With private consumption turning negative for the first time in four years it is not surprising that food and drink producers are remaining cautious. The Dutch mass grocery retail (MGR) sector, given its essential nature, had been holding up fairly well in light of the economic conditions. 6c14bf4cd121ec1f7a3f3765a0200cf6Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)http://www.reportbuyer.com/food_drink/country_overviews_food_drink/japan_food_drink_report_q4_2009.htmlAs Japan appears to be slowly emerging from the 'Great Recession', there is little doubt that the country is substantially weaker than before. While the economy does seem to be improving, it is from a very deep trough, and as discussed in BMI's recently published Japan Food & Drink Report for Q409, this has had a major impact on consumer confidence and the country's food and drink industry. Japan benefits from a large and highly dynamic alcoholic drinks industry, which accounts for around 19% of the combined food and beverage industries. aeb6f48cff823d8508677f7f4af642fdSat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)http://www.reportbuyer.com/food_drink/country_overviews_food_drink/belarus_food_drink_report_q4_2009.htmlA marked decline in domestic and foreign investment together with a fall in exports are among the principle factors in BMI's forecast that Belarus' economy will contract by -1. 9% in 2009. Historically a market that foreign investors have avoided due largely to the state's prominent role in industry, Belarus has shown some signs that it is willing to adopt more liberal economic policies. f421f07a562b44ca2765f9d77ac578f9Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)http://www.reportbuyer.com/food_drink/country_overviews_food_drink/south_korea_food_drink_report_q4_2009.htmlThe South Korean economy has shown a number of signs that the worst of the downturn may now be over and as such we have revised up our 2009 real GDP forecast for the country from -3. 3% to a more modest contraction of 1. 9%. 6c54a16663f31d898f833d44b705d915Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)http://www.reportbuyer.com/food_drink/country_overviews_food_drink/pakistan_food_drink_report_q4_2009.htmlPakistan remains rooted to the bottom of BMI's Asia Pacific Food & Drink Business Environment Ratings table for Q409 after a disappointing quarter that reaffirmed the country's standing as the region's least attractive investment market by some distance. Our forecast that Pakistan's GDP will grow by 2. 5% in 2009, as opposed to recording a contraction, has more to do with its relative disconnection from the global economy. 445f50604961dfa2f9151cfa58101597Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)http://www.reportbuyer.com/food_drink/country_overviews_food_drink/nigeria_food_drink_report_q4_2009.htmlThe enigmatic Nigerian market remains a source of great promise for its leading brewers. A depressingly poor regulatory environment notwithstanding, Nigeria's beer industry is rapidly emerging as the continent's most promising. As Western beer-drinkers continue to tighten their belts, forcing a stuttering in beer volumes, Nigeria's industry is assuming greater importance to its multinational cast as discussed in BMI's recently published Nigeria Food & Drink Report for Q409. 942ae27eabad75d64e297d339381f5f8Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)http://www.reportbuyer.com/food_drink/country_overviews_food_drink/egypt_food_drink_report_q4_2009.htmlWith a population nearing 80mn, Egypt can rightfully claim to be the Middle East region's most promising fast-moving consumer goods market, not least when it comes to the unsaturated soft drinks industry and its emerging mass grocery retail (MGR) industry. Unmoved in fifth position in BMI's regional Food & Drink Business Environment Ratings table for Q409, Egypt remains arguably the most intriguing Middle Eastern market as discussed in BMI's recently published Egypt Food & Drink Report for Q409. The most significant development this quarter was undoubtedly the report by the France-based publication La Lettre de l'Expansion that French grocery retail behemoth Carrefour was planning to develop a footprint of 17 hypermarkets and 70 supermarkets over the next five years in partnership with its Middle East affiliate Majid Al Futtaim Group (MAF). 173fc7ca3f49bdb7d3d3c7954fdb1cb9Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)http://www.reportbuyer.com/food_drink/country_overviews_food_drink/spain_food_drink_report_q4_2009.htmlThere were several indicators over the last quarter of the impact of the ongoing recession on some of the major players in Spain's food, drink and mass grocery retail (MGR) sector. Firstly, in mid-July 2009, food and drink giant Sara Lee agreed to sell three bakeries in Spain to local food producer Grupo Siro. Following the completion of the transaction, Sara Lee's Spanish bakery business will consist of eight plants employing 2,500 people, while Siro will operate 14 production facilities with 3,100 employees. 28fb780aafb21c0375db5161dcdbb599Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)http://www.reportbuyer.com/food_drink/country_overviews_food_drink/food_drinks_specialists_switzerland.html Datamonitor's retail databooks are based on key market value data for eight major product sectors, 16 core retail distribution channels and 62 countries.

Although severe concerns over the state of its regulatory environment have yet to be resolved and a GDP contraction of 7. 8% is forecast in 2009 on the back of lower energy prices and a tumble in private investment flows, Russia remains a dynamic long-term market for existing multinational food and drink investors as discussed in BMI's recently published Russia Food & Drink Report for Q409. c26e6b70f7733bdaef3d64240c0f4e16Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)http://www.reportbuyer.com/food_drink/country_overviews_food_drink/2009_multiple_beverage_marketplace_japan.htmlDynamic And Diverse.

In 2013, expenditure on food is forecast to reach RON71. 2147eae517cd60d1734b6f67694d8ce6Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBFood & Drink/Country Overviews (Food & Drink)
