PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Margarines and cooking fats to gain ground as consumers adapt to price and supply pressures
The Bolivian market for butter and spreads is expected to register positive volume growth over the forecast period, despite facing various ongoing challenges in the short and medium term. These include a shortage of raw milk due to the drought, rising production costs, and the departure of small producers due to government-regulated prices.
Animal-based cooking fats to gain traction due to cost and authenticity concerns
Some consumers perceive animal-based cooking fats as more natural and less processed than refined vegetable oils - particularly when they are locally produced and free of additives. This perception, along with the scarcity and rising cost of vegetable oil, has encouraged their growing use as a substitute in everyday cooking.
Flavoured innovations will drive consumer interest in butter and margarine
Local margarine and butter producers have begun diversifying their offerings, introducing products infused with herbs and flavours such as garlic and aromatic seasonings. These innovations are particularly visible in the modern retail channel, where consumers are more likely to experiment with new formats, although they are gradually reaching the traditional channel as prices become more accessible.
