From January to November 2018, Brazilian confectionery sales to the foreign market grew 40.5 percent in volume and 37.5 percent in value, compared to the same period in 2017. By 2017, the industry’s sales abroad had already grown 19.44 percent in value compared to 2016.
“Companies are using healthier and higher-quality ingredients, as demand for differentiated products and consumer claims increases,” says Ubiracy Fonsêca, president of ABICAB. “Investments in new lines and the rebirth of the cocoa industry, with a sustainable production that preserves our forests, also contribute to a portfolio of quality products and sophistication, as well as genuinely Brazilian flavors that will be presented at the ISM.”
