SWOT
For the SWOT Analysis we have the Strengths and Weaknesses of the company and the Opportunities and Threats that the company might face in the new Market of Morocco.

Also the perception that chocolates and chocolate confectioneries are unhealthy might be a reason for consumers not to buy the company's products.
