INTRODUCTION

PLUNKETT’S FOOD INDUSTRY ALMANAC is designed as a general source for researchers of all types. The data and areas of interest covered are intentionally broad, ranging from the various aspects of the food and beverage industry, to emerging technology, to an in-depth look at the major firms (which we call “THE FOOD 500”) within the many segments that make up the food industry. This reference book is designed to assist with market research, strategic planning, employment searches, contact or prospect list creation and financial research, and as a data resource for executives and students of all types. PLUNKETT’S FOOD INDUSTRY ALMANAC takes a rounded approach for the general reader. This book presents a complete overview of the food and beverages field (see “How To Use This Book”). For example, sales trends in the U.S. and abroad are discussed, as well as the power of Walmart in the grocery sector, changes in distribution and new technology within the scope of the industry. THE FOOD 500 is our unique grouping of the biggest, most successful corporations in all segments of the food business. Tens of thousands of pieces of information, gathered from a wide variety of sources,

have been researched and are presented in a unique form that can be easily understood. This section includes thorough indexes to THE FOOD 500, by geography, industry, sales, brand names, subsidiary names and many other topics. (See Chapter 4.) Especially helpful is the way in which PLUNKETT’S FOOD INDUSTRY ALMANAC enables readers who have no business background to readily compare the financial records and growth plans of food and beverage companies and major industry groups. You’ll see the mid-term financial record of each firm, along with the impact of earnings, sales and strategic plans on each company’s potential to fuel growth, to serve new markets and to provide investment and employment opportunities. No other source provides this book’s easy-tounderstand comparisons of growth, expenditures, technologies, corporations and many other items of great importance to people of all types who may be studying this basic global industry. By scanning the data groups and the unique indexes, you can find the best information to fit your personal research needs. The major companies in food and beverages are profiled and then ranked using several different groups of specific criteria. Which firms are the biggest employers? Which companies earn the

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

most profits? These things and much more are easy to find. In addition to individual company profiles, an overview of food industry technologies and trends is provided. This book’s job is to help you sort through easy-to-understand summaries of today’s trends in a quick and effective manner. Whatever your purpose for researching the food field, you’ll find this book to be a valuable guide. Nonetheless, as is true with all resources, this volume has limitations that the reader should be aware of: •

Financial data and other corporate information can change quickly. A book of this type can be no more current than the data that was available as of the time of editing. Consequently, the financial picture, management and ownership of the firm(s) you are studying may have changed since the date of this book. For example, this almanac includes the most up-to-date sales figures and profits available to the editors as of early 2023. That means that we have typically used corporate financial data as of late 2022.

•

Corporate mergers, acquisitions and downsizing are occurring at a very rapid rate. Such events may have created significant change, subsequent to the publishing of this book, within a company you are studying.

•

Some of the companies in THE FOOD 500 are so large in scope and in variety of business endeavors conducted within a parent organization, that we have been unable to completely list all subsidiaries, affiliations, divisions and activities within a firm’s corporate structure.

•

This volume is intended to be a general guide to a vast industry. That means that researchers should look to this book for an overview and, when conducting in-depth research, should contact the specific corporations or industry associations in question for the very latest changes and data. Where possible, we have listed contact names, toll-free telephone numbers and internet site addresses for the companies, government agencies and industry associations involved so that the reader may get further details without unnecessary delay.

•

Tables of industry data and statistics used in this book include the latest numbers available at the time of printing, generally through mid-2022. In a few cases, the only complete data available was for earlier years.

•

We have used exhaustive efforts to locate and fairly present accurate and complete data. However, when using this book or any other source for business and industry information, the reader should use caution and diligence by conducting further research where it seems appropriate. We wish you success in your endeavors, and we trust that your experience with this book will be both satisfactory and productive.

(See the Index of Hot Spots For Women and Minorities in the back of the book.) This information may change frequently and can be difficult to obtain and verify. Consequently, the reader should use caution and conduct further investigation where appropriate. Glossary: A short list of food and beverage industry terms.

1) Introduction to the Food Industry The global food and agricultural industry for 2022 totaled about $10.5 trillion, according to Plunkett Research estimates, or about 10% of the world’s GDP. Global food exports totaled about $1.8 trillion, per the World Trade Organization. While it is obvious that food is of equal importance to all people on planet Earth, the relative cost of that food is not equal. It varies widely due to such influences as location, local food industries and the availability of proper infrastructure for food transportation and storage.

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Households in well-developed nations such as the U.S. Canada, Singapore and countries in Europe, spend a relatively modest portion of household income on food, typically 11%-15%. In lessdeveloped nations, such as Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines, food may account for more than 40% of spending, making it hard for families to invest in education or health care. In America, the average household spent $7,316 on food in 2020, down significantly from $8,169 during 2019, and $7,923 in 2018. That included $4,942 spent on food for at-home dining, and $2,375 for dining out. The retail grocery store and supermarket industry in the U.S., with about 49,531 stores, totaled about $946.6 billion in revenues during 2022, according to U.S. Department of the Census figures. However, food products and beverages in America and elsewhere are sold at a wide variety of stores other than supermarkets. To get the full U.S. picture, it is important to consider food and beverage sales at 67,673 non-traditional food-sellers such as wholesale clubs and dollar stores, estimated at $550 billion by Plunkett Research as well as about $200 billion in revenues at 150,174 convenience stores (not including convenience store gasoline sales). The National Restaurant Association estimated that, for 2022, its industry employed, in the United States, 14.5 million people at more than 1 million restaurants. Estimates of total food industry revenues can vary widely due to many factors. For example, a large portion of supermarket sales is made in nonfood items such as drugs and personal care goods, and many types of non-food stores sell small amounts of specialty food products. Also, the National Restaurant Association’s estimates of total annual revenues are always higher than figures gathered by researchers at the Census, and both groups may miss part of the revenues generated by caterers and other non-traditional prepared food sellers. Outside the U.S., food retailing has become more diverse and sophisticated in emerging markets. For example, modern convenience stores are widespread in major Asian cities, such as the large number of highly popular 7-11 stores found in Thailand. Also, discount stores that sell food products, among other items, are increasingly popular, evidenced by the rapid growth of Walmart in Mexico, and the continuing fast spread of stores in China owned by Walmart and its competitors. Nonetheless, outside of the major cities, much of the food retailing in emerging markets is conducted by very modest local markets, often run as family operations.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Restaurant food sales are spreading very quickly in the emerging world as well. For example, U.S. fast food brands KFC and Pizza Hut grew very quickly in China, with thousands of units in locations ranging from the giant metropolises such as Shanghai and Beijing to remote, smaller cities of growing importance. The success of U.S. fast food outlets, as well as Starbucks, spawned a great number of domestic competitors within China. Africa is the next frontier in fast food and food retailing in the emerging world. U.S. farm sector values for crops, livestock and other products were projected to be $586.2 billion in 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. America’s agricultural sector enjoyed $171.4 billion in exports in 2022. U.S. agricultural imports in 2022 were $185.8 billion. Aquaculture (fish farming) produced an estimated 179 million tons of fish globally in 2019, up from only 66.1 million tons in 2010, according to Plunkett Research estimates and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. This production is growing quickly. By 2030, aquaculture is projected to provide two-thirds of total fish for human consumption. Fish farming is extremely active in the U.S. as well as in nations such as the Philippines, China, Norway and Vietnam. Tilapia, salmon and shrimp are among the leading products. 2) The State of the Food Industry Today The global processed food and beverages industry is dominated by a handful of multinational corporations. Among the leaders are Unilever, Cadbury Schweppes, Kraft Heinz, Mendelez International (formerly part of Kraft Foods, Inc.), General Mills and Nestlé. Unilever, for example, estimates that 2 billion people per day purchase its products, ranging from Knorr soups to SlimFast diet meals, in 190 nations around the globe. According to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates, U.S. food production of all types, from animal processing to packaged foods manufacturing, will total about $586.2 billion in 2023, employing 1.73 million people. This includes foods manufactured for export but does not include tobacco products. The entire food industry, from growing to processing to retailing, is an extremely competitive field where profit margins are typically so low that it is often challenging to maintain profitability. As up and coming generations such as Generation Y (Millennials) become more important parts of the consumer base, consumers overall are having a very

profound effect on the food products industry, driving change, making new demands and creating new opportunities for those companies that are nimble enough to take advantage of them. Consumers are worried about nutrition, the source of ingredients, the effects of chemical ingredients on their bodies, and in particular, the safety or health values of the food they give to their children. In nations and regions containing middle to upper income consumers, this is nothing less than a food industry revolution in the making. Many new companies have emerged to take advantage of these trends, and they have often seen tremendous growth. Amy’s Kitchen, for example, a relatively new company, focused on more natural packaged meals has enjoyed soaring revenues and popularity for its vegetarian, gluten-free and nonGMO foods. Chobani, a pioneer in the Greek yogurt business, has likewise seen exceptional growth. In North America, Asia, Europe and elsewhere, producers and retailers of foods (including restaurants) are faced with the challenge of positioning their brands to represent consistent quality and food safety. Companies that rise to this challenge will have significant competitive advantage. This food safety positioning will go hand-in-hand with growing demand to satisfy additional consumer concerns about environmentallysound food production methods, fair trade, fair use of labor and humane treatment of agricultural animals. However, a focus on such concerns as fair trade can add dramatically to costs. In the U.S., Mexico and elsewhere, the supermarket industry is under attack by discounter Walmart in particular. In America, Costco and Target are also strong competitors in retail groceries. (Walmart gets substantially more than one-half of its U.S. revenues from grocery sales.) Vast changes have swept through the supermarket sector as a result, as major firms such as Safeway and Kroger have cut prices and lowered operating costs dramatically, while Albertson’s sold itself to private investors. Walmart has by far the leading market share of American supermarket sales. Meanwhile, America’s leading drugstore chains, CVS and Walgreens, have been dramatically expanding their food and beverage departments.

Internet Research Tip: Agriculture Outlook The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 20212030 database can be found at www.agri-outlook.org. Here, you can find a database of historical agricultural product prices, along with forecasts for future prices, videos and many other outstanding research tools. In the U.S., at the end of the Civil War in 1865, farmers made up about 55% of the workforce. By 1900, 38% of working Americans still toiled on 5.7 million farms—growing enough food to feed the nation’s population of 76 million. Today, only about 1.6% of the U.S. workforce is employed on farms. The total number of American farms is down to a little less than 2 million, but that dwindling count of farms and farmers meets the domestic needs of a national population that is more than four times the population of 1900. Since the early 1900s, the amount of manpower required to grow food has plummeted. The relative cost of an American family’s food has likewise dropped impressively. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, in 1901 46.4% of a typical American household’s income went to food. By 1995, that ratio had dropped to 14.0%. Here’s another way to look at it: In 1919, at the end of World War I, a basket of staple food items (one pound each of coffee, bacon, bread, beans, onions, lettuce and ground beef, plus generous amounts of sugar, tomatoes and other items) cost what an average American would earn in 10 hours of work. By 1995, that cost had dropped to less than two hours. The drop has been caused by increases in total personal income, as well as improvements in food technologies. Outside the U.S., other industrialized nations made outstanding strides in food cost, availability and quality through most of the past 100 years. Many developing nations have seen vast improvements as well. (Ironically, while we all need food to live, and we tend to derive tremendous enjoyment from good food, we nonetheless do a poor job of compensating most people who work in the food industry. From fry cooks to chicken pluckers, many people who work in the food sector receive very low wages.) Meanwhile, throughout much of the world, technology and globalization have revolutionized the way that we grow food, as well as the way that we transport, process, package, purchase and cook it. Waste and spoilage are reduced (but still a problem) thanks to innovations like flash freezing, good

