The snack market is actively developing in Ukraine. So, in 2020, according to statistics, Ukrainians consumed about 0.5 kg of snacks per year, while the total consumption level in Europe is 3.6 kg, in North America - about 11 kg.
This is reported by Organic Standard.
It is noted that global trends indicate that the snack market is moving in the direction of "health" and "naturalization", and the number of supporters of fast but healthy food is steadily growing.
