In recent times, global markets have witnessed a significant rise in chocolate prices, mainly due to the scarcity of cocoa beans, the primary ingredient in its production. This shortage is driven by several factors, most notably climate change, crop diseases, and increased global demand. As a result, cocoa prices in global exchanges have reached record highs, directly impacting chocolate prices in stores. This situation may push companies to search for alternatives or develop products containing lower cocoa content to reduce costs, while consumers may turn to moderate consumption or seek alternative options.
