However, the crisis was taking its toll on even the most successful and healthy corporations. The crisis happened to hit Arcor at a critical time in the unfolding of its long-term strategic plans. Pagani had worked hard to make Arcor a dominant player in the Latin American confectionery market and had recently laid out plans to increase its presence in other regions. By 1999, he was ready to implement his strategy and was eager to work toward competing on the level of other multinational manufacturers, such as Mars, Nestlé, Kraft, Hershey, and Cadbury Schweppes. However, Arcor’s response to the domestic crisis had drained his focus and resources and forced him to put all expansion efforts on pause. Surveying the ruin around him and looking at the business his family had built up over three generations, Pagani thought hard about what to do with Arcor, both at home and abroad.

...Kraft Foods and Cadbury Introduction The confectionary industry all over the world is comprised of three products, that is, gum, sugar and confectionary. But the world-wide economic recession which in the last few years hit the North American and European markets, adversely affected the confectionary sales. In addition, undue pressure affected the sales volumes as more people moved towards healthier lifestyles, in attempt to avoid what they termed as unhealthy foods. In these developed countries, there are growing concerns about obesity and its side effects. Confectionary makers are now making smaller packets so as to reduce the prices of the purchase which in a way is kind of addressing some of the concerns about unhealthy foods. This is done by improving the portion control even though it increases the sales volumes per kilo, but does not affect the profit margins adversely. Even though the confectionary may tend to be termed as a luxury food item, the sales value appears to be recovering steadily from adversity. In the quest of offering premium products which are more profitable than increasing the sales volumes, the confectionary makers are offering what is seen as low value confectionary. These new products include pro-biotic and antioxidant chocolate. However, the current depression is expected to limit the growth of confectionary, because it is seen as a non-essential food item. Nevertheless, chocolate appears to be picking up in the market and was expected to...

For a number of years, confectionery sales in the region have experienced double digit annual growth, increasing by nearly 15% annually between 2005 and 2009. Annual chocolate sales exceed $4.2 billion in the Middle East. This trend is observable in many countries and especially in Saudi Arabia: the country represents the biggest market in the Middle East. Indeed it is valued at $544 million and registered a 5% annual growth during the last couple of years, which is a great opportunity for confectionery manufacturers looking to increase profits. Moreover, we notice that chocolate is king in Saudi Arabia: it accounts for 50% of total confectionary sales. The value of chocolate sales per unit is also rising, which offers many opportunities for profits. As the average income per capita increases, currently at $15,000, so does purchasing power and expenditure on luxury products, such as premium chocolate. This is good news for high quality chocolate manufacturers...
