traditional cocoa-based chocolate will likely remain the majority of the market. There already exists chocolate alternatives such as carob bean and we see how well that does in the market. The significant price of cocoa will incentivize automation even further. Maybe they'll find a way to expand its growing range.
We have kind of already moved where it grows, it's indigenous to south America but most of it is grown in Africa. My assumption is that we'd see indoor / vertical farms for many temperamental plants if it becomes more cost effective, but that might be impossible for cacao which is a tree. Or perhaps someone will find a way to cross breed it with something that will help it grow elsewhere.
