The video explains the recent challenges in the chocolate market. In the first half of 2025, the price of cocoa beans rose significantly, becoming more expensive than some metals. This was caused by a combination of factors in West Africa, including extreme weather and a virus that damaged crops and led to a major supply shortage. This limited supply impacted financial markets, driving prices even higher. As a result, chocolate companies are raising prices and using a practice called "shrinkflation," where products are made smaller. The market remains complex, despite a recent report suggesting a possible surplus.
