By GlobalDataNigeria Food and Drink Report Q4 2013
The analysts in this report continue to maintain their positive long-term outlook on Nigeria’s food and drink sector, despite some near-term obstacles. Ongoing instability in the country’s northern regions, and high rates of inflation, which increased 8.7% year-on-year in July, is having a negative impact on consumer confidence. However, industry watchers believe the market has untapped potential, although a lack of agricultural technology and transport infrastructure are holding back domestic production.
Heinz Co, HJ in Packaged Food (World)
Heinz was acquired in 2013 by 3G Capital and Berkshire Hathaway in a US$28 billion deal. As this report will show, the company will receive significantly greater resources to expand its presence in emerging markets where it has for some time seen its fortunes lie. Its most recent acquisitions have been in Brazil and China and emerging market growth has for a number of years offset lacklustre performance in western Europe and North America.
Danone, Groupe in Packaged Food (World)
Danone’s streamlined dairy and baby food portfolio is well in tune with key growth-driving trends in packaged food, including wellness and snacking. According to this report, it has put a twin strategy in place to address the sluggish growth in Europe and to “invest and leverage” in emerging growth markets. In 2013, it has made a number of bolt-on acquisitions and set up joint ventures with the aim to build scale in its expansion target markets, including the US, China and Africa.