highways and refrigerated trucks. Furthermore, it’s an everyday occurrence for consumers in the U.S., Asia or Europe to pick up strawberries from New Zealand or mangos from Mexico in the fresh produce section of the local supermarket. Globalization has led to the rise of massive multinational food processing companies like Nestlé and Unilever, which often sell their foods under local names in local languages, after producing them in regional factories worldwide. The types of technologies affecting the food industry have evolved significantly over time. From mechanized tractors, agricultural technology has moved on to become high-tech. Today, computerization has made marked changes in food distribution: Electronic data interchange ensures that inventories and shipments are well managed so your local grocer doesn’t run out of the products that are selling quickly. Point-of-sale systems at the cash register capture minute-by-minute sales data. Biotechnology is making sweeping changes at the ground level—in seed stocks and agricultural animal health. In fact, gradual genetic improvement of grain seeds like rice and wheat, combined with better fertilizers and other technologies, created a “green revolution,” enabling nations like China and India to go from agonizingly underfed populations to a large degree of food self-sufficiency. Now, genetically modified seeds are gaining ground with the promise of crops that not only resist insects and have extremely high yields per acre, but also produce high levels of desirable nutrients and vitamins. Health concerns are significantly impacting all sectors of the food industry, as obesity levels have risen to alarming proportions in the U.S., Mexico, Asia and elsewhere. Various branches of the U.S. government, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), along with a host of consumer groups, are squaring off with food producers over nutrition and the responsibilities and ethical issues inherent in the production and marketing of food. Childhood obesity is a particular target. In the U.S., where soaring health care costs are a prime concern, $147 billion in yearly medical costs were linked to obesity in 2008, a number that is likely much more than $200 billion today. Even local governments, such as the cities of New York and Chicago, are increasing regulations aimed at the food industry. Meanwhile, the soda industry is going through immense changes due to consumer trends. At one time, soda manufacturers and marketers assumed that there was limitless worldwide growth to be enjoyed in soda sales. However, the real growth in beverages

www.plunkettresearch.com

lately has been in bottled waters and energy drinks, while soda sales have been very disappointing. Bottled waters and energy drinks, such as Red Bull, have replaced sports drinks in some consumer’s budgets. As a result, recent years have seen dramatic regrouping at PepsiCo and Coca Cola. This includes the fact that the firms announced their intent to acquire the massive companies that did much of their bottling under license agreements. These soft drink giants have attempted to cut costs, streamline operations and distribute new products. Not to be overlooked when considering food industry trends is the potential effect of global warming on agriculture. While the United Nations predicts that food production needs to increase by as much as 70% from 2010 to 2050 due to a much larger world population and growing demand for food in nations with increasing household incomes, some scientists are predicting much lower crop yields in some areas due to higher average temperatures as global warming worsens. On the other hand, some observers think that rising temperatures could increase the growing season and agricultural output in regions that currently have cold climates. Another potential problem is that higher temperatures may lead to increased drought in many agricultural areas. Yet another potential problem is growing levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and ozone. While some observers believe that growing amounts of carbon dioxide in the air will increase plant growth, other scientists have a different opinion. Steve Long, a researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has conducted open field trials of enriched carbon dioxide amounts in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Research Service. His trials, over a period of three years, found unexpected complications from high carbon dioxide levels, including an increased lifespan of destructive Japanese beetles and a reduced mineral content in soybeans.

Chemical and seed companies were focused on developing genetically modified seeds and plants that had higher yields, better nutritional qualities and/or resistance to diseases, drought, herbicides or insects. Additional traits of GM plants may include resistance to temperature and moisture extremes.

www.plunkettresearch.com

(Such plants are often described as a genetically modified organisms or GMOs.) GM plants are predominantly grown in the U.S., but large amounts are also planted in Brazil, Argentina, Canada, India, Paraguay and China. GM crop growth continues. Farms in dozens of nations, ranging from simple family establishments to giant commercial operations, were planted with GM crops ranging from soy to corn to cotton. While the number of acres planted with GM crops is growing, the actual list of crops is very short. In the U.S., for example, only about 20 crops are approved, including corn, soy, alfalfa, papaya, summer squash, cotton, canola, sugar beets and, recently added, one special variety of potato and one special type of apple. The ISAAA reports that about 90% of GM farmers are in developing countries. Meanwhile, GM seeds have the potential to create vast benefits in lowincome nations where reliance on small farms or gardens is high and food is scarce. China has invested billions of dollars in GM research in rice, corn and wheat. The Chinese Ministry of Agricultural Biosafety Committee issued biosafety certificates to a pest-resistant GM rice. This rice is of the “Bt” variety. bat stands for Bacillus thuringiensis, which is a naturally occurring, pest-killing toxin found in soil. Organic farmers often spray a mixture containing Bt on their crops. Bioengineers have developed very successful ways to introduce Bt into plant seeds. As a result, the bacteria become part of the plant itself, with tremendous results. This particular strain of Bt rice was created locally at the Huazhong Agricultural University and is reported to enable an 80% reduction in the use of pesticide while upping yield by as much as 8%. According to the International Rice Research Institute, the Chinese have already more than tripled their rice crop over the past 50 years, largely by improving yield per acre, which is now two-thirds higher than the world’s average. However, this significant increase in output has been through the use of non-GM seeds. In early 2016, China lifted its ban of GM crops. The country has invested at least $3 billion in building stores of GM crop strains for future use, including those developed by Beijing-based Origin Agritech. In early 2019, China approved the import of five genetically modified crops designed to withstand pest infestation. The approval is a boon for U.S., Canadian and Brazilian farmers. U.S. farmers have enjoyed greatly increased crop yields and crop quality thanks to GM seeds. Biotech crops eventually become ingredients in everything

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

from baked goods to soft drinks to clothing. In the U.S., about 85% of all corn grown is from GM seeds, along with 91% of soybeans and 88% of cotton. Dozens of GM crops have been approved in selected nations worldwide. These include canola, cotton, cowpea, soybean and sugarcane. These breakthroughs could save significant food spoilage and waste. GM methods may also be employed to create foods that combat human diseases. In December 2015, a GM chicken was approved that produces eggs that treat a rare but potentially fatal disorder called lysosomal acid lipase deficiency. Syngenta (www.syngenta.com), the result of the merger between the agricultural divisions of AstraZeneca and Novartis, is focused on seeds, crop protection products, insecticides and other agricultural products. With this focus, Syngenta is in a position to make some of the best research, development and marketing decisions. Meanwhile, Monsanto, formerly a major competitor to Syngenta, invested heavily in biotech seed research with significant results. In addition to its biotech programs, Monsanto produced conventionally bred seeds, especially seeds for produce such as vegetables and fruits. Although bred without genetic engineering, these seeds were carefully developed to maximize desired traits such as taste, shelf life and shipping durability. Monsanto was acquired by Bayer in mid-2018 for $63 billion and became part of Bayer Crop Science (www.bayer.com/en/agriculture). A particular concern among farmers in many parts of the world is that GM crops may infest neighboring plants when they pollinate, thus triggering unintended modification of plant DNA. In any event, there is a vast distrust of GM foods in certain locales. U.S. food growers and processors face significant difficulty exporting to the European Union (EU) because of the reliance that American farmers place on GM seeds. The European Union, along with specific nations in Europe, has kept many regulations in place that make the use of GM seeds or the import of GM food products a difficult task. These restrictions remain a hot topic of debate at the World Trade Organization and elsewhere. Meanwhile, a handful of localities in the U.S. have banned or restricted the planting of GM seeds, hoping to protect traditional crops that local growers are widely known for. A typical restriction is to require that GM seeds be planted at least a certain distance away from non-GM crops.

4) Genetically Modified (GM) Foods Prompt Controversy, Labeling and Legislation Genetically modified (GM) is a phrase that is often applied to any food product that was created through the use of ingredients from genetically modified sources, such as GM corn or soybeans. GM foods offer tremendous promise as a way to increase global food production at reasonable cost. In a world that may grow from about 8 billion population in 2022 to as many as 10 billion by 2050, this is a critical need. Although scientists have been able to engineer highly desirable traits in GM seeds for crops (such as disease-resistance and insect-resistance), and the scientific community has given GM foods a clean bill of health for years, such modified foods have faced stiff resistance among many consumers, particularly in Europe. While many areas of biotechnology are controversial, agricultural biotech has been one of the largest targets for consumer backlash and government intervention in the marketplace. Consumer resistance to food products containing material grown in this manner is sometimes fierce. Recent History: Groups such as the Non-GMO Project are springing up to lobby for labeling. The issue came to a head in the fall of 2012, when California’s Proposition 37, which called for the labeling of GM foods, was defeated, but only after a number of food manufacturers spent $40 million on advertising that opposed the proposition. In July 2016, a Vermont law that requires that any food that has been entirely or partially created with GM ingredients to be labeled went into effect. Connecticut and Maine passed similar laws, but there’s a catch: their laws will not take effect until a certain number of other states have passed similar legislation. Maine’s law also makes it illegal to use a “natural” description for food products if they contain GM ingredients. (There is often great popular support for such labeling; in one poll, 91% of Maine resident surveyed stated that they wanted a labeling law such as this passed.) A federal GMO labelling bill was signed into law in the U.S. in July 2016 that requires food manufacturers to label any product that contains GMO ingredients. The bill allows food companies to label these products with a quick-response (QR) code that can be scanned and read by smartphones, which anti-GMO proponents say will not be used by most consumers. However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued new rules, pushing back the deadline for

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

labelling products containing GMO ingredients to 2022 for small companies. Larger producers were required to have labels or scannable codes in place by January 2020. Companies do not have to include certain ingredients on labels, including refined sugars and corn syrups, which often contain GMO ingredients. A Pew Research poll found that 57% of U.S. adults consider GM foods to be unsafe to eat. As a result, packaged food manufacturers are rushing to have their products certified as non-GM, even if their products have not ever included ingredients that are produced from GM plants. A U.S. brand of salt recently had its product certified as non-GM, even though the contents of a box of salt has nothing to do with agricultural plants or GM seeds. Food manufacturers and seed developers welcomed a report in May 2016 from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that deemed GMO crops safe for consumption and stating that they appear to do little damage to the environment. However, the report also confirmed the importance of transparency and the need for mandatory GMO labelling. 5)

Plant-Based Meat Substitutes Developed Cloned animals, enabled through biotechnology, are of interest to the food and agriculture sectors. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) declared food derived from cloned cows, pigs and goats to be safe for consumption, and animal growers in a handful of nations, including Argentina, are forging ahead with cloned food animals. In New Zealand, a tail-less genetically modified cow named Daisy was created that produces low-allergy milk that can be digested by children with milk allergies (numbering about 3% of all children in the developed world). Livestock production places significant demands on the environment. The United Nations (UN) reports that 30% of the world’s ice-free land mass is devoted to livestock, and that this livestock produces 14.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Beef, pork and poultry production requires large amounts of water and feed. Approximately 1 kilogram of live animal weight in the U.S. typically needs 10 kilograms of feed for beef, 5 kilograms for pork and 2.5 kilograms for poultry. As world population growth continues (expected by some analysts to rise from 8 billion in 2022 to as high as 10 billion in 2050), demand for meat (or meat substitutes), indeed all food production, with rise accordingly.

