Difficult weather conditions and disease have affected production in West Africa, which produces about 70% of the world’s cocoa. The two largest producers, Ivory Coast and Ghana, have been hit by a combination of heavy rain, dry heat and disease recently.
Late last year, heavy rain and the spread of black pod disease in the two countries affected farming, according to a November report from the International Cocoa Organization. Poor road conditions also made it difficult to bring the available beans to port, according to the report.

Tbf, cultured meat is going to be a thing, and it’s better than killing animals for food. However, there won’t be any to kill because climate change would have killed them all, so I guess it’s not really a big win in the long run.
