Cocoa prices have surged to record levels, with prices breaking $10,000 a tonne and doubling this year. The increase in cocoa prices is impacting chocolate Easter treats, leading to higher prices for consumers. The surge is attributed to poor harvests due to unusual weather conditions in West Africa, including heat waves and diseases. The unprecedented shortages in the cocoa market are pushing the industry to its breaking point, affecting major chocolate companies and consumers alike. Egg prices are also at near-historic highs, driven by factors such as bird flu, weather conditions, and inflation, reflecting a market under pressure from disease, high demand, and rising costs for farmers.
