Economy Chocolate prices double as Cocoa shortages hits the world before Valentine's Day

[LeonardoBjj]

Couldn't care less about chocolate, since I don't have much of a sweet tooth. It's always a bad day if I run out of coffee though. At least Brazil, Colombia and Ethiopia are supposed to be producing more this year. Vietnam mostly produces robusta, although Indonesian production dropping an estimated 18% will certainly increase prices on the beans I enjoy.

- Coffe is already expensive here. THe price got a hike on the last years.

Is that based on increased global pricing or has local production also fallen short of the expected increase from last year?

crawfish too, its about to go up to unprecedented levels and it won't come back down, most things are getting more expensive than we are used to. I remember paying under a dollar for gas.

Good, more motivation to abandon colonial addictions.
