酷愛巧克力的人恐怕不愿意聽到下面這個消息.悉尼先驅晨報的一篇報道說,到2020年,由于巧克力豆短缺,我們將不再有巧克力吃.

Sydney Morning Herald: They are words which will strike fear into every addict - we're running out of chocolate.

That's according to the world's largest confectionary producer, which has joined Mars in warning of a massive shortfall which could reach a million tonnes a year by 2020.

Switzerland's Barry Callebaut Group said soaring demand have helped chocolate prices hit more than double what they were just eight years ago.

The supplier, which provides chocolate for firms from global giants to artisan bakers, has revealed it sold 1.7million tonnes in 2013/14 - a rise of 11.7 per cent on the year before.
