A new dish
THIS month we take a close look at two big sectors – beverage and meat – and it’s clear that they have many things in common, including a strong growth trajectory and the potential for disruption - in the form of a sugar backlash, and the meat-free movement respectively. In this issue we take a look at some of these challenges, as well as the opportunities that are emerging in response to these deep changes in consumer sentiment.
We explore, for instance, the disruptive potential of a new
breed of well-funded lab-grown meat startups on page 26 in our meat fish & poultry feature, and how local
companies can get in on the action.
And thanks to the health and wellness
movement, beverage companies must also adapt or
risk losing market share. The juice sub-sector is a
prime example, and Australian Beverages Council
CEO Geoff Parker fills us in (on p16) on how
consumer preferences are driving this market.
Speaking of adaptation, we also take a look at
Coca-Cola Amatil’s $165m shiny new facility in
Queensland, and how the latest technology is
boosting this beverage giant’s ability to innovate
in a fast changing market. And not to be left out,
TWE’s premium Penfolds brand is also getting
adventurous with the launch of some interesting new products including a fortified Barossa shiraz enlivened with Asian Baijiu for the Chinese market.
Now that’s the spirit!
