and bad weather is part of it, and the video goes into it, yes. But it's always a case of companies colluding to keep their profits. They talk about "belt-tightening" at one company, but it's always been another commodities problem: when prices rise, some portion is market manipulation.
There’s no good chocolate in the U.S. anyway. Easy for me not to eat it.
everything is more expensive dude, its called inflation.
Chocolate is not an essential.
My soul says otherwise... My stomach? Not really lol!!!
so - we wait for 2K temperature anomaly. May be it's essential enough then.
Tell that to every female about to be or currently on the rag.😅😂😂
Chocolate is not what you need everyday.
Nice going Democrats!
Yeah, thanks Joe Biden for ruining chocolate. 😅
@@brianduncan3900 yep
Inflation is global, has nothing to do with your Democrats!
You obviously did not watch the video. Democrats have nothing to do with this and many other price increases...
Bidenflation
😂😂😂 because of let’s go Brandon 100%
