Preserving Chocolate for Future Generations

AVAILABLE ON DEMAND As demand for chocolate grows in developing markets, can the existing cocoa-growing regions meet the supply-side challenge? Bettering the economics for small farmers in Africa, Asia, South and Central America requires a comprehensive approach, one that takes into account improving agricultural practices, enhancing supply chain infrastructures, expanding community services, boosting farmer incomes and taking advantage of evolving technologies.

2021 Candy State of the Industry

On Demand Confectionery industry experts weigh in on the state of the candy industry, which has gone through the most massive shift in recent memory after grappling with COVID-19. While confectionery as a whole proved to be “pandemic proof,” not every individual category fared so well. Experts will share the insights they’ve gleaned over the last year, while also offering predictions on what’s to come.

Seasonal Candy Trends in a Post-Pandemic World

Seasonal candy continues to drive innovation and growth in the industry, and candymakers are tapping into that potentially more than ever before. While the focus on traditional fall and winter holidays remains strong, candy companies are creating more products for non-traditional celebrations during other times of the years, and they are marketing them in exciting new ways to reach consumers both in-store and online.
