Cocoa Prices Reached All-Time Highs. What Does That Mean For Our Halloween Chocolate? | Big Business

[@processarea91]

Such a well-made video! It breaks down complex issues like cocoa pricing in such an engaging way - definitely learned a lot!

[@rositavalentine4531]

This is sad. People's greed will get them nowhere. When there's no more gold to mine and they look back at the land they've destroyed-a land that was once rich, they will realise it was not worth it

[@RealShaktimaan]

No they'll realize it was worth it and move somewhere else

[@rositavalentine4531]

Money, gold, silver, or whatever precious material will have no weight if there's nothing to spend it on. When there's no longer resources on earth because we overmined or polluted it, we will look on at a wasteland and yearn for what once was.

That dude is hardcore for not selling to foreign countries. Big praise to him. What a legend

That's craazy-- they took her land and cut down the trees? Lawlessness...

[@jermainec2462]

Its sad ...

[@SproutGardenusa]

What an excellent narrator! They turn even complex topics into something easy to understand.

[@TohruMarie]

The way that man lit up talking about his job and the candy, that was pure joy or snow idk lol I adore these videos. Its like an alarm for my brain, lets learn something today!!! This was a really good one.

[@kaishmuper]

"we make enough chocolate in four days to equal the weight of the statue of liberty" americans will measure with anything but the metric system

[@jermainec2462]

You will be ok ...

[@jermainec2462]

@@anomonyous and of course you didn't understand none of the sarcasm in this statement ... So carry on ...

[@BH-yk5cn]

the Metric system is what holds the rest of the world back. You need proof I made it the F up.

[@novelnouvel]

good grief, if they also measure the people that enter the statue, the weight will be double.

[@ziaurrehman4430]

I started the video and just after i heard this sentence i was like okkkkkkay lets check the comments ! lol

[@MithunOnTheNet]

Shame on Cocobod for not sharing the profits to their own farmers! MNCs can raise prices and recover their costs but not farmers. Shame on the Ghana government.

[@abbynarishkin9025]

Hey there, I’m the producer on this video! That’s an interesting point you bring up. Cocobod did raise the price for farmers in Ghana twice this year. Now farmers make $3000 per MT. For more context, Cocobod wouldn’t want to automatically raise prices to say $10k a MT if the price goes up globally. Because it knows the price of cocoa globally is going to come down (it already has), and cocobod cannot decrease the price it pays farmers once they’ve increased it.

[@KHobbies_cina]

I use chocolate in desserts ,and prices increased in a 2 month span , almost double

[@Railfan513]

First 🥇 great video

[@bjkjoseph]

I wouldn’t call snickers real chocolate. It doesn’t taste anything like chocolate it taste like corn syrup.

[@darkcrow42]

Depends on where you are. True, it's not the most chocolatey of bars, but I've heard that in the US the chocolate tastes a lot different compared to the EU for example.

[@bjkjoseph]

@ if I’m gonna have chocolate, I go to Aldi and get the chocolate from Germany, the companies here changed the law years ago, and it requires them to have very little chocolate in the candy and they can still call it chocolate

[@j-timeless]

13:48 "Ree-sees?" Just like my favorite actress, Ree-see Witherspoon.

[@melindaburgess-murray4781]

Yes I have seen an in Cadbury Chocolate From 12 dollars to $16 in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

[@Khalrua]

Happy Halloween!

[@lockethomas7165]

African- "We want to produce our own chocolate here in Africa" European- "how you going to manage that you have no cows or milk chillers"

[@abbynarishkin9025]

Powdered milk :) Ghana is building out its cold chain. That’s how places like Niche and fairafric are coming online

[@starsrhi2335]

Chocolate verses gold - Real chocolate has more value than gold...you cannot eat gold. Greed and violence will not help or save gold in the near future. Gold will cancer itself from storage no matter how well it is stored, and its value will be worthless. It would be best to take care the chocolate, save the farmers and the their fields for abundant growing for this valuable and healthfilled bean. If you do not take heed this important message, be assured that your own resources will wither, and you will not be given even the dust off a it's bean.

8:06 say it loud say it proud.

[@grizzlywizzly]

Shame on the multi-National chocolate industry for treatment of farmers - there are livelihoods based on those products of this crop and no benefits would ever “trickle down” towards those farmers what’s funny is there are tons of articles this year talking about how “kids don’t like chocolate anymore!” And how gummies and sour candies have become #1 preference for kids 😂

[@John_Smith_86]

Their country bans such excess payments to the individual farmers. What do you want the MNCs to do?

[@brandonbielinski5611]

Probably paid for by Big Chocolate lol

[@cartman4885]

Chocolate products have gotten so high the past few years that I no longer give any type of chocolate Halloween candy anymore just hard candy's and when I crave chocolate I buy Wal Mart brand not cheap but cheaper than the big brands

[@coco-jz9zk]

But like, didnt he just burry the sick pod. Doesnt that make the virus spread easier bc they are like lowkey infecting the soil right?

[@starfan6299]

Let's be honest here... American chocolate can barely be called chocolate to begin with lol

[@love83forever]

How does the Ghanaian government allow them to take peoples land?

Nooooooooooo 🤧😭😭

Personally my candy of choice has been nerds bites as of late 😅

[@debbiemarquis3231]

Apparently Ghana don't have a government..

[@EdwardNY8]

It means you should have posted this 2 weeks ago everyone already bought their candy

[@patricksalish]

I just want that M&M trolly to travel to my mouth. 🚂 👁️👅👁️

[@domosito4472]

Wow I’ve always heard talk about how vanilla is actually brown but they never talk about how cocoa is actually white

[@CuteSealYHM]

The beans inside the white flesh are brown

[@debbiemarquis3231]

After fermentation..the white flesh is removed to use the seeds

[@domosito4472]

Ok so the flesh is white

[@abbynarishkin9025]

After fermenting and drying the beans turn brown!

[@lutomson3496]

reminds me of how the diamond market is controlled..falsely like this market is...

[@dejabu24]

11:10 I wonder what make a company accept to reduce their margins , that means that not always is transfer to the consumer

[@Lion_McLionhead]

Thought AI replaced all the cocoa farmers.

[@kapa1611]

:/ they make the candy smaller and smaller. it sucks. and, as they point out in the video, they are adding more things that are not chocolate to the candy, which doesn't taste as good. btw, why are only 2 countries producing most of the chocolate? Ivory Coast and Ghana. you'd think there would be other countries trying produce chocolate, especially since prices are increasing..

[@markedis5902]

Chocolate bars have been getting smaller for years now

[@KKrusher]

Just use synthetic fake chocolate just like any other product nowadays. I seriously doubt manufacturers use actual chocolate beans anymore.

[@shwanflake]

It means they have reason to increase prices and after a year show off amazing profits 😂 will be rewarded with higher stock prices. Mo money gets mo money 🎉

[@Davidchendavid]

🫘 oh no

[@EstherCheung-i7j]

No, I don’t like the smaller bars and there is more wasted packaging

Why can’t the big chocolate producers help them?

thats how europeans make money , there is still neo colonialism there. there should be ban on chocolate produced outside cocoa produced countries.

Idc!!!! Reese cups shouldn’t cost 3$..
