Fazer Sininen’s 200 and 180 gram chocolate bars cost 5 euros and 15 cents in some stores. The price is starting to reach such a level that the reader who sent a message to the editor of Iltalehti thinks he won’t buy the chocolate.
Director of Communications at Fazer Makeinte Liisa Eerola does not comment on consumer prices, but states that the background is above all the price of cocoa, which has risen sharply due to many poor harvest seasons.
Kesko’s director of purchasing and sales of industrial products says the same Created by the wind:
– The price of cocoa has risen significantly, which is also reflected in the prices of chocolate products.
