Real chocolate may become a luxury as cocoa costs soar

کوکو مہنگا ہونے سے اصلی چاکلیٹ عیش و عشرت کی چیز بن سکتی ہے

कोको महँगा होने से असली चॉकलेट विलासिता की वस्तु बन सकती है

Real chocolate may become a luxury as cocoa costs soar

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Real chocolate may be heading towards luxury status as the world cocoa supply faces a crisis, according to a New York magazine exploration of the industry.
  • Extreme weather, crop disease and struggling farmers in West Africa have squeezed harvests, and cocoa prices peaked at more than 12,000 dollars a metric ton in 2024, compared with 2,000 to 3,000 dollars a ton in the previous decade.
  • Candy prices are already up 44 percent since 2021, and many makers are reformulating products, swapping cocoa butter for vegetable oils or cutting cocoa content, while some labels have changed.
  • نیویارک میگزین کی صنعت پر تحقیق کے مطابق دنیا میں کوکو کی فراہمی کے بحران کے باعث اصلی چاکلیٹ عیش و عشرت کی چیز بننے کی طرف جا رہی ہے۔ مغربی افریقہ میں شدید موسم، فصلوں کی بیماری اور مشکلات کا شکار کسانوں نے پیداوار کم کر دی ہے، اور کوکو کی قیمت 2024 میں 12 ہزار ڈالر فی میٹرک ٹن سے زیادہ ہو گئی، جبکہ پچھلی دہائی میں یہ 2 سے 3 ہزار ڈالر فی ٹن تھی۔ کینڈی کی قیمتیں 2021 سے اب تک 44 فیصد بڑھ چکی ہیں، اور کئی بنانے والے مصنوعات کی ترکیب بدل رہے ہیں، کوکو مکھن کی جگہ سبزیوں کے تیل استعمال کر رہے ہیں یا کوکو کی مقدار کم کر رہے ہیں، جبکہ کچھ لیبل بھی تبدیل ہو گئے ہیں۔ اسٹارٹ اپس لیب میں اگائے گئے کوکو اور کوکو سے پاک متبادل پر بھی کام کر رہے ہیں، جس سے زیادہ کوکو والی اصلی چاکلیٹ تیزی سے ان لوگوں کے لیے مہنگی چیز بن رہی ہے جو زیادہ قیمت ادا کر سکتے ہیں۔
  • न्यूयॉर्क पत्रिका के उद्योग पर शोध के अनुसार, दुनिया में कोको की आपूर्ति के संकट के कारण असली चॉकलेट विलासिता की वस्तु बनने की ओर बढ़ रही है। पश्चिम अफ्रीका में चरम मौसम, फ़सल रोग और संघर्षरत किसानों ने पैदावार कम कर दी है, और कोको की कीमत 2024 में 12,000 डॉलर प्रति मीट्रिक टन से अधिक हो गई, जबकि पिछले दशक में यह 2,000 से 3,000 डॉलर प्रति टन थी। कैंडी की कीमतें 2021 से अब तक 44 प्रतिशत बढ़ चुकी हैं, और कई निर्माता उत्पादों का फ़ॉर्मूला बदल रहे हैं, कोको बटर की जगह वनस्पति तेल इस्तेमाल कर रहे हैं या कोको की मात्रा घटा रहे हैं, जबकि कुछ लेबल भी बदल गए हैं। स्टार्टअप प्रयोगशाला में उगाए गए कोको और कोको-मुक्त विकल्पों पर भी काम कर रहे हैं, जिससे अधिक कोको वाली असली चॉकलेट तेज़ी से उन लोगों के लिए महँगी वस्तु बन रही है जो अधिक कीमत चुका सकते हैं।

Real chocolate may be heading towards luxury status as the world cocoa supply faces a crisis, according to a New York magazine exploration of the industry. Extreme weather, crop disease and struggling farmers in West Africa have squeezed harvests, and cocoa prices peaked at more than 12,000 dollars a metric ton in 2024, compared with 2,000 to 3,000 dollars a ton in the previous decade. Candy prices are already up 44 percent since 2021, and many makers are reformulating products, swapping cocoa butter for vegetable oils or cutting cocoa content, while some labels have changed. Start-ups are also working on lab-grown cocoa and cocoa-free substitutes, leaving high-cocoa real chocolate increasingly positioned as a premium product for those who can pay more.
