最新报道:Hershey announces a 20% price hike for its chocolate products, citing rising costs of cocoa, sugar, and labor as key factors. The company joins other major confectionery brands in adjusting prices amid a sector-wide surge in production expenses. Hershey's CEO Michele Buck stated the increase is necessary to maintain product quality and supply chain stability. Analysts note cocoa prices have doubled over the past year due to poor harvests in West Africa, while sugar costs remain volatile. The price adjustment will be implemented gradually across global markets starting Q3 2024.
