I was under the impression that cocoa production was actually up not reduced despite all the lavish funding of Plan Colombia. Is that correct or not? If thats really a substantiated fact that growers are packin up and pullin out for greener pastures in Bolivia and Ecuador, thats really good news and evidence of the viability of Plan Colombia. But I will need more than one article from China to believe that is the case. Anymore articles from the supposedly "unbiased" Colombian press on that subject??

Hey makopp, did u see where the erudite authors stated that 1 hect is equivalent to 1 sq kilometre. Haha, I hope the rest of the information in that article was better resourced........

Hmmm, maybe that is why good chocolate is so expensive, whilst coke is relatively cheap? Somebody should pass that link on to the DEA.
