    “Chocolate bunny in danger”, warned the WWF before Easter, drawing attention to the growing cocoa shortage, which is also affecting food manufacturer Spitz from Attnang-Puchheim.

    “We are currently struggling through the worst cocoa bean harvest of all time, which is relevant for cocoa powder and chocolate, for example,” confirms Managing Director Walter Scherb.

    Global warming, distortions and poor harvests have led to the situation. “It was actually foreseeable for some time that something could happen, because global cocoa stocks have been falling since the early 1990s. In combination with a poor harvest, a crisis suddenly arises,” says the 34-year-old. Spitz has also responded by setting up an internal emergency response team.
