The world's largest chocolate manufacturer - Swiss corporation Barry Callebaut Group - warned that by 2020 the world may remain a little this sweet product. Firstly, its consumption is constantly increasing, especially in Asia, and secondly, for the production of 5 years can be greatly reduced.
According to The Independent, Barry Callebaut Group Corporation explains supposedly coming shortage of chocolate - reduction of cocoa plantations. Those, in turn, has recently experienced an increasingly strong environmental and economic pressures.
However, the publication noted that similar manufacturer claims did 1 year ago, has played into their hands. The cost of chocolate in the world market has increased dramatically on a quarter.

22 July 2010:
(L) Everybody wants to know why this consortium bought up all the cocoa beans in Europe?
A: Once again the wishful thinking disease strikes!
Q: (L) What do you mean by that?
A: They actually think that people are going to care about chocolate!
Q: (Burma Jones) So they know that everything's about to fly apart and they’re just thinking, "Let's get this precious commodity before it happens!"
(L) Maybe they don't KNOW that things are going to totally fly apart. Maybe they think that some things are going to fall apart, and they think they're going to make a killing on chocolate. But they don't know how bad it's going to be because they've seriously underestimated what's going on.
A: It is not a good time to be a psychopath!
[...]
Q: (Perceval) And the thing is that what helped it along was when they sprayed that dispersant on it. That makes it sink. The oil would have stayed more or less on the surface if they hadn't done that. It's spreading it out a lot more. I suppose the first thing before a full ice age would be...
(Andromeda) There would be lots of droughts or downpours. (L) Floods. (Andromeda) Lots of precipitation, dirty rain. (Ailén) Acid rain.
(Andromeda) Then crop failure because of the acid rain.
(L) Falling ice.
(Andromeda) And then you get economies crashing.
(Perceval) That's the thing: if crops start failing in a big way, the economy will just be gone. So at the same time, you have no food and no jobs!
(Andromeda) And then we've got this stuff coming up from the inside of the earth. It's like the earth is having a fever or something. Chills and fever.
(Perceval) Imagine people where there are food shortages and people are starving...
(L) And somebody has chocolate! {laughter}
(Perceval) And then an earthquake or something on top of it!
(Andromeda) Not sure having chocolate is the greatest idea in a food shortage.
(Perceval) You can just see them planning... "What do people like? Chocolate! When people are hungry, what will they want? Chocolate! Let's corner the market on chocolate and coke! People will be crying out for it!"
(Ark) Well, maybe people will get sick with something, and these people will spread information that the chocolate is the antidote! {laughter}
And today was news that Poroshenko expected soon sell its chocolate business "Roshen"
