In December, Barry Callebaut announced the largest acquisition in its history that of the Cocoa Ingredients Division from Petra Foods. With this, Barry Callebaut believes it will boost its presence in fast growing emerging markets to almost one-third of the Groups sales volume. This will enable the company, it said, to capitalise on the attractive growth rates in these markets for cocoa powder-based applications in beverages, compound chocolates, fillings, bakery products and ice cream.
