Podcasts about Cocoa

My friend Kari Bates (mother of six, lives in Elko NV, life coach) and Kimberly Bates (HR professional living in NYC) joins us to talk about their new podcast called “Coffee and Cocoa”. Their podcast focused on how Kari and Kimberly reframed/rebuilt their relationship on five core principles after Kimbery left the Church. They talk about the early years, the mistakes they made, and how they learned and implemented new tools/perspectives to preserve their relationship. And how their relationship is now beyond preserving the relationship but thriving. It is a beautiful family love story. And a story that they felt impressed to share with others through their new awesome podcast. If you are looking for a real-life story and actionable principles of preserving/growing a family relationship where there are differences in religious and/or political beliefs, I encourage you to listen/connect with their podcast. Thank you, Kari and Kimberly, for being on the podcast and your much-needed work in our community to build bridges. You two are awesome!

From chocolate and sugar prices to energy markets and inflation, El Niño's impacts may soon reach far beyond the weather forecast. Our Latin America Agribusiness Analyst Julia Rizzo maps out where the pressure could emerge first.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Julia Rizzo, Latin America Agribusiness Analyst at Morgan Stanley. Today: how El Niño could move from the Pacific into commodity markets, grocery prices, and investor portfolios. It's Wednesday, August 19th, at 10am in Sao Paulo.You may not follow rainfall patterns in Brazil or cocoa-growing conditions in West Africa. But you immediately notice when chocolate, groceries, or electricity cost more. And you can connect the dots to El Niño -- a warming cycle in the Pacific Ocean that disrupts weather globally. It changes where rain falls and shapes the outlook for crops, power markets, transportation, and inflation. There is now a 95 percent chance of a very strong El Niño in the fourth quarter of 2026. It could end up being among the most powerful events in more than 75 years of recorded history. Timing and location matter greatly. Crop damage often depends on whether heat or heavy rain arrives during a narrow planting, flowering, or harvest window. The most direct effects are likely to appear first in commodities. Sugar is on the list of commodities most exposed to favorable price dynamics from weather conditions. Cocoa also looks tight. Grains are more complicated. Soybeans need evidence of a net South American production loss. Problems in northern Brazil may be offset by stronger crops in Argentina or Brazil south. Corn is even more dependent on timing. The key near-term catalyst remains U.S. weather and crops. What happens next matters well beyond agricultural markets. Food is the main channel through which El Niño reaches the broader economy, and the effect usually appears after a one-year lag. That makes inflation primarily a 2027 story. In Latin America, the largest incremental inflation risks are concentrated in Peru, Brazil, and Colombia, with most of the pressure arriving in 2027. That matters for central banks. Weather shocks can fade. So, policymakers often look through an initial rise in food prices. The greater concern is that higher food costs may begin to influence inflation expectations, wages, rents, or other prices across the economy. Colombia stands out as the clearest case where those second-round effects could complicate monetary policy. India and Indonesia also face meaningful economic exposure. Agriculture accounts for a large share of output and employment in these countries. India is especially sensitive. Agriculture represents about 18 percent of the GDP, 43 to 45 [percent] of jobs, while food makes up roughly 36 percent of the consumer price basket. Record food reserves may provide some protection, though a poor growing season could still weigh on rural incomes and keep food inflation elevated. The economic consequences will vary widely. Higher agricultural prices can support farmer income and benefit some parts of the food and agricultural supply chain. They can also raise costs for households, food producers, and businesses that depend on grains and sugar. Utilities may benefit in markets where hotter or drier conditions lift electricity prices, while heavy rainfall could disrupt transport routes and airports in those exposed regions. Historical asset-price signals are limited, so this is less of a broad macro trade than a detailed assessment of local exposure. Rainfall, crop timing, inventories, and the ability to pass higher costs on to consumers will determine where the pressure lands. El Niño may begin in the Pacific, but its market footprint can travel from cocoa farms in West Africa to a grocery aisle, a power grid, or a central bank meeting. Thanks for listening.

