By GlobalDataThe oriental category is worth GBP172m (US$255.6m) in the UK, with sales growing by 7%, the company said.
“There are still a large number of consumers who find the oriental category a little daunting and are unsure how to use the products or cook oriental food,” Grimshaw added. “Throughout 2008 Amoy has demonstrated that our products are as relevant today as they were 100 years ago, while also helping retailers to grow their sales.”
