Belgian chocolate shops are getting ready for the Easter weekend amidst rising cocoa prices on global markets. Patricia Lafargue, a chocolate artisan at The Belgian Chocolate Makers in Brussels, talks about the ongoing challenges faced by the chocolate industry and the importance of favoring small cocoa and chocolate producers.
