<\/a><\/strong>Winter evenings are about to get sad<\/strong>: <\/strong>The scant precipitation levels and dry conditions associated with the El Ni\u00f1o weather phenomenon<\/a>, coupled with the effects of climate change, threaten the productivity of the world\u2019s major cocoa production centers and will likely drive cocoa producers to seek green pastures in higher altitude regions, CNBC<\/a> writes. El Ni\u00f1o is expected to last through to March 2024 with a 71% chance<\/a> of intensification from November to January and the impact climate change is having on agricultural output is already sending cocoa price tags to their highest levels in 50 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Driving cocoa farmers to higher altitudes:<\/strong> Rising temperatures and an intensified El Ni\u00f1o cyclical pattern will render cocoa farmlands infertile by 2050 and force farmers to seek out more arable lands uphill, \u201cor some may decide to leave cocoa cultivation altogether,\u201d according to research by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a>. The farmland suitable for cacao trees in the world\u2019s largest production regions of C\u00f4te d'Ivoire and Ghana is expected to rise uphill to between 450\u2013500 meters above sea level from the current optimal cultivation levels of 100\u2013250 meters, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Mitigation efforts will have to be boosted:<\/strong> Climate mitigation efforts will have to triple by 2030 and quadruple by 2050 to mitigate the impact El Ni\u00f1o<\/a> on cocoa production centers, translating to a cumulative investment of up to USD 8.1 tn by mid-century, Kerry Daroci, the cocoa sector lead at the Rainforest Alliance, told CNBC, citing research<\/a> by the United Nations Environment Programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
