In 2023, the global increase in cocoa prices, driven by climate change and drought, has significantly impacted Turkish food exporters, especially those in the chocolate and cocoa sector. Despite cocoa prices surpassing 10 thousand dollars per ton, Turkey's exports in chocolate and cocoa products saw a 14.3 percent increase in the first two months, reaching 149.2 million dollars.
