This Halloween might not be as sweet as usual Christen.
A decline in sugar cane crop is creating a shortage of
candy on store shelves as well as a price increase.
According to data by the Smart Cube, global sugar prices are up
about 42% since June of last year.
So the prices are also up 9% and candy prices are up 11% from last year
and the impending El Nino could impact sugar cane supply even further.
A representative from Hershey's said there will be plenty of candy for Halloween,
but it will likely cost more than usual
Kristen Halloween with candy shortages.
You concerned? You don't look like the candy type of person.
I don't know how I should interpret that. Jo
would you like to expand on camera? Well, well, do you eat a lot of candy? I don't know.
I I know I'm just making a joke.
Um After the healthy brainiac uh segment, yes, most ba basically on Halloween,
I just chew on a massive head of broccoli like we were showing in the last segment.
Case of viewers are wondering,
I'm just joking around here. I'm ok with the candy shortage I can survive.
But I'm sure for a lot of families, this is bad news. What do you think?
I am all good with it.
My kids collect the candy and then we give it away when people come to our house.
So all the better.
