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