GLOBALink | Low in chocolate consumption, China opportunity for Swiss maker

With Christmas around the corner, Swiss chocolate giant Barry Callebaut sees China as an exciting market as more consumers there seek out a more sweet appetite, its chief executive told Xinhua.

"China is a very exciting market for us," said Peter Boone, CEO of Barry Callebaut Group, which is one of the world's leading chocolate makers. "The Chinese eat much less chocolate than the people in Switzerland ... we expect them to start to enjoy within a croissant or within a cake, more and more chocolates."
