Cocoa Prices Skyrocket

By IGI Global on Mar 29, 2024
0 Cocoa prices have skyrocketed to an unprecedented $10,000 per metric ton.This sudden surge poses a significant challenge for both chocolate manufacturers and consumers, as it threatens the stability of the cocoa supply chain and may lead to higher retail prices for chocolate products. The environmental impact of such high prices is also a concern, as the increased pressure on cocoa farming could result in deforestation and other environmental issues.
Stakeholders in the cocoa industry must explore various solutions to address the soaring cocoa prices. These could involve implementing sustainable farming practices to increase cocoa yields, investing in research and development for alternative ingredients, and fostering partnerships to ensure fair pricing for cocoa farmers. Additionally, consumers can support ethical chocolate brands and products, prioritizing sustainability and fair trade practices to promote a more stable and equitable cocoa market.

To learn more about sustainable practices and advancements in supply chain management, Strategies for Environmentally Responsible Supply Chain and Production Management (ISBN: 9798369306697) provides the underpinnings of SSCM and furnishes practical insights on overcoming implementation challenges. It delineates strategies to weave sustainability into supply chain operations, fostering a convergence between ecological responsibility and organizational objectives.

There is a growing issue in the research community of authors submitting their articles to gold OA journals (and even hybrid OA/subscription-based journals), and then withdrawing their article after it has been accepted to the journal, effectively utilizing all of the resources of that journal, including the peer review, only to then refuse to publish at the end of the process.
