I started watching a recent documentary last night about the  "Coup Belt" in Africa and the fact that Russia and France are essentially engaged in a bunch of small proxy wars over there...and Russia is winning.  5 or 6 national coups in the last few years. Probably doesn't help Cocoa prices. However, we can try to find reasons, but at the end of the day....everything is inflating because of too much capital in the global system.
