In Brazil, there are huge problems with the mentionened fungus. The Bahian cocoa industry, once massive, is effectively dead. It's a sad story, really, seeing how it was spread on purpose to better the situation of the workers. And it's a story in caution since it would be really easy to do the same thing to the West African cocoa, no cure has been found yet and the tries so far have ruined the farmers in Bahia. But well, my friends lost their farm anyway..
