Due to sustained high cocoa prices—driven by a sharp surge in the latter half of last year, peaking in December—costs are now being passed on to importers and manufacturers. Additionally, the weakened Australian dollar, currently sitting around 60 cents against the US dollar, has further impacted pricing. As a result, chocolate products in Australia have become significantly more expensive. At Witham’s, we’ve experienced a 14% increase in the cost of producing our chocolate powder. Regrettably, we are no longer able to absorb these rising costs. Effective from Monday the 19th May 2025, Witham’s 1kg chocolate powder will increase by $1.
