This month, South American Business Information revealed, Hershey plans to launch four new cereal bars and extend its ‘light’ product line in Brazil.
The Brazilian market offers a growth rate of 15% per year and, the company estimates, 350m cereal bars were manufactured there in the past year – more than double the volume registered in 2004. Isabel Maranhao, Hershey’s marketing manager, said the cereal bars market grew 50% in value during 2005, SABI reported.
