It is easier to increase the supply of chocolate than the supply of cocoa beans. Do you agree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer.

Answer:

I agree.

Step-by-step explanation:

On average cocoa trees need around 4-5 years before they eventually bear fruit and can produce cocoa beans. On the other hand, producing chocolates from those cocoa beans need around 5-8 days.

compared to producing chocolate, producing cocoa beans require more long-term planning and investment, which make it harder to suddenly increase the supply of the beans.
