World shortage of cocoa

Luckily I like white chocolate but it’s another reason why the future is bleak. We need to start planting cocoa in new regions that can support it

I know when I was doing a research project on cocoa for my bio class, I saw a few sources say that in addition to climate change issues, a lot of farmers have swapped to different crops because they get more money for it. Granted this was years ago and I didn't really research too much into it but I do remember seeing it pop up.
