Chocolate manufacturer Lindt & Sprüngli is considering higher prices. The company blames the increase in the price of the most important ingredient in chocolate, cocoa.
The price rose by 62 percent last year and by more than 40 percent this year. Lindor chocolate balls were particularly in demand at Lindt last year, as the company reported when it presented its business figures. The Swiss chocolate manufacturer made 813 million francs (846 million euros) in operating profit (EBIT) last year.
