The Dhaka Times Desk If too much and maybe 10 years! Then chocolate may not be available anymore. So chocolate is going to disappear from the world?
It has been said that chocolate may be within the reach of the middle class for another 10 years! Then only a handful of people will be able to taste the 'more expensive than gold' chocolate. Then maybe after 40 years this heavenly chocolate will be completely mixed in the air. Environmentalists have said such fears.
What causes this to happen?
In the words of scientists, this is climate change or 'climate change'. Every year the average temperature of this world is increasing little by little. It is feared that chocolate production may decrease by 70-80 percent in the next 10 years if it continues at this pace. Research is already going on to make chocolate artificially. But whether it is possible to reach the taste of fake chocolate at all, there are also doubts.
How is climate change affecting chocolate production?
According to a report, most of the world's chocolate is produced in two countries on the west coast of Africa - Ivory Coast and Ghana. In these two countries, cacao or cocoa trees are cultivated in areas very close to the sea. This cocoa tree is so sensitive that even a slight change in temperature causes them to wilt, and fruit production ceases. Environmentalists fear that the average temperature in this area is likely to increase by 2 degrees Celsius in the next 9 to 10 years. It will completely stop the yield of this tree.
But not only the heat, but also the threat of sea level rise due to rising temperatures. The Ivory Coast and Ghana may go under water. Apart from this there are special types of fungal attacks. Many say that the fungus, which is the main enemy of the cocoa tree, may also increase in climate change. Because of this, the existence of chocolate is in crisis.
But efforts are already being made to save chocolate. A chocolate bar company called 'Mars' is working with the University of California to save the cocoa tree. Attempts are being made to create an artificial environment to grow cocoa there. But that research is still in its infancy.
That's why many fear that the most delicious pada chocolate will soon be left out of all gift bags. Before that, gift this chocolate to your loved ones as much as you can, buy for yourself as much as you want. Hand over this heavenly dish to your lover on Valentine's Day. The reason is that you only have a few years to spare. Then maybe really lost this popular chocolate! - Based on Bangladesh Today.
