Lotte, a major confectionery maker, will raise the price and reduce the content of its main chocolate confectionery and gum after September in response to the continuing soaring prices of raw materials such as sugar and flour. I decided that.
According to the announcement, 74 products including the mainstay chocolate confectionery, gum, and gummies are subject to the "real price increase" that reduces the price and content.
The revisions will be made sequentially after September, and the shipping price of 71 products subject to price increases will be increased by approximately 4% to 17%.
Also, three products, such as chocolate in a bag and throat candy, will reduce their content by about 4% to 7% after September.
The reason is that the company has found it difficult to maintain prices due to rising raw material prices such as sugar, flour, and palm oil, as well as rising packaging and logistics costs.
Among major confectionery makers, Ezaki Glico will raise the price of its main chocolate confectionery from the end of August, and Calbee will raise the price of some products including its main potato chips from September. The movement to raise prices is spreading.
