Easter egg price hikes are just the start as cocoa soars

Cocoa has more than doubled in price already this year, making it the world’s hottest commodity

At a supermarket in Ribeirão Preto, a city in São Paulo state, a sign reads 'Easter eggs in up to 10 monthly installments, without interest'.

As the Easter holidays approach, higher cocoa prices mean shoppers are paying far more for their chocolate eggs and bunnies. 

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
