Organic Chocolate Market Share is Growing



This is why we're here - to bring you organic chocolate. Earlier in our blog posts, we talked a little about why organic is better for you.


Face it, we're in business to make a profit. And since we're into the health benefits of chocolate (as well as the fun & sweet parts), today's post is educational in a different sort of way.

In an article posted on Creators Syndicate's website, it says that organic chocolate sales are growing, in spite of the recession.

"Despite the recession, overall chocolate sales rose 4 percent in 2008, to a whopping $17 billion. Organic chocolates are a bon-bon in the industry's 100-lb. box. But this is the nation's fastest growing snack - U.S. sales lept 450 percent between 1999 and 2007, jumping to $94 million. While figures are not yet available for 2008, vendors already forecast a rosy '09."

Even though we are a new company, only in our third year, Smith Organic Chocolates is growing in sales every year so far. We expect our holiday season to be quite busy and quite profitable. Our Internet website has already paid for itself in orders (and then some) for the year.

So...don't be afraid to treat yourself to some nice organic chocolates! Next time: a little bit about our new Organic Vanilla Creme Truffle!

Smith Organic Chocolates is dedicated to bringing you nutritional information available and to encourage you to buy organic!
