This aisle brings together dry biscuits, filled wafers and confectionery, sold in family boxes or full display units for resellers.
Chocolate biscuits fall into two families: coated biscuits, where the chocolate forms an outer layer that copes poorly with heat, and filled biscuits, where the cream is protected between two layers of dough. In a tropical climate, filled biscuits survive transport and storage far better.
Display formats bring the unit price down and suit shops as well as large households.
