Choconomics: The Rising Cost Of Chocolate
Manage episode 409198175 series 121490
As we head into Easter you may have noticed the price of your seasonal sweet treats like chocolate bunnies and eggs are a bit higher than last year.
The main reason is the price of cocoa beans or actually, the price of cocoa futures. They’ve skyrocketed by more than 100% in 2024 alone and tripled over the past year.
But why is that and will we be prepared to keep paying higher prices for the sweet stuff?
Guests
Tina Angelidis: Co-Owner, Adora Chocolates
Pia Piggott: Associate Analyst, Rabobank
Professor John Dumay: Accounting & Finance, Macquarie Business School
Paul Zahra: CEO, Australian Retailers Association
