All the Countries That Contribute to a Single Jar of Nutella

All the Countries That Contribute to a Single Jar of Nutella | Buzz Francophone | Scoop.it
Turkish hazelnuts, Malaysian palm oil, Nigerian cocoa, Brazilian sugar, French vanilla...

 

Some 250,000 tons of Nutella are now sold across 75 countries around the world every year, according to the OECD. Nutella is a perfect example of what globalization has meant for popular foodstuffs: Not only is it sold everywhere, but its ingredients are sourced from all over the place too.

Mrs Parkinson's curator insight, February 12, 2014 3:48 PM

GCSE Globalisation info - great case study

Amanda Morgan's curator insight, September 18, 2014 10:55 AM

I was surprised to see how many countries contribute to s single jar of nutella. I have always assumed it came straight from Italy just because it is an Italian commodity. It is a positive thing to see because you look at the commerce and trade that is generated throughout the world through this one brand alone

Matt Danielson's curator insight, December 12, 2018 4:05 PM
This is the perfect product to use as an example of global trade. Starting from somewhere like Malaysia using palm oil, and traveling around the world to collect all the ingredients needed to create a common product found on American grocery store shelfs.  Makes me laugh when people complain how expensive a product like this is, when in reality due to modern technology the product is extremely affordable taking into account the processes it must go through to be created.
