processing industries. This wonderfully hygienic and durable alloy has become a favourite in domestic

kitchens and for the very same reasons, it is the material of choice in industries as diverse as the

processing of milk and dairy products, beer and wine making, confectionery, cooked meats and many,

many more.

y 2. History of Food Industryy As it exists today, the domestic food and beverage industry is a very competitive and

mature industry with little domestic growth. Increases in a companys market shareusually come at the expense of a competitors loss of market share (cannibalization).Overall most growth comes from international expansion. With the passage of NAFTAand GATT, many domestic companies are either entering into alliances with foreign

entities, or acquiring them. There are many reasons for this. For example, muchdomestic food and beverage companies want to take advantage of existing distributionsystems, or underutilized plant capacity. Some acquisitions may be motivated by Federalincome tax considerations.

y From the time that agriculture began about 7,000 years ago to the present there have beenmany important developments that are responsible for the state of the industry as it istoday. The following events have had a major impact on where the industry is today.

Event Explanation

IRRIGATION The use of some form of irrigation is well documented throughout thehistory of civilization. It has enabled food production to occur in areas

previously too hostile for plants and to counter the effects of drought.INDUSTRIALREVOLUTION

Resulted in mass production of food products at lower cost andconsistent characteristics.

FOODPRESERVATIVES

Classified into two main groups, antioxidants that delay or prevent thedeterioration of foods by oxidative materials and antimicrobial agentsthat inhibit the growth of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms infood.

PACKAGING Tinned products came to America in 1822 and allowed food to be storedfor long periods of time. Some packaging processes were developed toenable Napoleons armies to carry war to distant areas and remain wellfed.

PASTEURIZATION A partial sterilization accomplished by raising milk to a temperaturehigh enough to destroy pathogenic bacteria. This process allows milk toremain consumable for about 14 days if refrigerated in closedcontainers.

TRANSPORTATION First, railroads and barges, then trucks and air transportation haveenabled many food products to be enjoyed in regions where food cannotbe grown. Many locally grown food products can be consumed globally(bananas, fish, fruit, etc.).

Event Explanation

PESTICIDES Enabled farmers to significantly increase yield.

NUTRITION In the 1950s and forward, nutrition became a major concern forproduction/consumption. The emphasis on eating healthy has spawneda new market segment; for example organic foods, low-fat foods and

healthy foods all enjoy healthy margins and increased demand.

y All of the aforementioned technological developments have played a major role in theevolution of the food and beverage industry. There have also been some businessdevelopments that have had an impact on the current state of the industry.

Event Explanation

FUTURESMARKETS

Many food manufacturers participate in the futures markets by enteringinto futures contracts to hedge against price fluctuations for theirinventories of raw materials.

GOVERNMENTAGENCIES

OSHA and the FDA, have had a dramatic effect on the meat and foodprocessing plants. They have helped ensure safety in production andconsumption.

PRODUCTBRANDING

Branding of products is accomplished by extensive advertising, in manyinstances this product advertising costs more than the cost of production.Branding is partially responsible for the emergence of radio and television(soap operas).

FRANCHISING In the 1950s and 1960s, the concept of franchised restaurants waspromoted. This enabled franchisers to expand with limited capitalinvestment.

MERGERS and

ACQUISITIONS

In the 1980s there were many mergers and acquisitions of food and

beverage companies. This trend continues today.M

any companies areactively buying and selling brands like baseball teams trade players.

3. Trends

Beginning in the early 1980s, there has been extensive merger and acquisition activity in thefood and beverage industry. Many companies are selling specific brands to competitors in aneffort to get back to its core business. Several food and beverage manufacturers have spun offtheir restaurant businesses.

There is also a trend in the food and beverage industry to get to a paperless inventory system.

With the improvements in scanning equipment this is made possible. In many instancesordering, delivery, payment and stocking is all initiated and accomplished by software promptedby information captured by scanning equipment with very little human involvement.

Franchising continues to flourish in the restaurant and food distribution segments.

7. Industry Operating Procedures


4/15

A. Restaurant Industry

As a general rule full service restaurants are for the most part company owned with very littlefranchising. Fast food restaurants are heavily involved in franchising activities. Franchisees willpay a fixed per-cent of receipts to a franchiser for advertising and royalties. Some fast food

franchisers will lease the structure to the franchisee for a monthly rate or a percentage of sales.

Suppliers will help restaurant chains with marketing and advertising funds. It is not unusual formajor suppliers to offer rebates or provide upfront payments to obtain exclusive supplier status.

The internal controls of these chain restaurants are extensive; conversely individual independentrestaurants do not always enjoy these controls over operations.

Normally restaurants purchase from foodservice companies or they may purchase their inventoryfrom a national chain commissary. Perishable goods are usually purchased from a local vendor.

Four tip reporting programs are available for these taxpayers to enter into with the Service. Twoof these pro forma documents are titled Tip Reporting Alternative Commitment (TRAC) and TipRate Determination Agreements (TRDA). The IRS developed the Employer Designed TipReporting Alternative Commitment (EmTRAC) Agreement program in response to employers inthe food and beverage industry who expressed an interest in designing their own TRACprograms. Attributed Tip Income Program (ATIP) is a new three-year pilot program for foodand beverage employers. The first annual basis begins January 1, 2007. Details andrequirements for participation for employers and employees are available in Revenue Procedure2006-30.

The agreements serve a dual purpose: improving compliance of tipped employees and avoiding

tip examinations. The TRAC agreement is by far the more popular with large and midsizedtaxpayers. It can be obtainedat:http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/industries/article/0,,id=98367,00.html

B. Beverages

Normally manufacturers of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages sell to distributors who own afranchise to sell in a given geographic area. There is extensive government oversight over theliquor industry and individual states and local jurisdictions usually have rules and regulationsaffecting the sale of these beverages within their jurisdictions.

