Editing Cadbury (section)

=== South Africa ===
Cadbury was introduced to South Africa in 1903 by the Cadbury brothers, Richard and George.<ref name=":2">{{cite web |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=5 September 2018 |title=Cadbury celebrates 80 years of sharing the joy in South Africa |url=https://cadburyjoyvault.co.za/36425-cadbury-celebrates-80-years-of-sharing-the-joy-in-south-africa |access-date=9 October 2020 |website=Cadbury Joy Vault |publisher=Cadbury |archive-date=18 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201018003927/https://cadburyjoyvault.co.za/36425-cadbury-celebrates-80-years-of-sharing-the-joy-in-south-africa |url-status=live }}</ref> The brothers appointed a sales agent to sell their products to the locals. The brand's popularity grew such that in 1926, the South African arm of Cadbury was formed and plans were made to construct a local chocolate manufacturing plant.

Cadbury broke ground with a chocolate plant in [[Port Elizabeth]] in 1930. By 1938, the first locally produced moulded Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate slabs were produced. The first slabs of chocolate produced were the ''Milk, Nut Milk, Milk Fruit, Nut Brazil, Fruit & Nut and Bournville'' variety of Cadbury products.

In the 1950s, the Port Elizabeth factory was expanded to include a new laboratory in order to start producing new products, such as the ''Flake'' and ''Crunchie Bar'' (1960s). By the 1970s, the factory was expanded again to add a new Raw Materials Store and crumb silos. These have since become a local landmark. The same factory still produces some of the supply of Cadbury chocolate in South Africa.<ref name=":2" />

In 2011, [[Kraft Foods]], the company that then owned Cadbury, announced that it would be launching a fair-trade Dairy Milk chocolate bar on the South African market. The product had been available in other countries where Cadbury operated since 2009. The South African operation of Cadbury has a completely Africa-based supply chain, with cocoa beans bought in [[Ghana]] and the chocolate bars made in the factory at Port Elizabeth.<ref>{{cite press release |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Kraft Foods announces launch of fair trade Cadbury chocolate bar in South Africa |url=https://agritrade.cta.int/en/Agriculture/Topics/Product-differentiation/Kraft-Foods-announces-launch-of-fair-trade-Cadbury-chocolate-bar-in-South-Africa.html |date=9 August 2011 |access-date=9 October 2020 |archive-date=26 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210226131724/https://agritrade.cta.int/en/Agriculture/Topics/Product-differentiation/Kraft-Foods-announces-launch-of-fair-trade-Cadbury-chocolate-bar-in-South-Africa.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
