However, cocoa butter is anticipating supply constraints due to the decreasing yields of cocoa in major producing countries. Thus, the price of cocoa butter is rising rapidly, which is forcing the makers of chocolates and confectioneries to opt for other alternatives which are equivalents to cocoa butter. Shea butter is being widely used by the manufacturers as a suitable replacement for the expensive cocoa butter for the application in chocolates and confectioneries.
