Strong Swiss franc hits chocolate industry


Consumption of chocolate in Switzerland dropped slightly last year and sales abroad declined as a result of the strong Swiss franc and downbeat consumer confidence.

A total of 176,332 tons of chocolate products – worth SFr1.7 billion ($1.9 billion) - was sold in 2011, according to the industry association, Chocosuisse.
