While it may very well be true that alternative ingredients will play a role they could also just follow the regulations and not destroy forests to grow cocoa beans. Self-obliged regulation like fair trade has been a thing for decades now, chocosuisse will just have to live with some cuts to their profit margins and do some additional work.
Their alternative is no profit at all (those alternatives are not ready, according to the article), so the idea that they will just refuse to produce anything is pure propaganda.
