Exporting cocoa to Spain

Spain plays an important role in the cocoa market, having the seventh-largest import volume of cocoa beans in Europe. Cocoa grinding companies lead the country’s growth in the cocoa and cocoa products sector, in which Spain also features as an important worldwide exporter and consumer of chocolate. Spanish domestic consumption is consistent, yet the value of consumed products is increasing, which indicates a growing national demand for high-quality products, particularly chocolates with high cocoa content. Spain is also home to an increasingly vibrant bean-to-bar movement, providing opportunities for exporters of high-quality cocoa.
