Amasaka kabhontshisi kakhokho apakishiwe alungele ukuthunyelwa endaweni yokugcina impahla yaseGhana.

Kunokukhathazeka okungenzeka ukuthi umhlaba uphokophele ekusweleniukhokhongenxa yemvula enamandla kunokwejwayelekile emazweni amakhulu akhiqiza ukhokho eNtshonalanga Afrika.Ezinyangeni ezintathu kuya kweziyisithupha ezedlule, amazwe afana ne-Cote d'Ivoire kanye neGhana - lapho ehlangene akhiqiza ngaphezu kuka-60% kakhokho womhlaba - abe nezinga eliphezulu ngokungavamile lemvula.

Le mvula enamandla kakhulu inyuse ukwesaba kokwehla kwesivuno sikakhokho, njengoba kungaholela ezifweni nasezilokazaneni ezingalimaza izihlahla zikakhokho.Ukwengeza, izimvula ezinamandla zingaphinde zibe nomthelela omubi eqophelweni likabhontshisi we-cocoa, kuqhubekisele phambili ukushoda okungaba khona.

Ochwepheshe embonini basiqaphe ngeso lokhozi isimo futhi baxwayisa ngokuthi uma imvula enamandla iqhubeka, ingaba nomthelela omkhulu ekuhlinzekweni kukakhokho emhlabeni wonke futhi kubangele ukushoda.Lokhu ngeke kuthinte kuphela ukutholakala kukashokoledi neminye imikhiqizo esekwe kukhokho kodwa futhi kuzoba nomthelela wezomnotho emazweni akhiqiza ukhokho kanye nemakethe ye-cocoa yomhlaba wonke.

Nakuba kusesekuseni kakhulu ukuthi kutholakale izinga eligcwele lomthelela wemvula enkulu esivunweni sikakhokho salo nyaka, ukukhathazeka ngokushoda okungase kube khona kubangela ababambiqhaza ukuthi bacabangele izixazululo ezingaba khona.Abanye babheka izindlela zokunciphisa umonakalo ongaba khona ngenxa yokuna kwemvula ngokweqile, njengokusebenzisa izindlela zokulima ukuze kuvikelwe izihlahla zikakhokho ezifweni nasezilokazaneni ezikhula kahle ezindaweni ezimanzi.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukushoda okungaba khona kuphinde kwavusa izingxoxo mayelana nesidingo sokuhlukahluka okukhulu ekukhiqizeni ukhokho, njengoba ukuthembela kakhulu emazweni ambalwa akhiqizayo abalulekile kubeka ukunikezwa komhlaba engcupheni.Imizamo yokukhuthaza kanye nokweseka ukufuywa kwe-cocoa kwezinye izifunda emhlabeni jikelele ingasiza ekuqinisekiseni ukutholakala kwe-cocoa okuzinzile nokuvikelekile esikhathini esizayo.

Njengoba lesi simo siqhubeka nokuvela, imboni ye-cocoa yomhlaba wonke iqapha ngokucophelela amaphethini wesimo sezulu eNtshonalanga Afrika futhi isebenzela ukuthola izixazululo zokubhekana nokushoda okungenzeka kwe-cocoa.
