According to Sára, the price of sugar per ton was around EUR 500-550 euros until the fall of this year; it now costs EUR 1,000-1,100.
But while the market price of sugar has doubled in a few weeks, the currently available parlor sweets, chocolate Santa figures, and advent calendars were already ready in the summer, so they "only" rose in price by 15-20%.
Next year, a much higher increase in the price of sweets is expected.
