You will miss chocolate by 2020.

We all like chocolate, there might be few exceptions. Chocolate is a usually sweet and brown edible substance made from cacao. Chocolate is one of the most popular food types and flavour in the world. Much of the chocolate consumed today is sweet chocolate made from cocoa solids and cacao butter or other fats,sugar and milk usually flavoured with vanilla.

Africa is the greatest producer of the main ingredient of chocolate, Theobroma Cacao seeds. The farmers face real hardship cultivating cacao because of rock-bottom prices offered by buyers, diseases caused to cacao and biggest problem of all is when the trees age they yield less cacao. This make the farmers life less stable let alone prosperous, making them from deviating from cultivating cacao.

There is a rise in demand in  dark chocolate for which more cacao is needed to prepare and Africa is producing less cacao due to drought and Ebola disease. The fungal disease caused to cacao is called 'Frosty Pod' which has ravaged cacao production in central and south america wiping out 30-40 % production.

The recent reports said that the rate at which the world is consuming the chocolate is more than the rate of chocolate production so they are saying by 2020 there will be 1 metric tonne deficit. So right now it is the best idea to own a chocolate factory because in future chocolate have the power to be value in gold.
