Perhaps the solution would be a genetically engineered yeast that secretes theobromine and can be grown in vats anywhere. In a decade or two, that may be the only economically viable source of chocolate, and a few decades later, there may be nobody left who remembers the difference.
There's some evidence that just plain-old genetic diversity solves the problem quite finely. But one one variety of cocoa has been manipulated into the hugely productive plants we expect them to be.
