I've seen the date 2020 thrown around in some of my short research. It would be a hell of a gamble if I did decide to do it.

I wouldn't recommend trading futures out that far. There are several things that can come into play that could effect the price of cocoa, even in a supply crunch. Say the US dollar doubles in value relative to other currencies, all the sudden your cocoa value went down 50%.

Also, don't think you can buy contracts that far out in anything except maybe crude oil and natural gas.
