Customer preferences: As consumers become more health-conscious, there is a growing demand for natural and organic spreads and sweeteners. This trend is driven by a desire for clean label products and a greater awareness of the potential health benefits of these options. Additionally, with the rise of vegan and plant-based diets, there is a demand for alternative sweeteners like maple syrup and honey, which are perceived as more sustainable and ethically sourced.
