The sweet snack is also one of the most purchased FMCG products in the country. As with most food products these days, plenty of attention is devoted from consumers and industry professionals alike to how chocolate is manufactured, working conditions for those involved in production and environmental considerations regarding cocoa harvesting, which further fuels interest in fair trade chocolate.
