Food

    

Simple population growth will continue to nourish demand for processed foods, making food manufacturing less sensitive to changes in economic conditions. However, price fluctuations do not go unnoticed and influence buying behaviors. Food processors minimize manufacturing costs by using energy-saving technologies and high-speed, automated machinery; yet, they are still subject to the effects of raw ingredient pricing. Import and export markets play an important role in the global trade of food by fostering competition and new product choices. The industry must remain dynamic, adapting to changing preferences and capitalizing on new markets.
