Abicab at ISM: Hall 5.2, Stand F011a
The third largest global producer of candy and chocolates, Brazil is investing in local flavours to expand its share of the international market. Authentic Brazilian ingredients, like native fruit and Amazonian cacao, feature in the 90 product launches that the Brazilian industry is bringing to ISM 2013.
There are 19 companies participating in the fair under the coordination of Abicab (the Brazilian Association of Cacao, Chocolates, Candies and Byproducts Industry), in partnership with Apex-Brasil (the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency): Bel, Chocolates Garoto, Docile, Dori, Embaré, Harald, Montevergine, Munarfrey, Peccin, Pietrobon, Pompéia, Produtos Alimentos Arapongas, Produtos Erlan, Riclan, FINI, Sweet bee, Simas, Toffano, Vonpar.
These companies will bring, among many others, products that highlight the trend of combining a tradition in producing candy and chocolates with typically Brazilian ingredients.
“The Brazilian confectionery industry has a history that spans approximately one and a half centuries, most of it steeped in tradition. This tradition, along with the knowledge behind making confectionery are more and more commonly being joined by new, authentically Brazilian ingredients, flavours and ideas, with resulting launches that are equally increasingly diversified and boasting innovative flavours. This is a niche that has begun to grow and we want to show that to the world”, says Abicab vice president of Exports, Solange Isidoro.