www.plunkettresearch.com

On the negative side, plant-based meat isn’t necessarily healthier than real meat. For example, some of faux meat products are high in sodium. Some faux meats have 40 or more ingredients, including chemicals such as titanium dioxide and methylcellulose. Mark Post, a researcher at Maastricht University in The Netherlands, was one of the first researchers in the world to develop animal tissue from laboratory cultures. The groundbreaking work could someday result in meat produced in laboratories instead of on the hoof, thereby greatly reducing the use of water, land and energy as well as greenhouse gases resulting from the conventional raising and slaughtering of livestock. Dr. Post has made progress by utilizing stem cells (specifically fetal calf serum), from which he has cultured thin strips of edible muscle tissue. After years of work, Dr. Post presented a cultured beef burger at the TEDxHaarlem conference in Edinburgh. Some firms are working to make plant-based alternatives to meat, with a goal of having these products look and taste like the real thing. A Silicon Valley company, Impossible Foods (impossiblefoods.com), develops plant-based cheese and meat substitutes. Beyond Meat (www.beyondmeat.com) is selling its plant-based chicken strips, sausage and beef-like patties sold at a variety of grocery and mass market retailers. Hampton Creek produces an eggless mayonnaise substitute sold that has widespread distribution in the U.S. (This sparked a significant battle over whether or not the firm can label the product “Just Mayo.” The FDA’s official definition of mayonnaise includes eggs. In late 2015, the FDA ruled that the product name can stay provided that the firm change its label in certain ways.) Other firms are developing meat from animal cells in laboratories, a technology which is sometimes called “cellular agriculture.” Startup Upside Foods (formerly Memphis Meats, Inc., (upsidefoods.com), for example, produces chicken strips and duck grown from self-producing cells. All these ventures are working on producing foods that have tastes and textures similar to meat. The firm created a cultured meatball at a cost of $2,400 per pound. The price is largely due to the expense of fetal bovine serum (FBS), which is extracted from the heart of a calf fetus when its mother is pregnant at slaughter. Another problem facing cellular agriculture is that vegans are not by definition potential customers. In addition, cellular agriculture must find ways to make cells adhere to a fixed

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

structure, allowing it to mimic steaks or chops as opposed to ground meat. In early 2022, Upside Foods acquired cultivated seafood company Cultured Decadence. Eat Just, Inc. (www.ju.st) is a California-based company that produces chicken products grown from poultry cells. Formerly known as Beyond Eggs and Hampton Creek Foods, Eat Just received approval from the Singapore Food Agency to sell its chicken in Singapore in late 2020. Faux meat is not limited to startups. Nestlé offers the Awesome Burger, developed in Monterrey County, California at the former Sweet Earth facility (which was acquired by Nestle USA in 2017). While recently founded companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat have faced challenges, Nestlé has well established supply chains and a strong financial condition. Unilever PLC is also promoting its meat alternative brand, Vegetarian Butcher, which offers soy-based meat-like patties and nuggets. 6)

Selective Breeding, Mutagenesis and Gene-Editing, Including CRISPR, as Alternatives to GM Seeds Alternatives to GM seeds include a selective breeding technique that introduces no foreign DNA such as that used in GM seeds. The technology uses old-school practices in which plants with desirable characteristics such as longer shelf life or resistance to insects are crossbred to create new, hardier specimens. The new twist to the old technique is the use of genetic markers, which make it much easier to isolate plants with a positive trait along with the gene that causes it. Newly grown plants can also be quickly tested for the presence of the isolated gene. The technology cuts traditional selective breeding time in half. A number of companies are utilizing gene markers in their breeding programs. Arcadia Biosciences (www.arcadiabio.com) developed seeds for wheat, under the brand GoodWheat, that can be eaten by people with the intestinal disorder called Celiac Disease, which affects 1% of Americans and 4% of Europeans. Arcadia has also developed technologies that enable crops to utilize nitrogen (part of common fertilizers) more efficiently, thus reducing the amount of fertilizer needed overall. It is working to develop plants that use water more efficiently, thus producing high crop yields in low water conditions. It has even developed technology that enables plants to be irrigated with saltwater. Genetic markers are not new, but the ability to use them in a cost-effective manner is relatively

www.plunkettresearch.com

recent thanks to falling costs since the year 2000. Where it once took several dollars to conduct each plant scan, the same test can now be conducted for pennies, making testing on a large scale possible. Look for crop biotechnology companies including DuPont, Bayer Crop Science (formerly Monsanto) and Syngenta to invest heavily in selective breeding assisted by gene markers over the near- to mid-term. Bayer Crop Science and Syngenta have been researching crop applications for technology called RNA interference that is used in the biopharmaceuticals industry. Syngenta acquired Belgium-based Devgen, which has expertise in RNAi-based insect control for plants, in late 2012. For example, insects eating plants grown with this technology would become sterile through genetic alteration. Monsanto, before it became part of Bayer Crop Science in 2018, joined with Novozymes of Denmark to form the BioAg Alliance. Its focus is to develop micro-organisms such as fungi and bacteria to strengthen and improve crops as an alternative to GM technology. Another GM alternative is mutagenesis, the process of utilizing radiation to create a mutation within a plant. It is a type of breeding intended to create new varieties of plants that have desired characteristics, such as resistance to herbicides, different flavors or different colors. However, critics of mutagenesis are concerned that it may do more harm than GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). The National Academy of Sciences reported that the process randomly rearranges and/or deletes enormous numbers of genes, which creates mutations that are less precise. Yet another technology may radically impact the world’s food supply. Food scientists at Sangamo Therapeutics (www.sangamo.com) have developed naturally occurring proteins that bind to DNA called zinc fingers. The fingers (so named because of their shape) can be used to genetically modify cells in order to produce desired effects such as crop yield, taste or drought resistance in plants. They afford very precise changes to DNA, which translates into better control when modifying plants and quicker development times compared to typical genetic modification. Zinc fingers may also be far more acceptable to groups that are opposed to GM foods, because the elements of the zinc finger do not remain in a plant for more than a few days. Dow AgroSciences (a subsidiary of Dow Chemical that is focused on crop production) invested $20 million in Sangamo, hoping to compete with Bayer Crop Science and Syngenta’s agribio success.

Gene-editing refers to the process of snipping or splicing strands of DNA in order to improve crops, giving them qualities that may make them more nutritious or resistant to insects. Other uses might make fruit or vegetables less likely to discolor or bruise. Also referred to as CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), the technology focuses on the use of a DNA-cutting protein that is guided by an RNA molecule, targeted at a specific gene. This technology enables a scientist to quickly and easily edit or re-engineer specific bits of DNA. A defective gene can be precisely edited within the laboratory, and then reintroduced into seeds. Government mandates to identify GM foods do not apply in gene-editing, as no foreign genes are used. Companies active in the technology are Cellectis subsidiary Calyxt and DuPont Pioneer. Calyxt, Inc., based in Roseville, Minnesota (www.calyxt.com), is a gene-editing company that focuses on the food industry. It was testing its proprietary alfalfa seeds and plants, developed with the firm’s TALEN gene editing technology, in partnership with S&W Seed Company in early 2020. The seeds and plants are the first alfalfa targeted mutations to be designated as a non-regulated article under the “Am I Regulated?” process by the Biotechnology Regulatory Services of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The improved quality alfalfa product was the first-ever alfalfa product to receive this nonregulated distinction from the USDA. In addition, Calyxt is testing high fiber wheat and cold storable potatoes, as well as improvements for hemp, oats, canola, peanuts, peas and soybeans. 7)

Obesity Sparks Government, School and Corporate Initiatives/Snack Foods Get Healthier Obesity is increasing in countries throughout the world. The problem is acute in the U.S., where obesity is unfortunately very common and has deep links to the high overall cost of health care. Obesity is a much more serious problem than being merely overweight—see the box regarding “Body Mass Index (BMI)” that follows. According to the World Population Review, approximately 2.1 billion people were obese as of 2021 (about 26% of the global population). More than 2.8 million people die per year from obesity related conditions according to the World Health

www.plunkettresearch.com

Organization. The global obesity rate has tripled since 1975. Numbers from the U.S. CDC (Centers for Disease Control) show that obesity is a massive problem in America, one capable of generating vast annual expenses for treatment of chronic diseases related to obesity. For 2017-2020, the CDC found that 41.9% of all adults over age 20 were obese. Body Mass Index (BMI) as an indicator of health status based on weight: Underweight = less than 18.5 BMI Normal weight = 18.5 to 24.9 Overweight = 25 to 29.9 Obese = 30 or more To calculate Body Mass Index: First: divide weight (pounds) by height (inches) Second: divide the result by height again Third: multiply the result by 703 Internet Research Tip: For an easy-to-use, online calculator and a full discussion of BMI, see www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/ bmicalc.htm Source: National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute A 2014 report by the McKinsey Global Institute found that the annual global cost for lost productivity and the treatment of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers related to obesity is $2 trillion. An “Obesity Update 2017” published by the OECD estimated that an obese person incurs 25% higher health costs than a person of normal weight in a given year, and that obese people earn up to 18% less than non-obese people. One of the most critical problems of obesity is the onset of diabetes. The impact of the soaring diabetes problem combined with an accompanying rise in heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels may wreak havoc on the global health care system. The alarming rise in obesity in the U.S. has brought about significant changes in the latest set of dietary guidelines from the U.S. federal government. The 2020-2025 federal dietary guidelines were the result of more than a year’s work by an anonymous panel of nutrition experts in the fields of pediatrics, obesity, cardiovascular disease and public health. Panel members remain anonymous to avoid lobbying

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

from food industry groups such as the Soft Drink Association, the Wheat Foods Council, the National Dairy Council and the United Fresh Produce Association. Final results were presented by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. By law, federal dietary guidelines must be revised every five years based on the latest research. The 2020-2025 guidelines recommend eating more fruits and vegetables, filling half of meal plates with them, moving to low-fat and fat-free milk or yogurt, varying proteins and drinking and eating less sodium, saturated fat and added sugars. Even the USDA’s food pyramid, which after going through several permutations in the spring of 2005 and again in 2010, has been abandoned in favor of a plate showing representative portions of vegetables, fruit, grains and protein and a nearby glass representing dairy. Originally launched in mid2011, the plate initiative, called MyPlate (www.choosemyplate.gov), was developed by the USDA at a cost of $2.9 million over a three-year period. The impact of the recent guidelines on the food industry is significant. The snack food industry (which tends to make heavily salted snacks) is facing a challenge since the recommended sodium level for about one-half the U.S. population (those who are 51 years of age or older, are African American, or suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic kidney disease) is only 1,500 milligrams per day. Walmart has slashed salt, fat and sugar in the grocery products it sells. It completed a five-year plan in 2016 in which sodium would be reduced by 25%, industrially added trans fats are to be eliminated and added sugars will be reduced by 10% in packaged foods manufactured under its Great Value house brand. The company also announced plans to press major food brands to adopt these standards over the mid-term. Walmart is not alone in these initiatives (ConAgra Foods, for example, reduced sodium in its packaged foods by 20% by 2015), but as America’s largest retailer, its focus will have a profound effect on the food industry. Walmart affixes its Great For You icon on foods such as fresh and packaged fruits and vegetables. In America’s massive Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed in 2010, the U.S. federal government set up a requirement that all restaurant chains with 20 or more restaurants post calorie counts for menu and buffet items. The FDA ruled that restaurants with at least 20 locations (and vending machines that have at least 20 units) had to post calorie counts.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Healthy Dining Finder, www.healthydiningfinder.com, a web site that promotes restaurants that offer lower-calorie options, estimates that the number of restaurants it lists on its site has grown dramatically. A number of food companies are promoting products that are lower in calories and fats, and higher in nutrients such as protein, fiber, calcium and certain vitamins. PepsiCo, Inc. packages such food with a distinctive green label. To have the label, foods must contain no more than 35% of their calories from fat, contain one gram or less of saturated fats and no trans fats as well as meet limits for cholesterol, sodium and sugar. Products include Tropicana and Dole juices, Quaker oatmeal, Baked! LAY’S potato chips and Rold Gold pretzels. Nabisco is also promoting healthier 100 Calorie Packs of many of its popular brands such as Chips Ahoy! and Oreo cookies and Ritz and Teddy Grahams crackers. The Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF) is a U.S. effort through the United Way designed to help reduce obesity, especially childhood obesity. It is a first-of-its-kind coalition that brings together more than 300 retailers, food and beverage manufacturers, restaurants, sporting goods and insurance companies, trade associations and professional sports organizations. The HWCF is helping consumers lead healthier lives by offering healthier nutrition options. The Foundation reported the removal of 6.4 trillion calories from the food marketplace between 2009 and 2019 (400% over its initial goal) and over $1 million in grants and prizes awarded to American schools shown to have the greatest needs. Along with overeating, sedentary lifestyles are certainly a major contributor to obesity. Vast numbers of people are spending much of their work hours in front of a computer screen, while more and more of their leisure time is spent playing electronic games, watching TV and enjoying digital media— activities that are not burning many calories. Some countries have national initiatives focused on obesity. Singapore, which requires military service of all adults, has instituted an extended sixweek training camp for recruits who are obese in addition to its 10-week basic boot camp. After discharge from the service, most Singaporean men and women remain on reserve status, which requires an annual physical and basic fitness test.

