Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for cocoa-free sugar confectionery in Madagascar grew from 3 801 t in 2018 to 3 979 t in 2019, before declining to 2 819 t in 2020. Early in the period, initiatives to promote sustainable cocoa production aimed to enhance the quality of Madagascar's cocoa, potentially supporting the broader confectionery sector.

After a recovery to 3 317 t in 2021, volume dropped to 2 862 t in 2022. This decline coincided with the European Union's ban on imports of products linked to deforestation, which directly affected Madagascar's cocoa exports and likely influenced confectionery market conditions.

In 2023, market volume fell further to 2 229 t amid a crisis in the local cocoa value chain caused by a shortage of beans, disrupting supply. The following year, stricter food safety standards for confectionery were enforced, and a rise in new business registrations signaled increased economic dynamism in the sector.
