Confectioneryin the Maldives

Eighteen lines across three brands: Shan from Pakistan with twelve, Sotudex with four boxes and cups of dates, and Huxol from Germany with liquid sweetener. The Shan block is the dessert-mix half of the category. Jelly crystals come in strawberry, pineapple, orange, mango and banana. Custard powders run to vanilla, strawberry, mango and banana. Beyond them sit a jelly falooda mix, a special gulab jaman mix and roasted vermicelli — the components of the sweets served through Ramadan and at family occasions. Sotudex covers dates in four presentations: natural branch dates and natural standard dates by the box, processed dates by the box, and pitted processed dates in a cup. Huxol adds liquid sweetener in two lines. Pack sizes run 80g, 100g, 125g, 150g, 200g, 300g, 500g, 850g, 1kg and 2kg on the dry goods, with the sweeteners at 100ml and 200ml. Case configurations go up to 120×80g and 72×150g on the smaller retail packs, with 12 and 48 unit cases across the rest. Everything here is imported directly, cleared through Malé and held in the company's own temperature-controlled and dry warehousing before dispatch. Deliveries run on scheduled sea freight and speedboat services to resort docks and island retailers across the major atolls, with customs, import permits and label compliance handled in-house.
