AFP -Ivory Coast and Ghana are world's biggest cocoa exporters
The price of cocoa hit a new record fuelled by climate change and adverse weather conditions - impacting a market that has already seen high Easter chocolate prices in Europe.
In the latest price hike, the cocoa bean traded above $10,000 (£8,000) per tonne on world commodity markets, $2,000 more than last week.
The world's largest cocoa exporters - Ivory Coast and Ghana - suffered poor harvests after droughts in February following heavy rains in December.
Popular brands of Easter eggs will now cost 50% more than last year, forcing companies to promote non-chocolate Easter treats like biscuit bunnies.
