| Some farmers in Uganda have hired gunmen to protect their cocoa as thieves attempt to cash in on the crop's increased value. | |
| Global cocoa prices have reached their highest point in over a decade as dry weather hinders farming in Ghana and Ivory Coast, the biggest producers of cocoa in the world. | |
| According to Mutanga Grace, a Ugandan cocoa farmer and CEO of Mkulima Exports Uganda, roughly 30% of the cocoa beans produced in the East African country is being stolen. | |
| He told BBC Newsday that farmers in the country are forking out armed guards and dogs in an attempt to protect their cocoa, which is a key ingredient in products like chocolate, ice creams and cakes. | |
| "Cocoa in the country right now is like a hotcake, someone takes little but has taken a lot, a lot of money," he said. | |
