In some retailers, the price of a great milk milk from Cadbury has increased to £ 6, and now chocolate manufacturers have warned that buyers must “prepare to pay more.”
The price of chocolate is at its highest point, after a poor cocoa harvest in December 2024.
According to the Express, the price of cocoa reached its maximum point in a “record record” of $ 12,900 per ton.
Chocolate manufacturers have warned that the price of cocoa is at its highest point due to bad harvests. They say they can have to reduce the size of their chocolate bars or, in some cases, even change the recipe, replace cocoa butter with cheaper oils and fats.@Polly_bartlett… pic.twitter.com/aquq2qdlq

The reason why the British will have to pay more for chocolate
Co -funder of Chocolatier Russell and Atwell, Giles Atwell, told The Outlet: “The peak was driven by a fall of -14% in global production, the extreme climate in Western Africa and the diseases of crops such as cocoa swollen spring virus.”
Add: “For anyone who works with chocolate, the price at this time is nothing less than a nightmare, even before the uncertainty of the global rate is taken into account.”
Currently in Tesco, the price of a large cadbury milk chocolate bar is £ 5, while in Asda, the same bar is £ 4.98.
In Sainsbury’s, the great bar of Cadbury costs £ 5.85, and in Morrisons, the bar is £ 5.

Many have questioned if the price of chocolate will soon decrease; However, Cocoa Chief in Marex, Jonathan Parkman, has told British to wait for him to remain high for some time.
Counting the Good Morning Britain of ITV: “The price of chocolate will remain high and will probably be a little higher than they are now.
“We are real in a very sensitive period. If we have another deficit, prices will be even higher than they have done so far.”
