If you can’t even imagine your life without chocolate, you should accept the fact that your account will decrease a little faster again. The prices of this delicacy are rising rapidly and otherwise it will not be in the near future. Why?
For example, the Swiss chocolate factory Lindt & Sprüngli has recently pointed out its customers about the planned price increase of its products. This is not the only brand that must decide to take such a step. We are not talking about increasing the business profits as the price of the basic raw material, ie cocoa beans. The missile flew up and for their processors there is no other way than to adapt to this. And if we wanted to ask who the legendary black Peter falls as a result and pays the price of the beans from our own savings, then of course it is we who buy chocolate.

Weather and old plantations
Cocoa, made of cocoa beans, is still more expensive, has reached its historical maximum last year, but who knows whether it was just a short stop on the next trip. Why does this actually happen? The weather is to blame, or poor climatic conditions in countries that are the main producers of cocoa beans. For example, we can talk about the coast of ivory, or ghana, where under normal conditions will grow and mature more than half of the world’s production of this brown ingredient. But it is not just about the alternation of catastrophic drought with periods, when the plantations, on the other hand, whip heavy precipitation. In addition, according to experts, the fact that the current cocoa plantations simply age, and so the yields they offer are falling sharply.
The prices of other raw materials are also rising
Even if we forget the cocoa price, there are also other ingredients that chocolate cannot do without. Their price is also increasing. What is it about? For example, sugar and milk as other necessary components of delicious dark tables. Furthermore, the price of transport and energy needed to operate factories and, last but not least, the growing wages of farmers, which is actually good news. Cocoa plantations are largely dependent on the work of the poorest workers, but the ever -increasing pressure on at least slightly fairer remuneration also does its share in the price level for the customer.
For quality we pay extra (but not only for it)
As mentioned, high -quality chocolate brands are already increasing in the price, and the same will be the IU of those manufacturers who do not worry so much in their products in their products. This may also be due to the fact that the chocolate process is very lengthy, so it also requires a lot of energy, for example, for accurate temperament. It’s just nothing simple.
Chocolate does not get lost from the world
Could the current development lead to the end of the consumption of chocolate in the world? It is very difficult, for it is a so popular delicacy that many prefer to pay extra than they would give up. Indeed, for example, chocolate came to Europe at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries thanks to the Spaniards who discovered it on their expeditions to Central America. There, at that time, the Mayans and the Aztecs sipped her as a kind of ritual drink. Although we would hardly compare her taste at that time, there was a very hard time, there was no point in arguing about it.
Try a local manufacturer
How will you deal with the “chocolate disaster”? Certainly even now there will be various discount events in the stores, at lower prices it is possible to pre -pursue for a time when you need to encourage and improve the mood with a piece of sweet pleasure. You can also try local manufacturers who can offer better chocolate quality at the same price.
Chocolate is not evil
Anyway – whatever solution you decide – remember that chocolate is not just a sweet evil, as some opponents represent it. Conversely, if you choose quality chocolate with a minimum cocoa content of 70 %, then you can rightly expect help in the form of supplying the body with antioxidants that manage to fight so -called free radicals and thus improve condition and prevent premature cell aging. Not only that, flavonoids contained in chocolate reduces blood pressure and thus the risk of heart attack or stroke. Serotonins and endorphins, which are supported by chocolate, will eventually improve your mood. Do you want something more?
