Coffee bean and cocoa bean prices are on the rise, which could be of concern to companies like Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Hershey and Tootsie Roll, according to RealMoney Pro contributor Chris Versace. But Versace says Mondelez International could be most susceptible to have its margins squeezed, being as it is vulnerable to both both coffee and cocoa prices. Versace details the trends he's seeing in these key commodity input prices and what's in store for companies like these should these trends continue.
