KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 — Five brands of local chocolate products will potentially enter the international market by end 2025 when Langkawi in Kedah becomes a national chocolate hub.
He said the chocolate hub would have a major impact on the local chocolate industry such as increasing the average income of chocolate entrepreneurs by 10 per cent annually to RM16 million by the end of 2025 compared to RM10.7 million in 2019. “Aside from that, the creation of a chocolate hub in Langkawi will further boost demand for local chocolate products. This demand will directly increase domestic cocoa consumption,” he said during the question and answer session at Dewan Negara today.
Meanwhile, Mongin said the establishment of the chocolate hub in Langkawi is to encourage the participation of local chocolate entrepreneurs through providing a local business network equipped with various facilities for the production and sale of chocolate.