Organic Food Sales Continue Global Growth/Locally Sourced Foods and Farm to Table Increase in Popularity The Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) reported that organic food sales reached almost $132.25 billion worldwide in 2021 (latest data available), up from approximately $100 billion in 2018. The term “organic” typically refers to crops grown without pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. Food that bears an organic label must meet criteria set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Specifically, these products must be at least 95% free of artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or fertilizers, synthetic pesticides, irradiation (germkilling radiation) or genetically modified ingredients. The U.S. is the largest single market for organic food and beverages and reached a new high of $63 billion in sales in 2021 according to the Organic Trade Association. While the organic sector has been growing rapidly, it remains a relatively small segment of the total food industry. Growth has been led largely by small companies that were able to expand over the years, and later were often acquired by food industry giants. Cereal company Kashi, acquired by Kellogg, is an excellent example. More recently, major food and drink companies are experimenting with launching their own organic brands. Coca-Cola acquired Honest Tea for example, which later launched the Organic Honest Fizz line of soft drinks. Simple Truth is Kroger’s in-store brand of organic foods. Foods certified as “natural”, as opposed to organic, may have been exposed to artificial fertilizers, synthetic pesticides, irradiation and genetically engineered ingredients. With regard to meat and dairy products, the organic label requires that livestock be fed only organic grains or grasses, and that they be free from growth hormones and antibiotics. Livestock also must have access to the outdoors. Internet Research Tip: Organic Foods The Organic Trade Association, www.ota.com, offers a wealth of information about the cultivation and sale of organic foods in North America. Organic foods generally sell at higher prices than traditionally grown foods. A growing number of consumers, individuals and restaurant operators alike tout organic foods as having superior flavor and texture. Other proponents cite the health benefits of avoiding chemicals and potentially poisonous

www.plunkettresearch.com

treatments used as pesticides. There is currently no research data to support these claims. The organic trend plays particularly well in a segment of the population referred to as “LOHAS,” that is, consumers who attempt to practice a lifestyle of health and sustainability. This is a well-educated group with significant purchasing power that would be interested in products such as hybrid automobiles, renewable or high-efficiency energy systems, and “Fair Trade” coffee. One trend in marketing organic produce in America is called Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). These are membership-based clubs that are run by individual, local farms. Typically, for a set weekly fee, members receive a weekly batch of produce. For passionate consumers, this may be the best way to get the freshest-possible produce while having the greatest possible knowledge about how and where the produce was grown. Delivery methods vary widely. In some CSAs, members help to pick the produce at the farm itself, or they travel there to pick up their basket of produce. In more expensive memberships, members receive door-to-door delivery. Upscale CSAs may charge a substantial initiation fee, and virtually all of them limit the number of members. Local harvest markets are popping up in cities and towns across the U.S. Local Harvest, www.localharvest.org , is a web site that lists farmer’s markets, farms, CSAs, grocery/co-ops and more, including market schedules and locations. The site also has an online store offering CSA subscriptions, meats, produce, seeds, coffee and teas, among other things. Organic products may have limited shelf life as they contain no preservatives. Consequently, they must be picked and/or packed when they reach optimum freshness and quickly shipped to nearby markets to avoid spoilage. While supermarkets, such as Whole Foods Market (now owned by Amazon), that position themselves as sellers of more natural foods had the early lead in organic food sales, the growing consumer interest in organic products quickly inspired competition from major chains such as Kroger. Large sections of organic produce are now common in everyday supermarkets. Major grocery store chains such as Kroger, Walmart, Whole Foods and Costco are enthusiastic sellers of organic foods, and they are large enough to contract with multiple organic farmers. Since they operate store locations throughout the U.S. and beyond, they are therefore close enough to suppliers

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

to take advantage of the small window of opportunity before organic products spoil. Major food producers who have long sold traditionally grown products are jumping on the lucrative organic bandwagon. General Mills, for example, sells Cascadian Farm and Muir Glen organic brands throughout the U.S. Organics are also crossing oceans. Take French food company Danone SA, for example. Its Stonyfield Farm yogurt is made from milk from dairies in France and Ireland and then shipped to North America as well as to retailers in Europe. SPOTLIGHT: Earthbound Farm One of the largest growers of organic produce in the U.S. is Earthbound Farm, www.ebfarm.com, founded in California’s Carmel Valley in 1984 by two young entrepreneurs who moved cross-country from Manhattan. It now has farm locations totaling almost 45,000 acres, primarily in California, Arizona and Mexico. One of its mainstay products is salad greens, and it processes 30 million salad servings each week. Its products are available in 75% of America’s supermarkets nationwide. The company is a subsidiary of Taylor Farms. 9)

McDonald’s and Other Fast Food Companies Reposition to Adapt to New Consumer Tastes and Robotics For years, McDonald’s Corporation has been one of the world’s largest fast food chains by sales volume and revenue. As of early 2022, McDonald’s had more than 39,200 restaurants in 119 countries and was serving tens of millions of customers per day. Many companies simplified their menus and decreased average times to complete drive-through orders. New building design concepts include smaller restaurants, with some planned to offer drivethrough service only, such as at some Wendy’s. Burger King unveiled a new design that is 60% smaller than its traditional restaurants. Customers may order through the BK app and have their food delivered to dedicated parking spaces or to pick-up lockers for mobile and delivery orders. Most fast food restaurants offer similar apps and services. Drive-through service is booming, especially at Chick-fil-A where lines often snake around city blocks creating traffic snarls. The problem got so bad at one location in Charlotte, North Carolina in early 2023 that city officials ordered the franchise to shut down and build a streamlined drive-through only building. Many Chick-fil-A’s feature double drive-

www.plunkettresearch.com

through lines staffed with uniformed runners who take orders on a digital tablet and then deliver filled orders to waiting vehicles. As of October 2022, the chain had more than 30 drive-through only locations in the U.S. The company reports that most of its locations average about $8.1 billion in annual sales-a highly enviable level of revenues. This U.S.-based firm plans to expand into Europe and Asia by 2026, with a presence in five international markets by 2030. Consumer tastes are changing, especially among younger demographic groups which are trending toward healthier or fresher foods. McDonald’s has made efforts to add healthier items to its menus (such as salads, apple slices and oatmeal) and has had success with its gourmet coffee items. In 2018, it banned foam packaging from its worldwide supply chain and announced it would use only fiber-based packaging made from recycled sources by 2025. The company is implementing new digital selfservice ordering stations, with orders delivered to restaurant tables by McDonald’s staff (traditional counter service continues to be available). This is part of the firm’s push to incorporate more technology in its restaurants. In 2019 alone, McDonald’s spent almost $1 billion to upgrade 2,000 U.S. locations with self-service kiosks and digital menu boards. It also created McD Tech Labs in Silicon Valley, California where engineers and tech scientists study innovation in food service. The company acquired Apprente, a California startup that developed voice-based platforms for placing orders; and Dynamic Yield, a technology firm with expertise in personalization and decision logic. The acquisitions enabled McDonald’s to improve its drive-through experience by personalizing menus based on factors such as weather and restaurant traffic. Many innovations to McDonald’s menu and operations begin in its overseas locations. Baguettestyle sandwich rolls used in French and Italian McDonald’s have been promoted in the U.S. Packaging that touts the company’s quality ingredients are standard in Europe and later became so in the U.S. The company has had success by tailoring its menu to suit local tastes. The company and many of its franchisees have spent generously on remodeling existing locations, both in America and around the world. In 2018, a 19,000 square-foot LEED certified glass and steel location opened in Chicago, Illinois complete with a floating glass garden and a living wall. Meanwhile, rising wages will put intense pressure on McDonald’s to increase efficiencies within the restaurants, reduce

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

complexity and consider automation. Such automation could be easiest to implement in the form of computerized ordering, with consumers entering their own orders on a tablet or kiosk. The firm has been testing robotic deep fryers as well as voiceactivated drive throughs in an effort to shorten customer wait time. Wendy’s Co. and Burger King have been jockeying for the number one and two spots on the list of top hamburger chains in the U.S. based on sales volume. More than half of Wendy’s companyowned locations have been remodeled with leather chairs, metallic highlights and flat-screen TVs. Wendy’s is also offering a modestly priced value combination which includes a choice of hamburger, four-piece chicken nuggets, small fries and a drink. Burger King and McDonald’s quickly responded with their own bundled value deals. McDonald’s is not alone in its struggle to change consumer perceptions. Most fast food chains are working to remove or limit preservatives in addition to using antibiotic-free and added hormone-free chicken and beef. 10) Demand for Home Grocery Delivery Service Such as Instacart and Amazon Fresh Soars Food retailing, with its highly perishable inventory, is a low-profit-margin enterprise—one in which consumers tend to make multiple trips to the market each month to select and purchase first-hand. The Coronavirus pandemic escalated online grocery shopping exponentially. Data analytics firm Inmar found in a recent poll that 78.7% of respondents shopped online for groceries after the pandemic outbreak, up from 39% before. A lasting, postCoronavirus trend has been consumer demand in ordering groceries online and picking up completed orders at special supermarket parking spots. One of the most closely watched online grocers is FreshDirect LLC, a unique business launched in 2001. FreshDirect is an online retail grocery business serving customers in New York City and the surrounding areas. It offers fresh food and grocery items, including fruits and vegetables, meat, seafood, deli items, cheese, dairy, coffee, tea, bakery goods, pasta and frozen food as well as kosher, gluten free, local and organic produce, health and beauty items and wine. It also provides catering services and a full line of ready-to-heat meals prepared by its on-staff chefs. FreshDirect owns and operates a 300,000square-foot state-of-the-art processing facility, which enables the company to process and ship fresh meats,

www.plunkettresearch.com

produce and dairy products quickly and efficiently. The company is also sometimes able to offer lower prices than traditional retail grocers, due to the lack of the need to operate expensive retail stores. Customers can also pick up their orders at the distribution facility. The firm served select counties in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Delaware. FreshDirect customers have the ability to shop by lifestyle, by clicking on gluten-free, kosher, organic or other groups. Satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. In late 2020, FreshDirect was acquired by Ahold Delhaize NV, which owns a number of supermarket chains including Giant and Stop & Shop. This may lead to fast expansion for FreshDirect. Peapod, an aggressive home grocery delivery service that has been in business since 1989, has built a base of online shoppers slowly but surely. Peapod has a presence in a number of major cities and suburban areas, including cities in Massachusetts, Virginia, Maryland, Wisconsin, Washington, D.C., Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, Illinois, Indiana and New Jersey. Peapod entered the New York City market for the first time in 2011, where it must compete directly against FreshDirect. Customers order online via Peapod.com and, for a fee, receive home delivery of their groceries, which are packed at warehouses near participating supermarkets. Despite its lengthy history and wealth of experience, Peapod struggled financially at first. It was acquired in 2001 by one of the world’s largest supermarket chains, European-based Royal Ahold, through its Ahold USA unit. In February 2020, Ahold USA shut down the stand-alone Peapod online grocery operation in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. However, the onset of the Coronavirus spurred new growth in the company, with supermarket chains Giant Food and Stop & Shop announcing the integration of Peapod’s ecommerce technology and services into their businesses in 2020. Amazon has been getting deeper into the grocery sector for many years, both through internal development and through acquisition. In late 2014, Amazon launched Prime Now, which delivers groceries and consumer goods in as little as one to two hours. Amazon has been aggressively rolling out warehouses in major cities all over the U.S. to serve its growing Prime Now business. In late 2016, Amazon opened its first brick and mortar grocery store called Amazon Go in Seattle, Washington. The 1,800 square-foot store offers prepared foods and grocery staples and requires shoppers to scan a smartphone app linked to an Amazon account upon

