In rural areas, it is even lower. Chocolates in India are
consumed as indulgence and not as a snack food. A
strong volume growth was witnessed in the early 90’s

would to switchover to another product or brand.

 SUGGESTIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

 Chocolates products at kolkata city are available in comparison to


previous years, but still there is requirement of development in
Chocolate products. Due to increasing overall cost in Chocolate
Products everywhere, cost format should be made as such that it is
affordable to each and everyone in the society. In this we also
found that if the demanded brand is not available, so at that time
the customers switch over the brand of the chocolate so, here the
company should build up the healthy distribution channel by
which company can attract the customers .
