Belgium-based chocolatier Duc d’O plans to begin exporting its chocolate products to India.

A company representative said today (4 April): “There are concrete plans in place to develop the Indian market.”

Duc d’O has signed a marketing and distribution deal that will see Cosmo Fine Foods of India act as its local distributor in the market.

The agreement was reached in the context of Belgium’s recent royal visit to India as the Belgian government works to strengthen its trading relationship with the growing Indian market for consumables.
