Case Study: Tan Bun Skrati N.V.

HOW THE SUPPORT ENABLED RESULTS

Tan Bun Skrati N.V.’s sustained engagement in EU-funded initiatives implemented by Caribbean Export translated into tangible business gains. Beyond participating in these activities, the company’s progress was amplified through strategic visibility support: Tan Bun Skrati N.V. was featured in at least two Caribbean Export publications “Cultivating a Caribbean Specialty” (Primed for Success, Volume 3) and “7 Caribbean Chocolate Brands: From Cocoa Bean to Bar” helping to raise awareness of its brand and products both regionally and internationally. The EU-funded support translated into results through three linked pathways: Capability: Technical training improved chocolate tempering knowledge, enabling consistent quality, improved shelf stability, and more diverse product development (notably bonbons and pralines).

Capacity: Equipment investment and a purpose-built studio increased production capability and reduced bottlenecks, allowing the business to meet buyer requirements more reliably.

Competitiveness: Branding, packaging and mould improvements strengthened product presentation, reinforced origin storytelling, and supported stronger market positioning in specialty retail channels.