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

arrival. The app maintains a virtual cart of the items selected by the shopper and charges the related account accordingly when the shopper leaves the store, without any interaction with a human cashier. Initially open only to Amazon employees for testing, the company opened the store to the public in 2017. In addition, Amazon had opened 44 stores under its Amazon Fresh brand, focusing on urban grocery stores, by August 2022, in eight U.S. states and Washington D.C. In 2017, the firm acquired specialty supermarket firm Whole Foods Market, Inc. for $13.7 billion, sending shockwaves through the grocery industry. This is an extension of Amazon's grocery strategy. In September 2020, Whole Foods opened its first online-only store in Brooklyn, New York. Brick and mortar grocers are scrambling to fulfill the shift in consumers’ shopping habits that was spurred by the Coronavirus. Walmart offers Walmart Grocery, a pickup and delivery service in which online orders can be picked up at store drive-through lanes, often on the same day. The firm also offers same day delivery in most U.S. markets. Online grocery shopping is rapidly becoming commonplace at major supermarket chains, with consumers’ options ranging from ordering online and picking up curbside, to delivery to the home. For example, the massive grocery firm Kroger offers a click and collect service called ClickList in stores nationwide, including many of its subsidiary brands such as Fred Meyer and Smith’s. Another twist on grocery shopping online is Instacart, a San Francisco-based company that models online shopping, somewhat on the same business model as Uber. Customers use an app to enter a list of groceries and other items they want, and nearby shoppers pick up the items and deliver them using their own cars, bikes or other transportation. Shoppers are independent contractors. This work may be attractive to people like students or stay-at-home parents who want to control their own schedules while making extra money. Instacart charges a delivery fee and marks up store prices for each item delivered. Demand for Instacart’s services soared during the Coronavirus pandemic. In December 2017, Target Corporation announced its $550 million acquisition of grocery delivery startup Shipt, an Instacart competitor. Grocery delivery in China has become commonplace. Dozens of startup companies, including Quick Bee, New Dada and Dianwoda, employ couriers on electric motorbikes who pick up orders from supermarkets, convenience stores and

www.plunkettresearch.com

independent shops for quick delivery. The firms charge for each delivery (starting at about five yuan or 72 cents U.S. per package) and receive commissions from retailers. Retail giants Alibaba Group Holding and JD.com are investing heavily in these startups. Alibaba spent nearly 1 billion yuan ($150 million) on Dianwoda in 2016, and New Dada is 40% owned by JD.com. Alibaba’s Freshippo concept combines a grocery store with a restaurant and a delivery app, which together utilize robotics and facial recognition to speed logistics and payment. SPOTLIGHT: Micro-Fulfillment Centers The Coronavirus brought sweeping changes to the retail sector—basically a rapid restructuring of the entire sector. Retail foot traffic slumped while ecommerce soared for everything from groceries to household items to apparel. These changes have significant implications for supply chain and distribution. Since consumers frequently demand same-day (and often two-hour) availability of goods that they have ordered online, a superior level of rapid distribution may, in many cases, only be provided by creating “micro-fulfillment centers.” These centers are small, local warehousing, packing and distribution areas that may be only a few hundred square meters in size. They may be located in a special area within a retail store, or they may be freestanding facilities, often near the store. Thus, the centers are typically within dense population areas. (This is a sharp contrast to traditional fulfilment centers that typically are of massive size and often located a significant drive-time away from densely populated markets.) Micro-Fulfillment works best when coupled with systems and equipment designed especially for this purpose, and specialized robotics and related software are a great tool for this strategy. 11) Grubhub, DoorDash and Others Deliver Restaurant Meals and Household Items to Homes Apps that enable users to order restaurant meals for home delivery are now popular in cities around the world. Users create accounts on these apps, with payment card information as well as home address. Nearby restaurants appear on the smartphone app including complete menu information. Users make their choices; the app sends the order to the selected restaurant and dispatches a delivery courier. Delivery fees and driver/courier tips are added to the price of the food and charged to the credit card, PayPal or digital wallet account on file. Meal delivery services were a savior for many restaurants

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

during the Coronavirus crisis. Major players in this niche include Grubhub, Seamless (which is part of Grubhub), DoorDash and Uber Eats in the U.S.; Delivery Hero and Takeaway.com in the EU; Just Eat in the U.K. and Deliveroo in the U.K, the EU, Asia and Australia. Uber’s meal delivery unit saw soaring growth during the Coronavirus, helping to offset a decline in its traditional car service. Restaurants pay very substantial fees, usually about 15% to 30% of the total per order to the meal delivery firms. Some restaurants may elect to hire their own dedicated drivers, but this can be challenging to manage, and a well-run system would include the cost and effort of implementing ordertaking technology along with hiring delivery drivers. At least 25% to 30% of a restaurant’s orders need to be for delivery in order to cover the expense, according to analysts at Boston Consulting Group. Many restaurants are opting to outsource deliveries to firms such as Grubhub, DoorDash and Uber Eats. Often, these restaurants raise their prices on meals sold through the apps in order to recoup the costs. During the Coronavirus pandemic, more than 70 U.S. cities and states temporarily capped fees charged by delivery apps and paid by restaurants. In New York City, permanent caps were set. However, in September 2021, DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Technologies’ Eats division filed suit against the city, stating that a permanent cap would necessitate rewriting contracts with restaurants, reduce marketing efforts and raise prices for customers. Cheaper alternatives are providing competition for these firms such as Spread, a Manhattan food order and delivery website for that charges $1 per order and no commissions are paid by the restaurants. The big apps themselves are also taking steps to give restaurants a break. DoorDash is building websites for small restaurants, charging them a flat fee for delivery rather than a commission. The firm is also allowing restaurants to choose from three fee rates (15%, 25% or 30% in the U.S.), with varying degrees of marketing and product support. Uber Eats offers a similar flat fee service as does Grubhub. The food delivery business model is cost intensive, and companies in this sector are innovating to increase order size. DoorDash, Uber and others are offering delivery of groceries, alcohol and a variety of household goods in addition to restaurant fare. Conversely, Grubhub, which was acquired by Just Eat Takeaway.com in June 2021, plans to focus on online marketing and delivery for restaurants exclusively. Notably, Grubhub announced plans in

www.plunkettresearch.com

mid-2021 to roll out food delivery robots on college campuses in the U.S. in partnership with Yandex NV. Starship Technologies (www.starship.xyz) has small, wheeled units in testing around the world. Starship Technologies’ robots maneuver along sidewalks at speeds of up to four miles per hour with a range of two miles, making them applicable for the last-mile delivery stage of consumer or business shipping. When the units reach a delivery address, the addressee is alerted and uses a smartphone app to unlock the knee-high robot and remove the package(s) inside. The robots can carry up to 40 pounds. By early 2023, 4 million autonomous deliveries had been completed. The company’s founders also started online telephony firm Skype. SPOLIGHT: Restaurants with No Seats The preponderance of delivery apps and services are fueling a new concept in restaurants: those with no seats for customers. In fact, customers aren’t allowed in. These kitchen-only establishments do not have the overhead that comes with seating areas, waitstaff, signage, high-traffic real estate and related costs. Instead, the kitchen cooks to orders taken by app and needs only a central pickup counter or window where interactions with delivery service runners take place. Delivery service Grubhub invested $1 million in Green Summit Group, a startup in Chicago, Illinois, to build a central kitchen which produces dishes for nine different “virtual restaurants.” Each appears as a separate establishment with unique menus but is prepared in the same kitchen by the same staff. Former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick has launched a well-funded firm called CloudKitchens that buys relatively inexpensive commercial real estate and converts it into locations where entrepreneurs can rent delivery-only kitchen space. His firm has also launched its own delivery-only restaurant brands, such as Excuse My French Toast. CloudKitchens’ investments are global, ranging from China and India to the U.S. and UK. Walmart’s Canada division is partnering with Ghost Kitchen Brands to offer online ordering and delivery. Creating Culinary Communities (C3) operated 800 “ghost kitchens” in mid-2022 and hoped to grow very aggressively. C3 investors include Simon Property Group and Accor S.A.

12) Precision Agriculture Technologies (AgTech), Farm Robotics, GPS and Irrigation Market Grows Worldwide/Hi Tech Greenhouses Around the world, researchers, agricultural equipment firms, GPS makers and other technology firms are investing heavily in the development of advanced technology for the agricultural sector. These new technologies range from robotic systems to plant, nurture and harvest crops, fruit and vegetables, to wireless sensors that control irrigation via state of the art automated drip systems. The technology comes at a time when it is extremely difficult for many farmers in the U.S. to find fruit and vegetable pickers and other manual laborers. Farm Robotics: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) operates an experimental greenhouse where cherry tomatoes are grown entirely under the care of small robots. Sensors attached to each plant gauge water, food and/or fertilizer needs, while robots water and feed the plants as necessary. Vision sensors measure when a plant is ripe, and the fruit is then picked by a mechanical arm. Other examples of robotic agriculture systems include a rice planter developed by the National Agricultural Research Centre in Japan and a grapevine pruning prototype made by San Diego, California-based Vision Robotics. The University of Sydney, Australia recently developed the Robot for Intelligent Perception and Precision Application (RIPPA). It’s a four-wheeled, solar-powered unit that finds weeds in vegetable fields and targets them precisely with herbicide. Meanwhile, Rowbot Systems of Minneapolis is working on a device that can navigate rows of maize and apply fertilizer without damaging the plants. For fruit cultivation, the E-Series, manufactured by AGROBOT (www.agrobot.com), uses cameras to determine when strawberries are ripe and then harvests the berries for packaging by humans. AGROBOT also offers the Bug Vacuum, an autonomous robot for lygus pest control in orchards. The cost for new robotic systems is substantial, yet the savings on the cost of human labor, over time, could be significant. Meanwhile, farm equipment manufacturer Kinze Manufacturing, Inc. and Jaybridge Robotics partnered to develop tractors that run without a human driver. Another company, Robotic Harvesting LLC, has developed technology for harvesting strawberries that relies on cameras and robotic arms. An inventor in Oxnard, California created the Agrobot, a $100,000 fruit picking machine with 14 arms, and plans to build a larger 60-

www.plunkettresearch.com

armed unit. Yet another firm, Small Robot Company (www.smallrobotcompany.com), offers “agribots” designed to perform tasks such as weeding, seeding and fertilizing as well as scanning for soil and plant conditions. Faculty at Britain’s Harper Adams University cobbled together robotic equipment starting in 2016 with the goal of farming a roughly 2.5-acre plot (one hectare) without human assistance. In its first year, the group harvested 4.5 metric tons of spring barley and 6.5 metric tons of winter wheat in 2018. Their next goal is hands-free farming of 35 non-contiguous hectares. Robotic systems are still in an early stage, since the wide varieties of crops grown around the world require highly specialized equipment (picking oranges, for example, is a very different activity than harvesting rice). Also, systems perfected in greenhouses may prove faulty when working in varied weather conditions and on rough terrain. However, high-end farming equipment such as commercial tractors are already equipped with realtime GPS software which would enable a certain degree of automation. SPOTLIGHT: Agricultural Drones Low-cost aerial camera drones (flying platforms in the form of small, fixed-wing airplanes or helicopters called quadcopters) can be seen flying over growing numbers of farms to monitor crops and field conditions. They can cost as little as $1,000, and are equipped with an autopilot, GPS and cameras. Images analyzed by software on the ground can reveal irrigation problems, soil variation, pests and fungal infestations. Infrared images highlight potential problems such as chlorophyll levels that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Low altitudes afford farmers much better resolution than satellite imagery (which is far more expensive at about $1,000 per hour). Drones can fly at any time, so farmers can compare images shot on a monthly, weekly, daily or even hourly basis to study changes in crop growth. Key drone manufacturers include 3D Robotics, Yamaha and PrecisionHawk. Agricultural Big Data: Technology is also impacting crop forecasting. A Chicago-based firm, Lanworth (a unit of Thomson Reuters), has developed a system using satellite images, analytical software and eyewitness reports to compete with agriculture output estimates issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Lanworth’s data, culled at no charge from NASA’s landsat

