The report said that he dark chocolate version of Toblerone’s most popular bar has been discontinued after nearly six decades on confectionery shelves. It was confirmed by Food manufacturer Mondelēz International confirmed in a statement that its 360g dark chocolate bar would no longer be sold in the UK.
It could be disappointing for the consumers for the discontinuation of Toblerone of all sizes. The decision comes as the UK heads into the Easter bank holiday weekend, when chocolate sales are expected to be elevated. But the industry has suffered from rising cocoa prices in recent years, reaching a record high in December, driven by a sharp fall in cocoa production.
The rising prices were "driven primarily by poor harvests from the two biggest cocoa producing countries in the world that account for 60% of global cocoa production - Ghana and the Ivory Coast."
