January 2008 management briefing
Rising commodity costs – and the ongoing tension between suppliers and retailers over passing those costs on to consumers – dominated the food industry landscape in 2007, and the next 12 months look set to be no different. This month’s briefing offers a preview of what we expect to be the major industry trends, issues and development in 2008. We look at both developed and developing markets across four key sectors – dairy products, impulse food, meal solutions and breakfast products.
