In Switzerland, supermarkets significantly increased the prices of chocolate eggs, bunnies and similar products shortly before Easter. Products from brands like Ferrero have seen price increases of up to 12 percent.
The above-average price increase for chocolate products is due to the increase in raw material prices for cocoa, which also affects Germany. Cocoa producers are experiencing lower crop yields due to climate change. Lidl “does not want to pass on all price increases to our customers” The discounter LidL at least offers hope that the increase. in raw Material prices will not be passed on to consumers.
