The problem is that as more and more of these hedge fund types get involved, then the price of the cocoa will increase.
“So far the cost hasn’t been passed on to the consumer – although bars and packs of chocolates have shrunk.
“But unofficial estimates say the price of chocolate bars could go up by up to 40% over the next couple of years.â€
Hilarious -- love the inflationary comment about the cost "not being passed on to consumers", although of course, the size of good has shrunk.
