Since the 1990s, more than a billion people from China, Indonesia, India, Brazil and the former Soviet Union have entered the market for cocoa.Despite the increased demand, supply has not kept up and stockpiles of cocoa are said to be falling.
自20世纪90年代以来,上亿的来自中国、印度尼西亚、印度、巴西等发展中国家的消费者购买巧克力,导致市场对巧克力的需求不断增加,而可可豆的储量却逐年下降。
Doug Hawkins, from London-based research firm Hardman Agribusiness, said production of cocoa is under strain as farming methods have not changed for hundreds of years.
来自伦敦研究公司哈德曼农业的道格·霍金斯表示,可可产品供应紧张是因为可可树种植方法几百年来一成不变。
Some reports suggest cocoa growers in the world's top producer country, Ivory Coast, have resorted to illegally farming protected forests to meet demand - what Mr Hawkins calls 'destruction by chocolate'.
有关报道显示,在世界上可可种植最多的国家科特迪瓦(也称为 “象牙海岸”),有些种植者为了满足市场需求,在森林保护区域里非法耕种可可作物,道格·霍金斯称这种现象为“巧克力带来的毁灭”。