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

satellite system (which was built in 1972 to record images of Soviet crop production), uses historical reports to compare current images to the quantity and ripeness of past crops. High-Tech Commercial Greenhouses Grow Crops Indoors: Another technology of note is vertical farming, in which indoor fields and orchards are built, floor upon floor, in urban areas. Led by boosters such as Columbia University professor Dickson Despommier, the idea is eco-friendly in many ways. If food is grown in urban areas, little transportation is necessary to get produce to consumers. AeroFarms (aerofarms.com) is a greenhouse venture based on aeroponics, which is the practice of soil-free vertical farming. Seeds are scattered over permeable microfleece cloth, placed under LED lights and sprayed with a super-rich nutrient solution. A membrane forms on the microfleece in which the seeds germinate. Roots form and pierce down through the microfleece where they are further treated with nutrient solution. AeroFarms operates its aeroponic farm and global headquarters in a 70,000 square-foot former steel mill in Newark, New Jersey, where it produces more than 2 million pounds of leafy greens annually. Freight Farms (www.freightfarms.com) is a Boston-based startup that repurposes shipping containers into arable square footage. The firm fills the containers, which could be located in any vacant lot or alleyway, with LED lights, sensors and hydroponic systems. The firm claims that an average Freight Farms box, called a Leafy Green Machine (LGM) can produce 48,568 mini-heads of lettuce per year, or about the same yield as two acres of farmland. The Coronavirus pandemic spurred interest in vertical farming due to concerns about food security. These farms can be located in urban areas, simplifying logistics and speeding delivery times. Empty commercial buildings may possibly be converted to agricultural use post-pandemic. Vertical farms may also see greater variety in the crops they produce, including root and vine vegetables and bush fruits. GPS and Precision Agriculture: Precision agriculture, also called precision farming, is in use to a growing extent across the globe. The intent is to increase yield, decrease costs (including manpower and water usage) and avoid problems in the field. Today, it primarily involves the use of GPS to guide tractors for precise tilling and planting. Eventually, it will evolve to include the use of remote wireless

www.plunkettresearch.com

sensors, GPS, satellite imagery, predictive databases and other advanced technologies to monitor and react to soil, weather and crop conditions, such as the local level of soil moisture and soil nutrients. Robotics and nanotechnology will eventually be part of this trend. GPS maker Trimble operates a large agricultural division. It offers a wide variety of location-based technologies and data analytics for farmers. The goal is to maximize efficiency while reducing waste of farm chemicals and water. One tool improves irrigation, drainage and land leveling. Another provides high efficiency tractor guidance via GPS. Trimble also offers drones for aerial mapping and crop management and overall farm management software. It recently acquired the HarvestMark technology that enables food supply chain transparency and tracking of food products by origin, from the exact farm location to the supermarket shelf. Irrigation Technologies: Agriculture is by far the world’s biggest user of water, and water scarcity is without doubt one of the greatest problems the world will face in coming years. Out of sheer necessity, vast amounts of money are being invested in research, development and implementation of advanced crop irrigation technologies. Leading nations in this field include Israel and China, both facing significant water scarcity issues. American companies and investors also have a keen interest in this field. In California’s Central Valley, for example, water from the Sacramento River is diverted into canals fitted with control structures and gates. Any excess is allowed to percolate down into the groundwater basin or diverted to a small structure with pumps, filters and pressure gauges in a drip irrigation system. Microsprinklers can also be attached to drip systems to disperse water in longer arcs covering more territory. This is part of the concept of micro-irrigation, pioneered by IsraeliAmerican scientist Daniel Hillel, which exposes crops to frequent, small amounts of water rather than less frequent, heavy watering. 13) Drones Provide New Tools for Precision Agriculture Low-cost aerial camera drones (in the form of small, fixed-wing airplanes or helicopters called quadcopters) can be seen flying over increasing numbers of farms to monitor crops and field conditions. They can cost as little as $1,000, and are equipped with an autopilot, GPS and cameras. Images analyzed by software on the ground can reveal irrigation problems, soil variation, pests and

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

fungal infestations. Infrared images highlight potential problems such as chlorophyll levels that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Unmanned aircraft are allowed to fly up to a ceiling of 400 feet by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the low altitudes afford farmers much better resolution than satellite imagery (which is far more expensive at about $1,000 per hour). Drones can fly on regular schedules, so that farmers can compare images shot on a monthly, weekly, daily or even hourly basis to study changes in crop growth. Key drone agricultural manufacturers include 3D Robotics, Yamaha and PrecisionHawk. 14) Aquaculture Gains Major Fish Supply Market Share The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) found that fish farming (aquaculture) exceeded the production of beef for the first time in 2011. As of late 2015, global consumption of farmed fish surpassed consumption of fish caught in the wild. By 2030, fish consumption is expected to increase to 201 million metric tons. Mergers and acquisitions of fish growers and feed suppliers is on the rise. Grain trader and meat supplier Cargill, Inc. made headlines when it acquired EWOS Holding AS, a Norwegian salmonfeed business, for $1.5 billion. Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp. bought Cermaq ASA, a salmon farming company, for $1.4 billion while SHV Holdings NV spent $4 billion to acquire Dutch salmon-feed supplier Nutreco NV. China is a major farm-raised producer of species such as sea bass, carp, tilapia and sea bream. It accounts for a major share of global aquaculture. The timing of booming aquaculture couldn’t be better. As wild fish stocks are depleting (some analysts estimate that at least 32% of global fish stocks are in need of rebuilding), fish raised in tanks and ponds, or within nets or cages in the wild, can actually increase the world’s supply of fish. However, some environmentalists have long been against the practice. Concerns about farmed fish include farm-borne diseases, waste and parasites, in addition to pollution from water runoff. Aquaculture farmers have made progress in recent years to increase cleanliness in tanks and enclosures, and feeding practices now include pellets made from algae and other vegetable matter instead of fish meal. SalMar ASA, a major salmon producer based in Norway, launched a seaborne, 220-foot tall, 5,600

www.plunkettresearch.com

metric ton farming platform in 2018. Designed along the lines of an offshore oil rig, the platform allows seawater to flow through a holding area where the fish grow. The area is bounded by nets to hold the fish and to protect them from sharks. Another company, Kampachi Farms, LLC, is experimenting with similar farming in what the firm calls the Velella Project, which consists of a 132-cubic-meter brass netted aquapod with a towing/umbilical line to the S/V Machias, a 65-foot schooner. Testing of the project found a 98% fish survival rate. Danish firm Atlantic Sapphire A/S is betting on indoor fish farming where water temperature and flow are regulated. The firm is building a new aquaculture production facility it calls Bluehouse in Miami. By 2026, the three-phase project is expected to produce 90,000 metric tons of head-on and gutted salmon. The company began selling salmon grown in indoor pools in 2013. Wild shrimp stocks are dwindling also. Indoor shrimp farms are on the rise in appropriate climates in many nations. The fish supply may also be assisted by genetic modification. A Boston-based firm called AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. has developed genetically modified salmon that grow faster than traditional fish, to very large sizes while maintaining a high level of feed efficiency. GM fish received approval by the FDA in late 2015 when it okayed the AquaBounty process in the U.S., after concluding that the GM samples it analyzed posed little risk to the environment and were safe to eat. The issue created a high level of controversy. 15) Packaging Technology Improves/ Walmart, Amazon and Coca-Cola Boost Packaging Sustainability There are several very significant reasons why industry sectors of all types are focusing on improvements to packaging as a path to sustainability. To begin with, in the U.S., packaging accounts for about one-fourth of all material sent to landfills. Packaging is often both bulky and heavy. If packaging can be reduced in weight, then it saves in total shipping costs. Better still, if it can be reduced in both weight and dimensional size, then more items can be packed in one container, and the total shipping cost can be reduced dramatically. Once the item arrives in the warehouse or retail store, smaller size means that more items can be stored per shelf—yet another efficiency. Finally, packaging can be expensive, and it often represents a fairly high percentage of the total cost of

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

manufacturing and distributing an item. Packaging may involve plastics, aluminum or paper, all of which are subject to fluctuations in basic commodity costs. Simply put, reducing the amount of packaging used saves costs and increases sustainability. Today’s rapid changes in packaging are having a significant impact on a wide range of industries, from chemicals and plastics to transportation, food processing and retailing. The Coca-Cola Company, owners of one of the world’s most recognized brands and a global leader in the beverages business, published a report titled “Creating Sustainable Packaging.” The report describes its efforts to reduce waste in packaging. When you consider the millions of glass bottles, plastic bottles and aluminum cans involved in delivering Coca-Cola drinks to customers worldwide, not to mention the related cardboard and plastic packages that go with them, the numbers involved can be extremely significant—billions of cases of beverages per year. Also, a reduction in such waste could have a dramatic effect on the firm’s bottom line. Part of the firm’s effort has been focused on plastics, as much of its beverage volume is shipped in PET (polyethylene teraphthalate) plastic bottles. Coca-Cola uses what it calls the “PlantBottle” PET package, which is a recyclable drink bottle made partly (about 30%) from plant-based ethanol instead of oil-based PET. While much of the food industry’s packaging of this type has been based on the use of ethanol from food-crop plants such as sugarcane, in the future they may be able to utilize agricultural waste instead. Coca-Cola plans for all of its plastic containers to meet its 50% recycled material content goal by 2030 and making 100% of its packaging recyclable by 2025. Competitor PepsiCo is also very active in this regard. Companies active in using plant material to make beverage containers include Virent, a Wisconsin-based firm owned partly by Cargill, Shell and Honda, as well as Gevo and Avantium. Virent produced the first demonstration-scale, recyclable plastic bottle made entirely from plant-based materials. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus pandemic delayed a number of these plans by as much as a year or more according to many analysts. Glass bottles and containers are also making a comeback. In response to consumer concerns about toxins from plastic packaging seeping into food and drinks, a number of manufacturers are using more glass containers. Coca-Cola is expanding its distribution of several soft drink brands in eight-

