"MARKET OUTLOOK
According to the Triton Market Research’s report, it is estimated that the cocoa market in Latin America will grow at a CAGR of 4.30% during the assessed years of 2021-2028. Brazil, Mexico, and Rest of Latin America shape the overall market in this region.
The cocoa market’s growth in Mexico is mainly owing to the rising governmental push and sustainability program by international companies. For instance, the Hershey Company has set up the Mexico Cocoa Project, a 10-year plan, to reestablish cocoa growing in Southern Mexico. Further, Mexico is among the few countries having conditions conducive to growing cocoa, which will help revive the cocoa sector in the country.
Additionally, the country has the potential to produce a variety of cocoa having good genetic quality. Hence, organic cocoa and fine flavor cocoa have huge opportunities to gain traction in the country. Therefore, such developments are likely to open new avenues for the Mexican cocoa market.
Colombia cocoa, for instance, is known for its flavor and aroma, classified in the special cocoa category. As per the International Cocoa Organization, a majority of the cocoa exported by Colombia is Fino de Aroma, a distinction given to only a few beans. Besides, the government has given precedence to the cocoa sector to enhance productivity and yields. Thus, such steps undertaken by the government are likely to fuel the growth of the cocoa market across Columbia.
COMPETITIVE OUTLOOK
Cargill Incorporated, Olam International Limited, Puratos Group, Touton SA, Natra SA, Ferrero Group, and Nestle SA are some of the distinguished companies in the cocoa market.