When you unwrap your favourite chocolate bar from one of your favourite brands, do you know who actually makes the chocolate? You’d be surprised to find out that it may not be the company whose name appears on the wrapper. In fact, some of the world’s biggest confectionery brands like Nestle, Mondelez and Hershey rely on specialist manufacturers, or so-called white label producers, who’re often working quietly behind the scenes. Our guest for today is one of the largest – Barry Callebaut. The company’s roots can be traced back to over a century ago in 1911, when Octaaf Callebaut, the grandson of a brewer in the small Belgian town of Wiez secretly worked on his first chocolate recipe. His secrets of chocolate making would go on to be passed from one generation to another, who learned the craft from their predecessors who still make chocolate with all of their senses. Fast forward to today, Barry Callebaut is a world leading provider of high quality chocolate experiences across the full spectrum of chocolate, cocoa, cacao coatings and non-cocoa alternatives, and is involved from the sourcing and processing of cocoa beans to the crafting of premium chocolates, fillings and decorations. With over 60 production facilities worldwide, Barry Callebaut serves the entire food industry from large-scale food manufacturers to artisanal and professional users such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs and restaurants. Barry Callebaut is a company that we want to zoom in on given how it is a gauge of global chocolate demand following a period of record cocoa prices. That’s particularly so with concerns surrounding a strong El Nino weather pattern in the coming months. To this end, the firm had in July 2026 reported that third quarter sales volumes rose for the first time in two years, and also forecast a smaller full-year volume decline than earlier expected. So what’s bolstering demand and how does the firm intend to mitigate headwinds from seasonal weather patterns? What are the longer term consumption trends that will support Barry Callebaut’s business looking ahead? Speaking of the longer term, the firm also opened its Callebaut Global Innovation Center in Singapore to accelerate innovation and transformation across the chocolate and cocoa industry. But what is the strategic role played by its operations in Singapore and how important will the new innovation center be in positioning the firm for future growth? On Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Vamsi Mohan Thati, President of AMEA (Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa) at Barry Callebaut Group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

VCs taking on interim roles at their portfolio companies is something that's happened for a long time — as is VCs making the permanent switch to the operator side. But a new trend seems to be gaining steam in Europe: VCs adding a CEO or operator title alongside their investor role, and doing both at the same time. Judith Dada, general partner at Visionaries, for example, has made that move this month, taking a role as co-CEO at AI startup Langdock, while Carmen Alfonso Rico, who founded UK-based angel investment firm Cocoa, announced she's joining her portfolio company, British chip startup Fractile, as VP of business operations. Both are retaining investment roles at their firms.Joining host Freya Pratty to discuss the trend is senior reporter Anne Sraders. The pair chat about why these moves are happening now and whether they could bring up issues for the firms further down the line. They also discuss further changes at Visionaries, as a number of partners transition from their full-time investment positions to entrepreneurial roles. Sign up to Sifted's weekly newsletter about VC here: https://sifted.eu/newslettersThis episode was brought to you by HSBC Innovation Banking.

Cocoa income comes just twice a year, but families need stability every day. Carol Miloky (CARE) and Fatou Ndiaye (Mars) unpack what they learned from a decade of working with cocoa‑growing families. Savings groups were helping women build businesses, but without stronger household planning and clearer financial decision‑making, those gains didn't always translate into lasting resilience. Over time, CARE and Mars saw a simple truth: stability at home shows up as stability in the supply chain. They explore how focusing on whole‑household financial visioning, helping families plan across the year, smooth income gaps, and make shared decisions, creates more predictable livelihoods and stronger supplier relationships. The result? Stronger enterprises, safer homes, and, as Fatou puts it, farmers who stay committed for the long term.

Primary care docs Mark Ebell, Kate Rowland, Henry Barry and Gary Ferenchick tackle 4 new studies: health benefits of cocoa supplements, the best antibiotic for managing uncomplicated UTIs in women, left atrial appendage closure for AF with high bleeding or stroke risk, and evolocumab for primary (sort-of) prevention of MACE in patients with diabetes.Essential Evidence Plus: www.essentialevidenceplus.comhttps://www.iafp.org/2026ac Cocoa and health: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35294962/ Antibiotics for UTI: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42026010/ Left atrial appendage closure and AF: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41849741/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41903215/

In 2026, prices of oil, gold, wheat, beef, and other commodities hit all-time highs, fueled by the inflationary effects of the Iran war. But one global good has plummeted - cocoa.    In the last year, prices have fallen 70%. An industry riddled by moral and social challenges, including child labour exploitation, carbon footprint, and deforestation, is now also under economic threat.   The future of West African cocoa, in particular, being subject to smuggling, storage constraints, financing challenges, and global regulatory hurdles, is falling into question.    Trade Finance Global (TFG) sat down with Dr Tedd George, CEO of Kleos Advisory and a regional and industry expert, to discuss the regulatory, financial, and ecological frameworks needed to make West African cocoa sustainable. 

Welcome to another action-packed edition of The Futures Rundown! On this Fed week and shortened holiday session leading into Juneteenth, host Mark Longo breaks down a fascinating "bifurcated" tape. Is it finally time for the beaten-down assets to mount a comeback? We deep dive into a week dubbed the "Revenge of the Losers" as some of the year's biggest underperformers find their footing. Plus, we break down the latest interest rate decision from the Federal Reserve, massive volume spikes in equity micros, and the energy market wipeout. In this episode, we cover: The Trading Pit: Weekly upside movers including Silver, Palladium, Cocoa, Coffee, and a surprising rally in Ether (ETH) futures. The Energy annihilation: What's driving the massive downside in WTI, Brent crude, RBOB, and heating oil amidst Middle East detente rumors. Fed Day Reality Check: How the markets reacted to the Fed holding rates steady under the new Fed governor, and why volume suddenly went wild in the second half of the session. Volume Leaders: A look at the massive paper moving through Nasdaq Micros, 10-Year notes, and the E-mini. Year-to-Date Movers & Shakers: Checking in on the biggest winners (spoiler: nonfat dry milk is still king) and the cellar-dwellers of 2026.

