About this episode
Chocolate prices have surged, with blocks now selling for $8 at major supermarkets - more than double what we were paid a decade ago.
Global cocoa prices spiked last year, but climate change and inflation aren’t the only culprits - with a little-known international deal also at play.
In this episode of The Briefing, we revisit Chris Spyrou’s chat with journalist and host of The Internet Reviewed on YouTube Kirsten Drysdale where they unpacked what’s really driving the rising cost of chocolate.
