 I just bought 2 lbs. of organic cocoa powder for $30. This may be the last time I can find it this cheap.
"Cocoa is currently more expensive than copper, its price having soared 60% this month alone. Demand for the crop is expected to grow by more than 4% a year this decade but bad harvests in west Africa mean chocolate makers are scrambling for scarce beans."

 As the climate warms it will be easier to grow cocoa away from the tropics .
