Halloween! For some of you, it’s the best time of the year. You love it even more than Christmas. Well, hang on to your Resee’s – there could be supply chain issues and prices could be going up this Halloween.
The Wall Street Journal reports a sugar supply strain could lead to high candy costs, affecting production. Candy producers blame the sugar shortage on a US agriculture policy requiring 85 percent of sugar from domestic sugar processors; however, farmers deny the policy caused shortages. Experts say candy will be available for Halloween; however, the price may be higher than in previous years.
You know, I have an easy solution to this. STOP MAKING CANDY CORN AND PEEPS – there, problem solved. Plenty of sugar to go around.
