...from the strong economic growth predicted for these countries in the coming years. Malaysia also has a young population and increasing wealth of its own. Because of these factors, Malaysia is poised to become a major consumer of agri-food and seafood products in the near future. This growing demand for agri-food and seafood products, as well as the changing demographics and culture of the country, will likely spur growth in an already fastgrowing consumer foodservice industry. While there exist significant differences among Malaysian demographics (Malaysia is culturally diverse), there remain some common themes. Malaysia as a whole is becoming more urban, and remains characterized by a young and growing workforce. The leading sectors in the Malaysian consumer foodservice industry are the café/bar segment, the full-service restaurant segment and the fast food segment. These three segments of the foodservice market account for over half of sales in both value and volume terms. However, there are opportunities to be found in the smaller sectors of the market as well. Malaysia has a strong tourism industry and this is reflected in the large number of hotels and resorts present in the country. The tourism sector is quite important to the foodservice industry as it is home to many five-star hotels (which usually have at least one full-service restaurant). This sector has been growing and is expected to continue doing so as the government has been encouraging expansion. It should be noted...

Private standards have emerged as one of the most important mode of market governance in many countries. As many issues emerge pertaining to implications of food practices on health, the focus is on ensuring that the foods that enter or leave a given country meet the minimum standards for health. According to OECD (2004) the agri-food sector has seen the emergence...

...Industry Overview: Craft Breweries & Microbreweries Craft breweries and microbreweries produce beer in limited quantities when compared to large breweries (generally under 10,000 barrels per year) and usually distribute their beer within a limited geographic region. Craft breweries often specialize in specific styles of beer, and focus on providing customers a superior product, using traditional brewing techniques. Certain craft breweries sell beer directly on their premises, and are called brewpubs. Craft breweries are known to develop clever marketing strategies with limited budgets in order to connect with their target markets. Industry Overview BC In 2009, 209 breweries were identified by Statistics Canada and 49 of those establishments were located in British Columbia. However, an article by The Province estimates that by the end of 2013 there will be more than 60 independent breweries (this number includes microbreweries, nanobreweries and brew pubs). This increase in breweries is mirrored by an increase of 6.4% of microbrewery beer sales in British Columbia in March 2007 to 12.7% in March 2011. In the last two years, this number have only grown. In an article published July 3, 2013, The Province asserts that craft beer is almost at 20% of the market share for beer in British Columbia, while BC Business cites the Craft Brewers Association of British Columbia in stating that the market share is currently around 15% but that many brewers are experiencing sales growth...

A very small player by world standards, Canadian wineries face intense and intensifying competition within the domestic market. The demand side of this market is dominated by a small number of large provincial monopoly retailers. The supply side comprises five substantial firms that account for ninety percent of total wine production and a large number of very small wineries. The Canadian competitive environment is characterized by strong historical reputations of (and consumer preferences for) Old World wines, economies of scale and technology associated with New World wines, (at best) stable per capita wine consumption patterns, rapid increases in both the number of domestic wineries and land under viticulture...

...Current Situation and Problem Asian Agri, founded in 1979, is one of Asia’s largest integrated palm oil producers. Asian Agri exported about 3 million tonnes of palm oil in 2009, and currently manages 28 oil palm plantations, 19 palm oil mills and four refineries. The company is also a strong advocate for sustainable palm oil production and usage, and is currently a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Sukanto Tanoto, founder of Asian Agri, is currently facing a dilemma in the future developments of Asian Agri. Although he believes that palm oil has a bright future ahead, there are many challenges faced by the company in its expansion such as the increasing difficulty in acquiring land in Indonesia, and the rising pressure from the international NGOs. Future of Palm Oil and Asian Agri Tanoto is right on the bright future of palm oil. Firstly, palm oil, also known as the “golden corp” of Southeast Asia, is the most economic edible oil to produce given its highest yield and lowest cost of production compared to other edible oil. Secondly, with the fast-growing population around the world, and the need to drive economic growth in developing nations such as China and India, the demand for food and fuel is expected to grow significantly, thus the same for palm oil. Thirdly, there are many rising health concerns with trans fat, and many consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies and consumers are seeking to limit trans fat consumption. Thus palm oil...

...VIETNAM: FOOD PROCESSING In the past 15 years Vietnam was grown from a net importer of food to a substantial exporter. It is the world's second most important exporter of rice, and the world's largest coffee exporter and producer of cashew nuts. Tea, peppers, nuts and spices have become important exports. Rice and coffee account for about half of agricultural export revenues. Soybeans, cashews, sugar cane, peanuts, bananas, poultry, fish and seafood are growing. Vietnam's agricultural exports are vulnerable to international price fluctuations because these exports are largely commodity based. Vietnam's agricultural fishing and forestry industries together produce over US$3 billion of goods annually. Roughly 55% of Vietnam's workforce is employed in agriculture. Commensurate with economic development, the sector had gone from a 25% share of GDP to less than 20% in 2008. Farm products accounted for 22% of the country's income in 2008, down sharply from 50% in 2005. Finally 17% of all of its exports are related to the agricultural, fisheries or food processing industries, down from 55% in 2006. Despite the trend, agriculture will continue to be very important as it raises the productivity of the 70% of Vietnam's population that lives in rural areas. Traditionally, Vietnam has protected agricultural market with regulations and high tariffs. Vietnam's WTO accession reduced tariffs and led to sharp increases in imports ($7.3 billion in agricultural goods by 2008). Key agricultural...

The Political Stability is based on a given country's record of peaceful transitions of power, ability of a government to stay in office and carry out its policies vis a vis risk credible risks of government collapse. Japan’s Political Stability index is 9 on a scale of 10. This shows a high Political stability. (Watch, 2011-2012) Barrier: Import Tariff Rate: 10% (Tariff, 2011) Risks: • Strict Trade policy for chocolate trading. • Diplomatic events in surrounding countries, results in less trade. Opportunities: Japan is the world’s fifth largest agri-food importer and one of the most significant export destinations for Canadian agri-food products. More and more Japanese consumers are willing to pay a premium price for quality food with healthy ingredients, as these consumers are increasingly interested in their health. This makes Japan a potentially attractive market for Canadian exporters of high-quality chocolate...

Publications Calendar of events Prices Global Agribusiness contacts 2 8 11 13 14 21 Regional views Overview With teams around the Globe, this document sets out to give a flavour of what our local agribusiness experts are observing in their territories. This month we are reminded of the ever present impact of volatility on Global agriculture. We have seen significant falls in dairy commodities, grains and oils in 2014 with coffee soaring in the opposite direction on the back of a drought in Brazil. The moves have happened quickly (e.g dairy down over 50% in New Zealand since February 2014 and coffee spot prices up over 30% since August 2014) and this can be difficult for farm families or small holders to deal with. For example in the UK, dairy farmers have taken to public protests and blockades. At PwC we are bullish on the long term prospects for agriculture given Global population and wealth trends however we also recognise that this future optimism can be meaningless to a farmer when short term production costs exceed selling price. Agriculture is a volatile industry and participants have to put in place their own strategies to deal with this which are right for them, be it selling forward or hedging for budget certainty, insuring where possible against crop loss, keeping a buffer of cash or liquid assets which...