www.plunkettresearch.com

ounce glass bottles while S.C. Johnson’s Ziploc brand offers VersaGlass containers that can be used in the freezer, microwave and (without lids) heated up to 400 degrees in ovens. Companies such as Nestle SA and Unilever PLC are opting for paper wrappers and packaging instead of plastic. Paper is made from a renewable source and is more easily recycled. There are new regulations in the EU to reduce plastic waste, and analysts at UBS expect paper to take 11% of the European plastic packaging market, or about $9.4 billion by 2031. One drawback of ordinary paper versus plastic is that paper cannot protect food from moisture, grease, oxygen or humidity, while plastic can do so. Some firms are experimenting with coated paper packets. The trick is for the treated paper to remain recyclable. Meanwhile, a mandate in California requires drink manufacturers to use 50% recycled material in bottles by 2030. This poses a challenge since bottle collection rates were only about 27% in the U.S. as of 2022, according to data from the national Association for PET Container Resources. Ultimately, companies around the world that use plastic packaging will have to foot the bill for its collection and recycling. Another issue with regard to packaging is the waste incurred when all of a product cannot be extracted easily from its container. Consumer Reports found that up to 25% of skin lotion, 16% of laundry detergent and 15% of condiments such as mustard and ketchup get stuck in their containers and are thrown away. Enter LiquiGlide, a company that manufactures a coating that makes the inside of bottles and other containers slick, so that contents are easily squeezed or poured out. In early 2015, the company announced that Elmer’s Products, Inc. had signed an exclusive licensing agreement for the coating for its glue containers. Internet Research Tip: Coca-Cola For an in-depth look at global soft drinks firm Coca-Cola's sustainability efforts, see: www.cocacolacompany.com/sustainable-business . Walmart has been a world leader in recognizing the potential good that can be done by reducing packaging, and it is working closely with suppliers for innovative solutions to packaging challenges. As the world’s largest retailer, progress made at Walmart makes a significant difference, while setting a standard that is often adopted across an entire industry or product category. Walmart, with massive annual revenues, has nearly irresistible power as a

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

purchaser because of the sheer volume of merchandise that it buys each year. Consequently, when the firm tells its supplier base of 100,000 firms that it wants to boost sustainability, things happen on a scale that can’t be topped by any other for-profit organization. Starting in 2005, Walmart set three long-term goals: to be 100% supplied by renewable energy; to eliminate waste from its system; and to create a more sustainable supply chain. As of mid-2017, the retailer refined its goals, instituting a plan to reduce emissions in its own operations by 18% by 2025 (from 2015 levels), through a combination of measures such as increased energy efficiency, sourcing of renewable energy and improvements in refrigeration systems and fleet efficiency. It is also working with its suppliers to reduce emissions by 1 gigaton from the production and use of the products sold between 2015 and 2030, equivalent to taking more than 211 million passenger vehicles off U.S. roads and highways for a year. Sometimes the most obvious, and easiest to implement, green tech and sustainability projects can have the biggest effect. Walmart’s determination to change the way that laundry detergent is packaged is a perfect example. Liquid laundry detergent has long been extremely popular among consumers. For years, it was sold in giant plastic bottles in watereddown form. When using it, the consumer poured a large cupful into the washing machine, not realizing that much of what was in that cup was water. These laundry bottles were bulky, awkward and heavy. Nonetheless, that was the industry standard. Selling concentrated detergent instead, eliminating much of the water from the bottle, was of such obvious potential benefit that it had been tried occasionally by the detergent industry. However, consumers shunned the smaller bottles—since they were smaller but priced the same as large bottles, consumers assumed they represented bad value. Concentrated detergents always flopped. Then Walmart came along, with its unbeatable ability to change the way both manufacturers and consumers act. Once Walmart decided to push the smaller laundry bottles, it gave the new products prime end-cap shelf space. Methods were developed to emphasize the products’ benefits to customers. Unilever, a leading detergent maker working closely with Walmart, printed graphics on detergent labels showing how the new small bottles equaled the same number of wash loads as the detergent contained in the old, larger bottles. Television talk shows were enlisted to help spread the word. By 2008, Walmart

www.plunkettresearch.com

sold only concentrated versions of liquid detergent in its stores. The company had changed an entire industry with one idea, as concentrated detergent was quickly on sale throughout the retail world. Consumers understood, benefitted from and accepted the change. Sustainability was boosted significantly. Smaller, lighter bottles times thousands of Walmart stores meant immense savings in packaging, cardboard cases to hold the bottles and freight. Over a three-year period, Walmart estimated that the changes saved 125 million pounds of cardboard cartons, 95 million pounds of plastic resin and 400 million gallons of water, along with 500,000 gallons of diesel fuel that would have been used in the shipping process. In 2019, the retailer announced further measures to reduce plastic packaging waste across 30,000 products in its house brands. Internet Research Tip: Walmart, the world's largest retailer, has set dramatic goals for the application of the latest green technologies in packaging, energy and other areas. To see the results, go to: corporate.walmart.com/purpose/sustainability. The new detergent coincided with the rapid adoption of a new, front-loading design in washing machines. These front loaders, very popular with consumers, work best with concentrated liquid detergents designated “HE” (high efficiency) that produce fewer suds during the wash. The HE detergents are also formulated to work perfectly in cold water. In the past, the primary energy usage during the operation of a clothes washing machine was for the heating of water. By working well in cold water, HE detergents enable a dramatic reduction in the use of energy for washing a family’s laundry. Amazon is putting pressure on its brands to use more efficient packaging. As of August 1, 2019, the retailer began imposing fines on manufacturers who do not meet its standards for compact and easily opened packaging. This is a perfectly logical initiative for Amazon, not only from an environmental point-of-view, but also because compact packaging means that more boxes can be delivered by one truck. Amazon is slowly building out its own system of delivery vehicles, edging out some deliveries that were previously made FedEx and UPS. Amazon plans to purchase 100,000 electric-powered delivery vans from truck manufacturing startup Rivian. Amazon is an investor in Rivian.

A lot of money will be made over the mid-term by companies that create innovative solutions to packaging needs. This will range from shipping pallets made of plastic or treated paper instead of today’s wooden slats, to packaging that incorporates nanotechnology to make it especially effective, strong or light. New packaging shapes, boxes and bottles that are easier and cheaper to manufacture, and the ease of recycling will then prevail as well. The packaging industry will work very closely with product manufacturers as always, but they will also begin to work more closely with shipping and thirdparty logistics services firms to provide comprehensive, systemic solutions and innovations. In late 2022, the European Commission (EC) proposed revisions to its packaging and waste regulations. If passed, member states will be required to make a 5% reduction in packaging waste per capita by 2030, followed by a 10% reduction by 2040, compared to 2018 levels. Also, countries will have to create cash deposit-return programs for meal and single-use plastic beverage containers by 2029. In addition, by year end 2025, 65% of all packaging waste would have to be recycled (specifically, 50% of plastic and aluminum, 70% of glass and 75% of paper and board). Moreover, minimum food packaging reuse and refill standards must be achieved by 2030, including 10% of non-alcoholic beverages and 20% of hot and cold to-go beverage containers. Initiatives of these kinds place the onus on drink bottlers to pay for used material collection and recycling, particularly for plastic. As of 2022, bottle collection rates were low, approximately 27% in the U.S. according to data from the National Association for PET Container Resources. To reach even the earliest recycling goals, ICIS (Independent Commodity Intelligence Services) estimates that output of recycled PET would have to rise by an annual compound rate of 45%. 16) Retail Technologies Advance for Restaurant Online Ordering, along with Robotics and Automation Retailers, restaurants, hotels and many other types of consumer-facing businesses are investing heavily in new technologies that simplify transactions and increase customer service. This has become particularly important during the Coronavirus era where there are shortages of workers to take care of customers. Self-service kiosks and smartphone apps are increasingly seen in businesses, but robots that directly serve customers are also growing in use.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Online Ordering: Online ordering skyrocketed during the Coronavirus pandemic. Restaurants with online ordering systems already in place got the jump of those that had to scramble to enhance or create websites and apps with fast, intuitive ordering systems. Online restaurant ordering has quickly become a habit for many consumers, and it will likely continue beyond the pandemic. At Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., online sales tripled in 2020, accounting for 61% of revenue in the second quarter. The firm is building more stores with drive-through lanes dedicated to digital orders, called “Chipotlanes.” Video Restaurant Menus and Ordering Kiosks: A number of restaurant chains, including Sonic Drive-Ins, are installing electronic menus that have point-of-purchase (POP) dynamic content. Customers place their orders using a touch screen, which are displayed complete with the total check amounts. Suggested additional items appear, some including special discount offers or promotions. The system is provided by MICROS Systems, a subsidiary of Oracle. The technology raises average check amounts, and increases inventory efficiency, since it is connected with the restaurants’ overall networks. If the POP is pushing a particular flavor of milkshake, for example, and customers respond, the system alerts owners to buy more ingredients. Installation and maintenance run about $150,000 per restaurant. Meanwhile, Microsoft and CKE Restaurants, Inc. (which owns Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.) have widely implemented self-order kiosks using Dell Optiplex All-in-One devices. Customers place their own orders and pay using credit cards or smartphone payment apps. Kiosks relay orders directly to kitchens, increasing speed and accuracy, and staff can easily update menus with seasonal offerings or promotions. The system also enables management to run sales and administrative reports, while employees can use the kiosks to clock in and out. TGI Fridays locations equipped staff with rugged Windows tablets, loaded with MICROS software, to use in collecting orders from customers and transmitting the orders to the kitchen. Leading restaurant chain Chili’s installed tabletop self-order devices made by Ziosk that can also receive orders, transmit them to the kitchen and handle credit card checkouts. In addition, the devices offer games and news feeds for a small additional fee. Chili’s reported reliable increases in average checks, and the machines automatically suggest a 20% tip for servers who deliver food and beverages. With U.S. restaurants under considerable pressure to raise

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

employees’ wages, many firms are keen to utilize advanced technologies that enable customers to enter and pay for their own orders, thus cutting down on the total number of staff members required to serve customers. Virtual Grocery Shopping: Grocery chain Tesco posted subway corridors in Korea with shopable billboards. The long arrays of billboards are designed to look exactly like full-size shelves and refrigerated cases within the aisles of Tesco stores. Commuters waiting for trains can walk down the lines of photos of shelves and order groceries by scanning quick response (QR) codes using the Homeplus phone app. Scanned items are automatically added to the customer’s online shopping cart, where they can pay for the orders on their phones and schedule a time for home delivery (usually the same day as the order is placed). See a video of these billboards in action at https://youtu.be/7JItU05mjCk.

China. Restaurant chain Wufangzhai has eight outlets in the Hangzhou province where customers order food via smartphone and pickup items from lockers that are connected directly to the kitchen. The lockers open via smartphone connection. Customers click open the locker and remove the fresh food. Drink dispensers operate in a similar fashion using QR codes scanned by smartphones. 17) RFID Drives Inventory Management Evolution The biggest technology breakthrough in inventory management is RFID (radio frequency identification)—the placement of microchips in product containers, cartons and packaging, combined with the use of special sensors in warehouses, handheld scanners or store shelves that alert a central inventory management system as to shipment arrivals, product purchases and the need to restock inventory, communicating via wireless means. From loading docks to cash registers to parking lots, RFID readers have the potential to wirelessly track the movement of each and every item of inventory. Bar codes will be replaced by Electronic Product Codes (EPC), which are stored in RFID microchips. In retail stores, the chips could even eliminate the need to scan each item at checkout. Checkout stations will be equipped with receivers that automatically calculate purchases of an entire cart of merchandise at a time, rather than each individual item. These systems can lead to reductions in shoplifting and the elimination of costly manual inventory counts.