These beverage companies are very competitive and are focusing a lot of their activities inexpanding internationally.

C. FoodManufacturers

It is not uncommon for food manufacturers to spend more money advertising its products thanmaking the product. Most of these companies have to pay a fee to get a retailer to provide shelfspace for the manufacturers products (slotting payments). Some of the largest national


5/15

advertising budgets are those of food and beveragecompanies.

Manufacturers (vendors) provide various discounts and promotional funds to retailers, (volume,price, early payment, seasonal, rebates, cooperative advertising funds, market development

funds, slotting, etc.)

ECR (Efficient Consumer Response) is a concept that has been around since the late 1980s andis an initiative undertaken jointly by the manufacturers, distributors and retailers to improvedistribution practices and clean up abuses in the industry. Trade allowance practices, includingdeductions are a major component of the process. The scanning features on cash registersprovide data to all parties to make this process more efficient.

The use of coupons is extensive; many manufacturers have set up web-sites that provide couponson-line. These coupons are also available in the stores, magazines, newspapers and through themail.

Most manufacturers of food products have adopted just in time manufacturing processes.

Indian agriculture is in the throes of a paradigm shift, thanks to thestructural changes in the Indian economy. With the countryachieving self-sufficiency in grains production, emphasis haschanged from subsistence farming to commercialization, opening upvast opportunities for value-addition, packaging and exports, with astrikingly high level of technological involvement.

The holistic concept of food security, however, has two dimensions availability of food and access to food. While the former has beenachieved, the same is not the case with the latter. Despite bumpercrops, distribution of food grains continues to be faulty almost 30%of the food produced in the country is wasted. In such a scenario, it isimportant for us to reorient our historical agricultural policyframework from managing shortages to promoting efficiencies andvalue addition. Moreover, there is a need to increase the range offoods available to improve overall nutrition. The benefits in terms ofhealth, vitality and productivity are obvious, and cannot beunderestimated.

F&B News, Indias first newspaper in this sector, provides acomprehensive view of the food and beverage industry The Indianfood market is approximately Rs 2,50,000 crore ($69.4 billion), ofwhich value-added food products comprise Rs 80,000 crore ($22.2billion). Despite food production in the country is expected to double

by the year 2020, not much attention has been given to the growth ofthis vital industry, with no standard publication highlighting theimportance of this sector. F&B News aims to cover news, events,research, innovations, new products & processes, marketing and soon (both national and international), which will broadly cover around75 key areas in the food, beverage and its allied segments. Theseinclude food processing, bakery, confectionery, dairy, meat &poultry, fruits & vegetables, fisheries (including aquaculture), foodingredients, grocery retail, packaging, alcoholic beverages, softdrinks and bottled drinking water, canning, fats and oils, filters andfiltering materials, flavours and flavour enhancers, nutrient additives,

frozen food/refrigeration and thermo processing, among others.

With food production expected to double by 2020, large investmentsare already going into food and food processing technologies, skillsand equipment. Given the changing industry dynamics, it isparamount for F&B News to highlight news, issues and events in thesector, some of which are briefly discussed below.

y The food processing industry is witnessing a 20% annual growth rate and,consequently, the demand for processed foods and beverages in thecountry is constantly on the rise. There are 300 million upper-and-middle-class consumers of processed and packaged food in the country, andanother 200 million are expected to shift by 2010. In the scenario, the foodprocessing industry has been accorded priority status by the newgovernment with Subodh Kant Sahai holding independent charge of theMinistry of Food Processing Industries.

y Processed foods are primarily derived from agricultural commodities,which often incur multiple taxes at various stages. This multiple taxationhas a cascading effect on prices. Moreover, there is a wide variation in thelevel of taxes across states, which creates a barrier to the free flow ofmaterials from the farm to the factory and ultimately to the consumers.

y Post-Green Revolution, it is essential that agricultural research reorientedto address new challenges. As the existing crop seeds have reached yieldsaturation, there is an urgent need to evolve transgenic varieties throughthe application of biotechnology, RNA use, and molecular biology. Thesevarieties should have high yield, short maturity, pest and diseaseresistance, stress tolerance, and wider adaptability.

y With the help of indigenous breeds improvement programme, nutritionalresearch and improved cost-effective vaccine programmes, India hasachieved the distinction of being the highest milk producing country in theworld. Similarly, with processes in place to improve quality of marineproducts for internal and export markets, India is the seventh largestproducer of fish in the world and is ranked second in inland fishproduction.

y Special foods are available for every patient today, be it hypertension,diabetes, obesity, or even weight reduction. For instance, diet food andnutraceuticals are the latest fad. The market for sugar-free confectionery


8/15

and snack products is growing steadily. Motivated by a desire formaximum indulgence coupled with a wish for calorie control and healthbenefits, consumers are increasingly choosing sugar-free and sugar-reduced products.

y Packaging of food products has become important in order to ensuresafety and hygiene and to eliminate the possibility of adulteration. In somecases, more than 50% of the price of a product goes towards packaging.

Good packaging will greatly catalyze the development of a food-processing sector. However, packaging industry is yet to achieveinternational standards in the country.

While F&B News will focus on all these issues, it will also commenton the government policies, rules and regulations. There will beregular columns on food security and safety, research, new productsand processes, innovations, new technology and equipment, exportand import, marketing, international developments, reports on tradefairs and seminars and interviews and special features by eminentpeople in the industry.
