PLEASE HELP How is the climate effecting cocoa production?
What are farmers doing to keep up with the demand for cocoa?
What distribution challenges are present?
How are scientist looking to help the cocoa production? (hint: new types of cocoa plants)

1.Reduced rainfall and increased temperatures, which lead to prolonged periods of drought, are causing a reduction in soil moisture during the dry seasons and decreased soil fertility. These conditions often lead to cocoa seedling mortality.

2.Cocoa farmers face a number of challenges: small plots of land, aging trees that are less productive and small profits that make it difficult to support themselves and send their children to school.

3.Effective fertilizers, fungicides and training programs already exist, and scientists are beginning to develop cultivars resistant to some of the problems that have long dogged the cacao tree.
