Food processing

Article Abstract:

Growth for food processors is limited, in partly due to the growing market share of private-label brands, and the US market has reached its saturation point. The growing markets of Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia have become the focus of the larger-capitalized companies. Low fat and health food products are growing segments. Conservative investors will find several safe stocks with good returns in this industry.

Article Abstract:

Supermarket chains are expanding private-label products, both in variety and quality. This has kept prices for brand-name products low, even though market share has not increased. Food companies are more active in new product introduction and increasing their markets in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Several of these stocks are timely for conservative investors for the next three to five years.
