Today on RT I read this news (I do not know whether there it is the English version of the website):

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.

and I immediately remembered this session:

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"

funny, huh?

Revenue: USD 1 billion (2010)[2]
..

As of 2012, Roshen Corporation was ranked 18th in the "Candy Industry Top 100" list of world's largest confectionery companies.[3] It has a total annual production volume exceeding 410,000 tonnes.[1][5] It exports to Russia (stopped in July 2013), Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the United States, Canada, Germany and Israel.[5] Before Russia stopped its imports in July 2013, 40 percent of the company's grosses came from Russia.[6]
..

Since March 2013, Roshen began co-production with a contract manufacturer in Hungary.[7][8]

Since July 2013, Russia has banned all Roshen imports due to unsatisfying packaging labelling
..
According to the 17 December 2013 Ukrainian-Russian action plan by 1 March 2014 Roshen products should have been back in Russian stores.[12] But on 12 March 2014 acting head of the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare Anna Popova stated that Ukraine had not yet fulfilled their requirements to return Roshen products to the Russian market.[13]

..
Late March 2014 the Roshen factory in Lipetsk (Russia) was closed down and its local manager director charged with "conspiring with unnamed others to use a registered trademark illegally to extract additional profits".[14] Ukraine and the factory workers suspected the factory was closed because of Roshen's owner Petro Poroshenko involvement in Euromaidan and his participation in the 2014 Ukrainian presidential election.[14]

According to Reuters some of the Roshen factory workers in Lipetsk felt embarrassed to work for Ukrainians "swept up in a wave of Russian patriotism since Moscow annexed Crimea" and gossiped about rumors of how the management "paid Ukrainians more money and were cheating the Russians".[14] On 13 May 2014 Russia banned the sale of Roshen products in Crimea.[15]

Porky lost whopping 400 million dollars in a very short time(just from Russia alone) from greed and credibility too. Will he sell the business to Russian?.
