reign supply for 2 of its primary ingredients: sugar and cocoa. Unfortunately,
these commodities are subject to rapidly changing prices in spite of accords
such as the International Sugar Agreement. This factor, in turn, can seriously
affect the industry's sales volumes and profit margins. Any sharp increase in the
international price of raw sugarcane or cocoa beans is quickly translated into
increased production costs and higher consumer prices; a downturn in produc-
tion volumes usually follows.
Steadily increasing provincial sales taxes are another indirect cost that can
have a negative effect on industry sales. However, over the long term, produc-
tion volumes in most categories have shown slow, steady growth. For example,
in 1973 the industry produced 68 895 t of all types of chocolate products, in-
cluding chocolate bars, boxed chocolates, seasonal novelties and chocolate
products sold in bulk and other forms. By 1984 the production of chocolate
confectionery had increased to 90 003 t. Similarly, in 1971, 16 772 t of chewing-
gum products came off the industry's production lines; by 1984 this amount had
increased to 19 565 t. Trends in sugar confectionery, which includes hard candy,
pan goods (hard and soft) and similar products, fluctuate. In 1971 the industry
produced 49 114 t of sugar confectionery; in 1984 the volume was 52 264 t.
Importation of hard-candy products affects the trend. The UK has always
been a major Canadian supplier of high-quality candies, but imports are in-
creasing from South American countries, notably Brazil and Argentina.
Statistics Canada reported that in 1997 the industry made shipments va-
lued at $1.48 billion. The industry is represented by the Confectionery Manu-
facturers Association of Canada, Toronto.
