Oh No!
Chocolate prices are on the rise AGAIN!
How? Why? What’s going ON with the state of the world?!
WHERE TO BEGIN?
Well, we all know that during COVID-19 prices skyrocketed on almost all goods, imported or not.
COCOA WAS NO EXCEPTION...
This sent inflation rising swiftly, faster than we could blink and gather our breath. And, with how inflation works, prices never went back down.
Now, we’re dealing with a mix of horrible crop weather, an agricultural issue called Cocoa Swollen Shoot Disease in the largest cocoa-growing countries, and a new wave of smuggling due to rising costs.
I'm afraid the black market shot us all in the foot again, and unfortunately, two more factors will begin affecting the price soon.
FIRST WILL BE THE SUMMER HEAT....
The cost of safely sending the product to you, the customer, is increasing due to excessively hot summer weather and rising shipping costs, which are tied to the commodity price for gas and oil.
The good news is that we now offer Route Package Protection, which protects you against any mishap while your product is in transit. It may not reduce prices, but it certainly increases peace of mind, significantly as the temperature rises!
LET'S LEARN ABOUT CANADA AND MEXICO...
The second is that Canada is the top exporter of chocolate products to the United States, with 49.2%, and Mexico has 15.1%, and newly introduced tariffs will affect the price of those products.
We try to mitigate the price increases, but unfortunately, we are as affected by the ever-growing cost as you, the final consumers, and, yes, we are as frustrated by price increases as you must be!
We appreciate every customer and are grateful that you chose CandyFavorites.com for your candy needs.
WE WILL DO OUR VERY BEST BY YOU IN RETURN AND CONTINUALLY WORK TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE HIGHEST-QUALITY PRODUCTS ALONG WITH THE BEST SERVICE AND AFFORDABLE PRICES!
