Apr, 04, 2022 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202214
The appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar will allow Brazilians to see a greater variety of chocolates this Easter.
A study by the National Confederation of Trade, Services, and Tourism (CNC), based on data from the Secretariat of Foreign Trade, points out that chocolate imports grew 8% this year compared to the same period last year.
At Easter last year, the dollar was valued at R$ 5.70, much higher than the current exchange rate of R$ 4.62 as of Monday, April 4th.
The sale of chocolates, the edible symbol of the holiday, will contribute to the volume increase among retail sales on the date, which should be 1.9% higher than Easter 2021, disregarding inflation.
The sector expects to see R$2.16 billion in revenue on the date.