Mondelēz International, the company behind Cadbury, Oreo, Toblerone and Ritz, has warned that future European investment could bypass the UK if regulatory instability persists.Chief executive Dirk Van de Put says the UK is the company's second-biggest market globally and contributes more than £2.3 billion to the economy each year, supporting 12,000 jobs and spending £1.3 billion with more than 1,000 UK suppliers. But he is sharply critical of food and drink being left out of the government's industrial strategy, despite representing around a quarter of industrial turnover. He says the sector is being taken for granted and warns that repeated policy shifts have already cost Mondelēz £40 million in reformulation work that was then superseded by further changes. Asked whether future investment could go elsewhere in Europe because of government policy, he says: “Yes, of course.”Van de Put also defends Mondelēz's decision to continue operating in Russia, despite acknowledging the company pays taxes there that contribute to the war in Ukraine. He argues that withdrawal would have put 3,000 employees out of work, left 10,000 farmers without a buyer, and likely handed confiscated plants to Kremlin-linked interests that could generate even more money for the Russian state. He says: “I'm not pleased about that,” but maintains that staying was “not the most popular decision” but “the right decision”. The conflict in Ukraine is not theoretical for Mondelēz. Van de Put reveals that the company's office building in Ukraine was hit on the morning of the interview, and its factories have been struck and rebuilt twice at a cost of tens of millions. He also said staff were evacuated to neighbouring countries during the worst of the fighting. More broadly, he describes the past two years as the toughest of his 30-year career. Wars, inflation, oil prices, packaging costs, fertiliser markets and weak household budgets have created cascading pressure across the business. He says global consumer confidence is among the worst he has ever seen.The cocoa supply chain has also suffered its worst disruption in at least 40 years. Concentrated production in Ghana and Ivory Coast, endemic crop disease and back-to-back extreme weather events drove an 18 per cent fall in harvests and sent prices soaring. Two stronger crops have eased the immediate pressure, but Van de Put says the structural fragility remains and the sector needs long-term intervention from governments, companies and farming communities.He also pushes back against the backlash against processed food, saying: “The world cannot live without processed foods.” He argues that processing is essential to food preservation and global food security, though he accepts the industry must continue to make products healthier.On GLP-1 weight loss drugs, Van de Put says Mondelēz is not yet seeing a material impact, but expects the trend to reshape consumer habits over time. He sees the drugs as broadly positive and says the company is adapting through acquisitions in protein and health snacking, including Grenade, Clif Bar and Perfect Snacks, as well as developing products with more protein, fibre and cleaner ingredients.Presenter: Leanna Byrne Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones0:00 Will and Leanna intro the podcast 03:01 Dirk Van de Put interview begins / His background as a vet 08:53 Forces shaping the business: wars, tariffs, climate, cocoa, regulation, GLP-1 drugs 13:25 Europe as a difficult market / Consumer confidence at historic lows16:28 Continuing operations in Russia / Moral decisions & taxes funding the war 21:51 Cocoa supply chain crisis, El Niño & prices 24:27 Consumer pricing, shrinkflation & recipe integrity 29:30 UK industrial strategy: food industry left out 33:00 Future investment in UK & HFSS regulation 36:07 Education vs. regulation on obesity & weight loss drugs 41:48 Acquisitions (Grenade, Clif Bar) & protein/fibre trends 43:50 Chocolate tasters & "tasting Neanderthal" confession

As that heavenly bit of chocolate melts in our mouths, we give little thought as to where it came from, the arduous work that went in to its creation, and the complex process of its maturation from a bean to the delicacy we all enjoy. This "little book" details everything you have ever wanted to know (and some things you never knew you wanted to know) about cocoa and chocolate from how the trees are planted and sustained to which countries produce the most cacao beans. Do cacao beans from various countries differ? What makes some types of chocolate higher quality than other kinds? Are there any health benefits to eating chocolate? Read on to learn the answers to these and many other questions about that wondrous little treat we call chocolate. (Summary by Allyson Hester)Genre(s): *Non-fiction, History, CookingLanguage: EnglishKeyword(s): history (910), cooking (77), food (51)

Creativity is a great asset in life. It also will help you in your business. Andrew Hiers is a car salesman in Cocoa, Florida. To advertise cars he wants to sell, he uses his skill as a classically trained opera singer. He makes a video of himself performing a robust aria in his bass-baritone voice while standing in the car lot. He makes up the words for the sale and records it. These videos go viral and you can imagine he has a lot of people who come in and want to hear him sing and look at a car. Andrew is not only trying to sell more cars, but he figures he might get some gigs for singing. Now that's a real creative way to promote your strengths as a salesman. How creative are you in doing your work every day?

