Last year Cadburys sold over 7 million chocolate products made with Fair Trade cocoa and this supported 65,000 jobs in …show more content…
However, after large amounts of pressure from environmentalists, households and then businesses refusing to stock Cadburys chocolate, Cadburys finally conceded and moved back to the old recipe. The marketing director Matthew Oldham said, ‘At the time, we genuinely believed we were making the right decision, for the right reasons. But we got it wrong. Now we 're putting things right as soon as we possibly can, and hope Kiwis will forgive us’ (CHECK WHEN HE SAID THIS) However this short change made a large impact on the economic sectors that surround Cadburys. Households were refusing to buy Cadburys chocolate so the amount of money coming in from consumer spending dropped. If Cadburys had refused to stop using palm oil the drop in sales would have meant a drop in production and probably a loss of jobs. Less people employed might have meant more people relying on the Government. Less companies overseas importing the chocolate meant less export receipts. Because the company was also earning less money the amount they were paying in governments tax would also decrease affecting the Governments income and its

In order to achieve economic stability and growth, the Malaysian government had plans to restructure the nation’s subsidy program steadily. On 25th October 2013, during the annual budget planning for 2014 which was themed “Strengthening Economic Resilience, Accelerating Transformation and Fulfilling Promises” the Prime Minister announced that the sugar subsidy of 34 cents will be abolished (Malaysia B.N, 2014). This pushed the market price of sugar to increase from RM2.50 to RM2.84 causing a microeconomic event. The sugar industry in Malaysia has a consistent demand which is parallel to the growth of food processing industries and households. Since there is a lack of direct substitute for the dynamic demand for sugar, this announcement caused a stir. Sugar producers and distributors whom forecasted this announcement took advantage by hiding the stock and even forced consumers to purchase additional items in order to purchase sugar causing an imbalanced economy leading to the scarcity of sugar in the market. The supply for sugar was insufficient to cater the increasing demand for it. For instance, sugar was scarce in Sabah which delayed Raya preparations (Sugaronline, 2013). Conversely, sugar producers generated higher incomes when the price of sugar increased.
The market can be further divided according to gender because both men and women have different tastes (chocolate shapes, packaging, and type of liquor). It is known that women are already consuming chocolate. In fact, the numbers of women that consume chocolate far outnumber the numbers of men that consume chocolate.

Cocoa production is predicted of getting shortage of supply in 2020 (Nelson, 2017). The famous chocolate drink that Malaysian drink daily, Milo contains cocoa. Other than Milo, Koko Krunch, Nestle Crunch Wafer, KitKat are also mainly made from cocoa. Nestle as a company which largely depends on cocoa bean for its products, will become one of the victim of this cocoa supply risk. The biggest cocoa producer in the world, Ivory Coast, is facing the problem of diseases infected in cocoa plant, frequent rain, and buyers forcing producers to sell cocoa at very low price (The Guardian, 2014). In Malaysia and Indonesia, cocoa plantations are threatened by a tiny moth named as cocoa pod borer which eat the seed (Nelson, 2017).. These pests has cost cocoa
Introduction The 58 million pounds of chocolate eaten on chocolate the drenched holiday of Valentines Day is likely made from cocoa beans from West Africa. The Ivory Coast, also known as Cote D'ivoire in Africa is the source of about 35 percent of the world’s cocoa production. These cocoa beans were likely harvested by unpaid child workers that are being held captive on plantations as slaves. Chocolate companies use these cocoa plantations as their cocoa source for their chocolate products. And since the companies want to maximize their profit, they push plantation owners to lower prices, causing plantations to cut price any way possible (Philpott).
