...match last year's, says Chocosuisse's Schmid. But some Switzerland-based chocolate producers are confident that the industry's immediate future is far from bleak. Lindt, makers of the iconic golden bunnies, predicts its 2009 sales are likely to increase by between 2 and 5% - short of its target of 6 to 8%, but still not bad in the current economy. While Nestlé, which manufactures, among other brands, Cailler and KitKat, is not releasing figures until the end of April, company chairman Peter Brabeck recently told Swiss newsmagazine Weltwoche that even amid a slacking consumer goods sector, chocolate...
