... ConAgra Foods is a giant in the food industry with a multitude of well-known brands under its corporate umbrella. ConAgra began its formation back in 1919 as Nebraska Consolidated Mills, providing grain for use in the food industry. Through the years, acquisition and regional expansion played a major role in the growth of CAF. (ConAgra Foods). Understanding the need, for diversification of its portfolio of companies, CAF embarked on strategic acquisition binge of food products, with hopes of taking them away from its grain mill identity. Known for its roots in milling and the addition of companies tied to animal feed, meat processing and pet supply operations, it was now one of the leading foods suppliers in the business, yet current CEO Bruce Rohde was faced with how CAF would transform an agribusiness giant to a value-added food processor. Its acquisitions and diversification strategy was successful. ConAgra made significant inroads into processed foods, with its new Packaged Foods Business Unit estimated to be 63.5% of its revenue stream and over 80% of its total operating profits in FY2004. Despite this success, CAF retained the image of a commodity-based agribusiness. Understanding the rapid changes that occur in the new business they expanded into, Mr. Rohde must establish a new identity and direction for the company. What were the next steps CAF would need to take in the process of transforming the company from an agribusiness giant to a value-added food processor...

...countries each day. More than 75% of McDonald's restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent local men and women. McDonald's predominantly sells hamburgers, various types of chicken sandwiches and products, French fries, soft drinks, breakfast items, and desserts. In most markets, McDonald's offers salads and vegetarian items, wraps and other localized fare. This local deviation from the standard menu is a characteristic for which the chain is particularly known, and one which is employed either to abide by regional food taboos (such as the religious prohibition of beef consumption in India) or to make available foods with which the regional market is more familiar (such as the sale of McRice in Indonesia). History The business began in 1940, with a restaurant opened by siblings Dick and Mac McDonald in San Bernardino, California. Their introduction of the "Speedy Service System" in 1948 established the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant. The present corporation dates its founding to the opening of a franchised restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines, Illinois on April 15, 1955, the ninth McDonald's restaurant overall. Kroc later purchased the McDonald brothers' equity in the company and led its worldwide expansion. With the successful expansion of McDonald's...

...sold in any McDonald’s outlets in India. The key success factors of McDonald’s multidomestic strategy stemmed from localization in terms of developing an Indianized menu that caters to the locals and practicing localized pricing for a price sensitive Indian market, as well as having a well-established supply chain in India. First of all, it is important for McDonald’s to fit its products to the Indian market. Having knowledge of the different ethnic groups’ food preferences, religious customs had allowed McDonald’s to localize the menu such that the food items suit the local context. As the Hindus who form a majority of India’s population consider cow sacred and “Indian Muslims do not eat pork” (Dash, 2005), it is important that beef and pork are not use as ingredients. If not, it is likely that the Indian consumers would shun McDonald’s and not frequent it. By localizing the menu such that 75% of it is being Indianized, instead of McDonald’s usual practice of maintaining 70% original and localizing 30% of the food menu, has been very effective as it helped McDonald’s gained acceptance from the Indian market especially when it first entered the Indian market. An indianized menu is essential in order for McDonald’s to operate and grow its business in India. Secondly, as the Indian population consists of various ethnic groups, it is also important that McDonald’s is sensitive to the preferences of the different groups and caters its products to as many different groups...

Nutraceutical is a term coined to describe substances which are not traditionally recognized nutrients but which have positive physiological effects on the human body. They do not easily fall into the legal category of food and drug and often inhabit a grey area between the two. Risk of toxicity or adverse effect of drugs led us to consider safer nutraceutical and functional food based approaches for the health management. This resulted in a world wide nutraceutical revolution. The nutraceutical revolution will lead us into a new era of medicine and health, in which the food industry will become a researchoriented one similar to the pharmaceutical industry.
