The impact of this as a decreasing supply of cocoa, due to some countries and producers to decrease the production. A decrease in production in other producer countries such as Ivory Coast have occurred since November 2007 and since then exports from Indonesia, including North Sumatra, have increased significantly.
A decline of cocoa production is caused not only a conflict in Ivory Coast country, but also pest attacks in the South Sulawesi.
