About Bongo
Bongo is Delizia's ready-to-drink iced tea, sold in a 500ml bottle for one person and a two-litre bottle for the table. It is one of the smaller lines in the beverages business, which is otherwise built on fruit pulp drinks, nectars, purified water and the functional range, and it puts the company into a category dominated in Bolivia by the big international soft drinks bottlers rather than by local dairy processors.

About the owner: Delizia
Delizia is a privately held company headquartered in La Paz, Bolivia, founded in 1988. Brandtree records 8 brands under its control.
Compañía de Alimentos Ltda., which trades as Delizia, is the largest ice cream maker in Bolivia and a substantial dairy and soft drinks business besides. It began in 1988 in a garage in Miraflores, La Paz, where Felipe Vera Loza and Mabel Lavadenz launched a first artisanal litre of ice cream with five people and two machines; ice lollies and sticks drove the early growth, and yogurt followed in 1994 to become what is now its second-largest product line. In 2001 it opened an industrial plant in El Alto, the country's biggest dedicated to ice cream, beverages and dairy, and added distribution centres in El Alto and Santa Cruz in 2008. From 2010 it built a franchised agency network — more than 162 agencies — and turned its salespeople into micro-entrepreneurs in 2014 and 2015. It reported a 74.4 per cent share of the Bolivian ice cream market at the close of December 2024.
