KC Con­fec­tionery Ltd, one of T&T’s most icon­ic her­itage brands, has an­nounced the suc­cess­ful ex­port of its new gin­ger mint line ex­ten­sions to Cana­da—a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone in the com­pa­ny’s strate­gic push for in­ter­na­tion­al growth.

This lat­est ship­ment marks the cul­mi­na­tion of months of prod­uct de­vel­op­ment dri­ven by con­sumer in­sights and un­der­scores KC’s com­mit­ment to in­no­va­tion, reg­u­la­to­ry com­pli­ance, and glob­al mar­ket ex­pan­sion.

A new re­lease from the com­pa­ny said this ship­ment rep­re­sents the cul­mi­na­tion of months of new prod­uct de­vel­op­ment shaped by con­sumer in­sights and high­lights the com­pa­ny’s com­mit­ment to in­no­va­tion, prod­uct com­pli­ance and in­ter­na­tion­al mar­ket ex­pan­sion.

The new gin­ger mint vari­ants—hon­ey and lime, lemon, and or­ange—were craft­ed in re­sponse to ris­ing in­ter­na­tion­al de­mand for KC’s orig­i­nal gin­ger mint prod­uct as each flavour was de­signed to ap­peal to evolv­ing con­sumer pref­er­ences for bold taste and func­tion­al ben­e­fits, while al­so meet­ing strin­gent in­ter­na­tion­al stan­dards.

The up­dat­ed pack­ag­ing re­flects KC’s proac­tive ap­proach to com­pli­ance, hav­ing been tai­lored to align with Cana­da’s up­com­ing front-of-pack nu­tri­tion la­belling (FO­PL) reg­u­la­tions, set to take ef­fect in Jan­u­ary 2026.

“This mile­stone is a state­ment about our readi­ness to com­pete and grow in new in­ter­na­tion­al mar­kets. We’re proud to be fly­ing the Trinidad and To­ba­go flag in Cana­da, with prod­ucts that meet evolv­ing glob­al stan­dards while stay­ing true to our sig­na­ture Caribbean flavour,” Ar­fan Khan, chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer of KC Con­fec­tionery Ltd said.

KC Con­fec­tionery cur­rent­ly ex­ports to more than 20 mar­kets world-wide and con­tin­ues to be a net for­eign ex­change earn­er for T&T.

Its in­no­va­tion-led ap­proach has po­si­tioned the com­pa­ny as a re­gion­al leader in the can­dy sec­tor, with a strong fo­cus on re­for­mu­la­tion and mar­ket adap­ta­tion.

The com­pa­ny not­ed the orig­i­nal gin­ger mint re­mains a flag­ship prod­uct, beloved by con­sumers both lo­cal­ly and abroad, in­clud­ing di­as­po­ra and non-di­as­po­ra com­mu­ni­ties.

The three new gin­ger mint flavours are ex­pect­ed to de­but on se­lect Cana­di­an re­tail shelves lat­er this month, sup­port­ed by KC’s ex­port dis­tri­b­u­tion part­ner.

This launch not on­ly strength­ens KC’s pres­ence in North Amer­i­ca but al­so re­in­forces its role as a cham­pi­on of Caribbean man­u­fac­tur­ing ex­cel­lence on the glob­al stage.
