2. Origin of Chocolate
โขThe origins of chocolate can be traced back to the ancient Maya and Aztec
Civilization in Central America, who first enjoyed 'chocolat' a much-prized spicy
drink made from roasted cocoa beans.
โขSoon 'chocolate' became a fashionable drink enjoyed by the rich in Spain.
โขBy 1606 chocolate was well established in Italy.
โขThe secret of chocolate was then taken to France in 1615.
โขGradually the custom of drinking chocolate spread across Europe, reaching
England in the 1650s.
โข Up until this point all chocolate recipes were based on plain chocolate . It was
an English doctor, Sir Hans Sloane, who - after travelling in South America -
focused on cocoa and food values, bringing a milk chocolate recipe back to
England.
The original Cadbury Milk Chocolate was prepared to his recipe.

in chocolate
โข Moreover, the International Cocoa Organization expect

investors see leading prices to climb even further.
โข To chocolate producers, India is especially attractive. For one
thing, fancy chocolate is an affordable luxury for India's new
consumers. For another, the country has a sweet tooth; Indian
cuisine has a rich menu of sugary concoctions.
โข Chocolate is also an acceptable holiday gift in place of
traditional sweets.

30. COMPETITIVE ASSESMENT
โข Food feuds keep share markets as well as consumers perennially interested. At
first, it was the cola giants that attacked each other using their ad campaigns as
daggers, and now the battlefield is fast becoming accustomed to the chocolate
giants โ Cadbury and Nestle.
โข These are both global brands which have been competing neck and neck over
market share for decades. However, their approach to advertising was never as
direct as it has become in the last three years.
โข Taking a lesson out of the cola giantsโ battlebook, Nestle is waging nothing short
of a public war against Cadbury through its ad campaigns.
โข Cadbury has, without a doubt, always been seen as the market leader. It leads the
pack in the Rs. 4,000-crore branded chocolate sector in India
โข Even though several brands such as Amul and Campco tried to break into the
market, none of them succeeded in shaking Cadburyโs grip.
โข Nestle is the only real competition Cadbury has had in its long run as market
leader.
31. Threats & Substitutes of Cadbury
โข Competition- Cut-throat competition from rival brands like
Nestle, Amul and international chocolate brands
โข The current trends in the market suggest that traditional
sweets are possible substitutes for chocolates. In order to
strengthen the special relationship consumers share with
chocolates
โข New entrance and individual players ( rise in sale of
homemade chocolates)
โข Preference and availability of other substitutes ( sweets and
desserts) such as pastries, cookies, biscuits, cakes, etc.
