COCOA butter is an essential<br />

component in the fmariufacture of<br />

confectionery products, but it is a major<br />

factor in the cost of production. The use<br />

of substitutes and equivalents 1 can not<br />

only reduce the cost of production, but it<br />

may simplify the manufacturing process<br />

itself. Equivalents and substitutes of<br />

cocoa butter are therefore imported into<br />

Russia in sufficient quantities 2 .<br />

From 2008 to the first half of 2011,<br />

185,100 metric tonnes (MT) of these<br />

products were imported, and the share of<br />

CBR is about 74.6% of total imports. The<br />

increase of these products to Russia was<br />

observed from 2008 to 2010.<br />

In 2009, imports of substitutes compared<br />

with the previous year increased by 15%,<br />

and in 2010, by almost 20%. Import of<br />

cocoa butter equivalents in the same<br />

period increased by 26% and 35.5%.<br />