It's a View from the Bunker's Wayback Wednesday, with another interview drawn from our archive of programs dating back to June, 2009. This week, we go back to 2010 and interview with Joe Jordan of CE4 Research Group about the truth behind “alien” abductions. First released February 7, 2010 THE WORLD is more like The X-Files than most people would like to believe. Of course, coming from Hollywood, The X-Files didn't present the whole story behind UFOs and alien abductions. Joe Jordan is the President and co-founder of CE4 Research Group, an alien abduction investigation and research team based out of Cocoa, Florida. Joe has been a Mutual UFO Network Field Investigator since 1992. He's been a guest speaker at six Roswell UFO Festivals in Roswell, New Mexico, including the 60th Anniversary Conference in 2007, and he hosted the official Roswell UFO Festival Conference in 2008. Joe is the co-author with David Ruffino of the book Unholy Communion: The Alien Abduction Phenomenon, Where It Originates and How It Stops. We discussed his research into the phenomenon, where the “aliens” really come from, and how contactees and experiencers can make them go away. Follow us!

Are equity index derivatives finally getting some real competition? In this episode, MIAX Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer Shelly Brown joins host Mark Longo on The Futures Hot Seat to unpack their new index product suite developed with Bloomberg. The conversation focuses on the structural mechanics of the new Tini Bloomberg 100 Futures ($TBQ) and the upcoming rollout of the Tini Bloomberg 500 Futures ($TBX). Shelly explains how these 100% objective, algorithmically-driven indices operate compared to traditional benchmarks like the Nasdaq and S&P—including how a strict mathematical methodology allows them to fast-track new IPOs into the index. They also look at the microstructure advantages designed to attract retail order flow: lower exchange fees, tight market maker spreads, and capital efficiencies via OCC Clearing. Plus, we get a realistic timeline for index options and a upcoming Spikes 2.0 volatility product. Later, Mark heads into The Trading Pit to break down a wild week of price action across the tape: The Green Side: Small caps lead the charge with the Russell 2000 surging over 6%, Cocoa catches a rare bid, and the new Tini Bloomberg 100 makes an immediate debut on our weekly upside list. The Dark Side: Energy gets hammered. WTI, Brent, and RBOB slide roughly 14% on potential Middle East resolution news, while lithium and wheat follow to the downside. Volume Leaders: Micro Nasdaq contracts and Treasury rates see heavy volume blocks dominating the weekly data. Get early access to live streams, Pro Q&As, and more at The Options Insider Pro .

The metals markets are heating up once again! On this episode of The Futures Rundown, host Mark Longo is joined by Dana Samuelson, President of the American Gold Exchange, to break down the "Insania-Mania" currently gripping the precious metals space. They dive deep into the counterintuitive performance of Gold during recent geopolitical conflicts, the massive physical demand driving Silver back toward recent highs, and why Platinum is suddenly catching a bid. Plus, they explore the "sneaky" fundamentals of Copper and why the electrification of India is a long-term game changer. Highlights include: The Gold Liquidity Trap: Why the "King of Shiny" sold off while oil rallied. Silver Frenzy 2.0: Analyzing the dislocation between New York and London markets. Battery Tech Revolution: Could silver-based batteries replace lithium for EVs? Rates vs. Metals: How the 10-year Treasury yield is "driving the bus" for precious metals pricing. The Trading Pit: A look at the week's biggest movers, from Wheat and Oats to the recent slump in Bitcoin and Cocoa.

Jeff Malec sits down with Christopher Reeve, Chief Investment Officer of Aspect Capital, one of the original managed futures shops with roots tracing back to the "L" in AHL. Chris shares his path from chemistry and early-2000s AI at Oxford to 22 years at Aspect, where he now runs the investment side of the business. Jeff puts every trend following critique on the table, too big, too simple, too crowded, just beta, and Chris pushes back on all of it. They dig into why the edge is real but small, why multi-model diversification is the whole game, and why stacking lookalike models is fake diversification dressed up in a lab coat. The conversation covers cocoa and silver finally paying off, the replicator debate, why bond futures are really just seven yield curves in a trench coat, the case against explicit stops, and prediction markets.Plus King Charles, horses, chickens, and the Superman jokes that write themselves. - SEND IT!Chapters:00:00-01:21=Intro01:22-11:00= From Oxford AI and Chemistry to Building a Managed Futures Powerhouse11:01-18:51= Is Trend Following Too Big and Too Simple?
