katch wreck"Plant pathologist Karina Peres Gramacho, who works for CEPLAC, believes there are risks to the plans for extensive cocoa fields in Western Bahia.The fact that each of those mega projects are based on thousands of clones of the same type of tree could leave the future fields vulnerable to diseases, which are very common in cocoa cultivation."<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/brazils-would-be-cocoa-king-aims-revolutionize-industry-with-giant-farm-2025-04-22/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/brazils-would-be-cocoa-king-aims-revolutionize-industry-with-giant-farm-2025-04-22/</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cocoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cocoa</a>

The Japan TimesA dramatic spike in the price of cocoa is easing after years of shortages.

Steve's PlaceI don't know why I'm surprised. Hershey's 100% cocoa and Ghirardelli 100% cocoa are very different. Hershey's is processed with alkali and is dark in color, with a flavor resembling their dark chocolate bars. Ghirardelli's is lighter in color and tastes like any of their chocolate bars. The Hershey's version was not available, so I bought the San Francisco treat. I wonder if that's because of tariffs. Hershey's chocolate is made in Mexico now.<a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/cocoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cocoa</a>
