11 Apr 2019 --- Swiss-based chocolate and cocoa products manufacturer Barry Callebaut has reported an acceleration in sales volume growth of 3.1 percent in the second quarter, leading to a 2.4 percent increase in sales volume to 1,05 tons in the first six months of fiscal year 2018/19. Sales volume in the chocolate business grew by 3.5 percent, which was partly offset by an anticipated decline of 1.7 percent in Global Cocoa. “We have good visibility in our portfolio and expect a further acceleration in sales momentum. This makes us confident we can deliver on our current mid-term guidance,” Barry Callebaut CEO Antoine de Saint-Affrique says.
