Sustainability
The preponderance of unsustainable cocoa production methods is contributing to deforestation and soil depletion in the tropics. A further threat to the sustainability of the chocolate industry is the ongoing spread of devastating fungal diseases of the cacao tree that destroy cocoa harvests. The strict observance of quarantine measures for the movement of cacao planting material is a prerequisite for the continued health and productivity of cacao plantations world-wide.
