China Chocolate Statistics
Chocolate will get more expensive. Why, because the Chinese seem to like it more and more.
Some chocolate makers predict that in 10 years the demand for cacao will be bigger than the supply.
Some chocolate consumption statistics
Europe - yearly 7 kg/person
Holland - yearly 4.5 kg/person
China - yearly 150 grams/person
In Shanghai the number of chocolate stores is definitely increasing. On festivals like Chinese New Year or Valentine’s day it’s a popular gift.
The paltry 150 gram leaves room for a lot of growth. Dentists will, as a by effect, profit too.
One of the better chocolate stores is in my district. They sell authentic Belgian Chocolate.
