OUR CONCEPT
THE STORY
THE CONCEPT
THE IMPLEMENTATION
Statistics and predictions based on user’s individual input. Puts the numbers into the perspective “What this means for me?”
What would happen if everyone ate the same amount of chocolate as you do? You can change the amount of chocolate consumed per week, and see how this influences the projections.
DATA SOURCES
THE STORY
THE CONCEPT
THE IMPLEMENTATION
Multiple openly available data sources about world’s production, supply and consumption of cocoa.
Also some predictions what will happen in the future.

THE IMPLEMENTATION
Multiple openly available data sources about world’s production, supply and consumption of cocoa.
Also some predictions what will happen in the future.
If we have the info of how much cocoa is currently being consumed worldwide, we can combine this with current production numbers to estimate price increases, or even when we might run out of cocoa altogether.

CHALLENGES
THE STORY
THE CONCEPT
THE IMPLEMENTATION
Projections Estimating what might happen on the market is difficult
• increasing demand in Asia, but difficult to predict exact numbers
• new solutions to tackle the issue being developed (genetically modified crops, …)
• big share of cocoa production depended on Ebola or similar outbreaks
We just have to assume some things.
