How is this profitable? 



The cocoa and other ingredients need to be planted, harvested and shipped. The goods change hands many times before they arrive in the factory.



There are trucks and ships involved in getting them there. 



Then the factory uses energy to process the goods.

The machines also need to be maintained. 

People working there need to be paid. The factory staff as well as the office overhead. 



Another round of logistics to get the final product to the supermarket.



Then there's the supermarket which also has staff to pay, rent for space and overhead for administration.



Then there are taxes for everyone involved. 



Considering all of this, how is it possible to offer this for 0.59 Euro? 

There are economics of scale sure, but it surely isn't worth it to go through all of this trouble for 0.59 Euro. Seems like someone is taking a loss to make this offer possible.

I thought Germany has inflation. So that was a lie.

Today I learned the absolute state of German education.

Do they not teach you about loss leaders in your middle school business classes?

Sugar is dirt cheap and raw materials probably cost 5 cents at most. Labor costs 5 cents, manufacturing overhead 4 cents, logistics 10 cents, distributors 10 cents, retailers 10 cent and manufacturer pocket 10 cent as pure profit. And to be fair I’m being very conservative with the profit margin here, in reality it be around 30% for the manufacturer

More of a Schogetten man myself

slave labor grows and processes the plants, so that cost is irrelevant

If they paid those people German wages, those candy bars would cost at least 10 euros

We poles pay 6 zl (1.6€) so our German overlords can have it cheaper. Simple as that

I dunno in first world, but in my socialist hellhole food is priced based in a fixated exchange rate that is actually 50% cheaper than international one (used for everything besides food medicine and other essentials)

Is that discount price by any chance. Same chocolate costs 1 Euro in Greece.

You guys have all the good chocolate. I pay premium for mid ass Lindt. Grim.

Hey! I think they sell same brand here too (or a similar one).

>It costs me $3 for some good milka here.

3 dollars? WTF! With that money you buy a jumbo-size one chocolate here (and from famous brands too).
