In 2023, Spain led in global imports of cocoa paste, wholly or partly defatted, with notable import growth alongside Malaysia, Bulgaria, and several other countries. While Poland, France, and Russia saw declines, emerging importers like Namibia and Madagascar recorded significant increases. Canada's import levels dropped dramatically, indicating potential shifts in domestic supply chain strategies.
Future trends suggest a growing demand for cocoa paste in emerging markets, alongside notable sustainability practices in supply chains. Watch for technological advancements in processing and evolving consumer preferences in Europe and North America, which could alter import dynamics by 2025 and beyond.
