The price of cocoa has risen significantly, causing an increase in production costs for chocolate. Experts also warn of the negative impact of the VAT increase to 19% on prices. Producers are under pressure due to high costs and some may be tempted to find cheaper solutions, although chocolate substitution has been ruled out by specialists.
