Rising Cost of Cocoa

What’s behind the rising costs of coco?

At Coco’s Pantry, we are committed to bringing you the finest cocoa products to elevate your culinary creations. However, we want to keep you informed about some industry changes that might affect your staples.

Rising Costs of Cocoa

Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in the cost of cocoa. This rise is attributed to several factors:

●     Climate Change - adverse weather conditions in major cocoa-producing regions have impacted crop yields.

●     Supply Chain Disruptions - ongoing global logistics challenges have increased transportation costs.

●     Economic Factors - inflation and fluctuating currency exchange rates have contributed to higher prices for raw materials.

How this affects you and your business?

These factors inevitably lead to higher prices for cocoa and cocoa-based products. While we strive to absorb some of these costs, there will be slight price adjustments on our products. We understand that this can be concerning, and we are dedicated to helping you navigate these changes.

4. Substitute Wisely

For baking and cooking, consider using a mix of cocoa powder and chocolate. Cocoa powder is often more affordable and can be used creatively in recipes to stretch your chocolate supply. I am also looking at our brands to bring in for you to try.
