Closing thoughts
• Media doom and gloom not in the grocery data
• Downward price pressures: private label, promotions,
discounters
• Focus on the consumer
• Compete on quality more than price!
• Premium opportunities exist:
–NPD: organic?, GM?, cloning?
–Sustainability: choice editing – trust in retailers
• Stay ahead of consumer sentiment and legislation
