United Cacao Share Discussion Threads

Full page BUY recommendation in todays Shares Mag:
'Chocolate buying is soaring and a cocoa supply crunch looms, with West African production unable to keep pace with demand. A canny way to play these dynamics is via United Cacao. Management have previously created shareholder value before and growing appreciation of this strategic asset should drive the share price.'

Last year, the world ate about 70,000 tons more cocoa than it produced and we’re in the throes of the longest consecutive streak of chocolate deficits in more than 50 years.

Leading chocolate brands Mars Inc and Bary Callebaut AG have predicted that the shortfall will rise to one million metric tons by 2020 - and up to two million by 2030.

United Cacao listed on AIM today. More here hxxp://www.fmp-tv.co.uk/companies/united-cacao

United Cacao seeks to be the world’s largest and lowest cost corporate grower of cacao by the end of 2016 when it completes the planting of its existing freehold 3,250 hectare estate located near the city of Iquitos in northern Peru at the headwaters of the Amazon River.
In 2013, the International Cocoa Organization said it expected cocoa use to surpass output by 70,000 tonnes. That deficit is expected to reach 1m tonnes by 2020, and could hit 2m tonnes by 2030.

(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - According to the world's largest confectionary producer, the world is running out of chocolate.

The company says we could see that shortfall by 2020.

Soaring demand 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, says it sold one-point-seven million tons in 2013-2014, up nearly 12-percent from the year before.

Chocolate experts say that soaring demand will ultimately "outstrip" supply.

Candy companies like Mars which distribute to New Jersey are saying there will be a severe chocolate shortage this year due to the humid weather in Western Africa where the cocoa is grown. This muggy weather actually leads to unwanted pests and diseases that are plaguing the cocoa farms in Africa.

Uncle-Bob,I don't believe you!
Most of Lindt dark choc has 80% cocoa solids
Tell sainsburys (I'm at school) that they can cut out the continental if they have Belgian. Is the luxury in fancy writing? Luxury

I chose the nickname chocolat because I love chocolate,especially Black Magic and Ferrero Rocher, they are the ones wrapped in GOLD paper. Oh la la! My mum says that I have expensive tastes but I say no I just like rich men.

[realale] 06/10/2001 21:15

I like dribbly food. Chocolate especially yummy though. Leave choccy bar in warm place, make little hole in wrapper and squeeze out.

Ok, time to inform the masses. Sainsbury's Continental Luxury Dark Belgian Chocolate (silly name, I know) has 75% c. solids and is a lot nicer than Lindt. It's unbelievable, actually.

Thought I'd mention that today's FT has coverage on the British Association Science Festival in Glasgow, at which the benefits of chocolate in maintaining a healthy heart and circulation are highlighted- "chocolate is good for you"!
