High cocoa been prices are causing chocolate makers to reduce bar sizes, increase prices or use cheaper ingredients such as vegetable oils in products.
"Chocolate companies (in North America and Europe) are more likely to increase retail prices and shrink sizes of chocolate bars, which has been the trend for the last year."
