Trends in the market: In Seychelles, the Spreads & Sweeteners Market within The Food market is experiencing a surge in demand for healthier options, as consumers become more health-conscious. This trend is driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and increasing awareness about the negative effects of excessive sugar consumption.