SPOTLIGHT: Restaurant Robots With wages rising and new employees hard to hire, the restaurant industry is adopting robots to a growing degree. At CaliBurger, a casual chain with about 50 locations, “Flippy” the robot has been installed in about 20% of its restaurants to flip burgers and clean hot grills. Management believes the robots will free human workers to clean dining rooms and refill drinks. Restaurants of most types are experiencing high levels of to-go orders as well, thanks to online orders and on-demand delivery services. In February 2021, food delivery firm DoorDash acquired robotics startup Chowbotics, which makes salads and poke bowls prepared by a robot in under one minute. The operator of Flix Brewhouse, a U.S. chain of dozens of combination movie theaters/brew pubs, purchased a kitchen-delivery robot for each location. The robots pick up completed food orders in the kitchen and deliver the food to the appropriate location within the theater. A human then checks the plates and hands them to the customers. Each robot can do the work of one human—that’s one less employee to hire. The cost is about $20,000 per robot, plus $200 monthly in maintenance fees. These robots are made in China and are particularly popular in restaurants in Asia. The robots include a sufficient level of artificial intelligence to allow them to learn to navigate each building successfully.

overall inventory, thanks to greater supply chain efficiency. Walmart is heavily invested in this new technology. The greatest advantage of RFID implementation in stores such as Walmart may be a reduction of out-of-stock situations. The ability to keep popular items properly in stock means higher revenues. At MIT, experts are endeavoring to enhance RFID systems by continuing work on a project originally called the Auto-ID Center. Now called EPCglobal, the initiative is backed by more than 50 companies including Walmart, Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola. (See www.gs1.org/epcglobal.) The project developed a common language for all RFID chips, thereby substantially reducing costs. It is estimated that costs must fall to between one and five cents per chip for this new wave of technology to be universally adopted. (As of 2016, costs in actual commercial RFID use were between 5 cents and 15 cents per tag for typical volume purchases, according to the RFID Journal.) EPCglobal has been at the forefront of design standards for all components of RFID systems, including electronic product codes for the tags and software to look after them. Thinfilm is a Norway-based firm that uses printing to manufacture simple integrated electronics at a fraction of the cost of conventional electronics, in highly scalable processes compatible with highvolume, low-cost markets. Thinfilm has integrated sensing, data storage and display in a label format. Addition of a printed near-field communication (NFC) interface will allow Thinfilm’s sensor labels to link sensor data to apps on mobile devices and/or cloud-based analytics. Yet another breakthrough in technology is the result of efforts made by Telmex Lab for Communications and Development, also at MIT. The lab has created a tiny dot called a Bokode that, while only 3 millimeters wide, can hold more than 10 megabytes of data. The data can be read by the camera installed in most smartphones. The next step in RFID may be a nanoparticlebased covert barcode system that can be embedded in a wide variety of objects from polymers to drugs to inks to explosives. The nanoparticles are embedded during manufacturing and can be tracked by thermal analysis to follow the life of the object. Practical applications may include document authentication, manufacturer and/or vendor identification and location verification. Researchers at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute are studying the concept. When fully implemented, advanced RFID and electronic sensor/monitor systems will be more than

www.plunkettresearch.com

mere inventory management systems. They will be able to track virtually every item made, from the factory to the freight container to the shipping line to the warehouse to the store, even from the checkout lane to the home. They could even be used to sort recyclable items for reuse by the manufacturers, following the entire lifecycle of every product. 18) Walmart Still Dominates the Retail Industry, but Invests in Web Presence to Battle Amazon Walmart is the world’s largest retailer, based on revenue, and is the largest corporate employer in the U.S. (more than 2.3 million total employees worldwide). Outside of America, Walmart has a strong presence in such nations as Mexico, Canada and the UK. Walmart, faced with daunting competition from Amazon.com and other ecommerce firms, is investing heavily in its online platform. Importantly, Walmart acquired online retailer Jet.com in August 2016 for $3.3 billion. Jet’s capabilities were consolidated with those of Walmart’s online units. Walmart has also acquired Bonobos, Modcloth.com, Moosejaw, Shoebuy.com and Hayneedle.com, adding unique online merchandising and ecommerce expertise to Walmart’s total enterprise. The retailer has its own mobile apps, the Walmart Pay mobile payment system and its own cloud services unit. Walmart plans to allot more of its annual capital spending towards increasing ecommerce sales, upgrading technology and improving customer service. It also has been investing heavily in its workforce to reduce turnover, including higher pay for most of its 1.6 million U.S. employees. Walmart’s ecommerce strategy was accelerated due to the Coronavirus, as online shopping boomed, often combined with curbside pickup. At the same time, Walmart’s in-store sales benefitted greatly from the Coronavirus, as consumers focused on shopping for larger purchases of household staples. China continues to be a major focus for growth, but at a slower pace than previously planned. The company is also expanding its online presence in China, where ecommerce is booming thanks to companies like Ali Baba and Tencent. Walmart launched ecommerce operations in India in 2014, where it faces tremendous online competition, including the Indian unit of Amazon.com. In August 2018, Walmart acquired a 77% stake in Indian ecommerce company Flipkart for $16 billion. In 2019, India enacted regulations that limit the ability of foreign firms, such as Walmart, to

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

utilize deep price discounts or to streamline their supply chains. The government’s intent is to better protect its millions of small store owners from competition, and to boost the potential success of locally owned chains. In mid-2020, Walmart announced plans to sell its relatively small Best Price Modern Wholesale stores in India to its Flipkart subsidiary. Due to its sheer size and customer base, Walmart is still the one to beat in the retail industry in the U.S. and abroad. Over the long-term, Walmart achieved its astounding success through deep discounts, high volume purchasing and cutting-edge technology that raised the chain’s distribution and inventory control systems to the pinnacle of efficiency. Costs are cut to the bone while customers flock to the stores in massive numbers seeking everyday low prices. Walmart has taken a significant departure from its giant 178,000 average square-foot Supercenter size, by developing hundreds of Neighborhood Market grocery stores in cities across the U.S. This format averages about 40,000 square feet per store. As one of the world’s largest in-store pharmacy operators, the firm has slashed health care costs for many customers by offering $4 prescriptions for hundreds of generic drugs, along with low-cost prescription eyeglasses. Walmart also has in-store medical clinics in hundreds of stores nationwide. The clinics, which are operated by outside contractors, offer quick and inexpensive visits for such needs as school physicals and treatment for minor infections. In the same way that grocery customers drive sales in other Walmart departments, these health care customers are likely to make purchases elsewhere in the store as long as they are already in a Walmart. In September 2020, Walmart announced that it will invest further in its health care offerings, boosting its Walmart Health with new locations and increased services. Patient visits can include primary care, chronic disease care, hearing tests, vision tests and mental health. Including pharmacy, health services account for a significant and rapidly growing portion of the firm’s revenues. Meanwhile, Walmart is investing heavily in its consumer bank-like financial services under the brand name “One.” Walmart sees this as a way to boost both store traffic and customer loyalty. One will expand to cover everything from BNPL (buynow-pay-later) plans to debit cards, checking, savings, credit cards and probably investment services. Walmart has significant influence on food companies, the products they produce and the way in

www.plunkettresearch.com

which they package and distribute those products. The firm has doubled the amount of food purchased from local farmers in the U.S. Walmart relies on its massive grocery departments in its Supercenters to bring in customers, and it is not impervious to the marketing efforts of competing grocery chains. Firms such as Kroger Co., HEB and SuperValu, Inc. have redesigned stores to offer shoppers more convenient, neighborhood shopping experiences in addition to stocking higherend breads, meats and wine not carried by Walmart. 19) Private Label Brands Grow in Share of Total Store Sales Discount stores and a number of other retailers are offering more and more products that are private label. Instead of being limited to selling branded products from major manufacturers like Procter & Gamble, growing numbers of stores are contracting for the manufacture of store-branded merchandise. Such is the case with Walmart and its Ol’ Roy dog food, the George line of apparel or the Sam’s Choice products found in its Sam’s Club stores. One-half of the goods sold at Target and Kroger stores are now privately branded (Kroger owns and operates dozens of manufacturing facilities in the U.S.). Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand is on everything from cookware to paper goods to food items. Although this method has long been used by department store chains and a handful of specialty store chains, few have picked it up with as much enthusiasm or effectiveness as the discount retailers. Rampant inflation in 2022 deeply challenged consumers’ household budgets and caused sales of private label goods to grow due to their lower prices. Sales of private-label items are generally growing at a faster rate than those of name brands. Overall, private-label sales in the U.S. (in supermarkets, drug stores, mass-market merchandisers and club and dollar stores) reached $199 billion in 2021, up from $158.8 billion in 2020 and $142.3 billion in 2019, according to the Private Label Manufacturers Association (PLMA). One out of every four products sold in the U.S. has a private label or is a store brand. Supermarket company Kroger Co. saw private label sales rise by more than 10% after adding 147 new store-brand products in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter of 2021. New products included Kroger’s brand called Smart Way, which launched in September 2022 and was already purchased by two million households by the end of the quarter. Europe’s Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize NV reported that store brands account for half of all

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

sales in the Netherlands and Belgium (compared to only about 30% in the U.S.). France’s Carrefour says that private label products account for 33% of sales currently and plans to increase that share to 40% by 2026. Many consumers have determined that store brands consistently offer high quality at much lower everyday prices. Retailers note that store brands boost customer loyalty. As an alternative to going through the painful process of establishing their own brand names, discount stores have also been picking up brands that have been left by the wayside. Taking brand names that were abandoned by their original manufacturers, or ones whose trademarks have expired, the retailer then releases the product afresh, relying on the memories of its customers to inspire renewed sales of the product. A prime, and somewhat ironic, example of this is White Cloud toilet paper, which was originally made by Procter & Gamble. After P&G dropped the brand, it was picked up by Walmart. Taking advantage of a once well-recognized brand name, Walmart put its White Cloud private brand toilet paper on all its shelves and saw sales skyrocket as customers remembered an old favorite. Sitting next to it on the shelves, at a slightly higher price, was Charmin, the toilet paper currently made by Procter & Gamble. Amazon.com is into private labels in a big way. Amazon launched a line of house brand items called Amazon Elements. Initial products included diapers and baby wipes. Diapers have long been a very highvolume item for Amazon. The Elements line is designed to appeal to eco-conscious and qualityconscious consumers. The firm provides very deep product origin information, such as where and when each item was made and the sources of ingredients. Amazon has also developed a line of electronic accessories called AmazonBasics, which has diversified to offer a wide variety of products such as fitness equipment, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom items, garden and outdoor furniture, home office supplies and much more. 20) Consumers Drive a Revolution in the Food Industry, Demanding Fresher, More Natural Foods, Creating both Pain and Opportunities As younger generations such as Generation Y (Millennials) become more important segments in the consumer base, evolving consumer attitudes are having a very profound effect on the food products industry, driving change, making new demands and creating new opportunities for those companies that

www.plunkettresearch.com

are nimble enough to take advantage of them. Consumers are worried about nutrition, the source of ingredients, the effects of chemical ingredients on their bodies, and in particular, the safety or health values of the food they give to their children. In nations and regions containing middle to upperincome consumers, this is nothing less than a food industry revolution in the making. Many new companies have arisen to take advantage of these trends, and they have often seen tremendous growth. Amy’s Kitchen, for example, a relatively new company focused on frozen and canned dishes, makes products positioned as organic and vegetarian, and sometimes “light & lean.” Packages contain symbols denoting certified kosher, soy free, lactose free, gluten free, light in sodium or low fat, depending on a particular item’s attributes. The company’s ingredients are non-GMO, which appeals to many consumers. Another example is Chobani, a pioneer in the making of Greek yogurt. This thick and creamy variety of yogurt is perceived as more natural and healthier than some other versions. Perhaps the most successful company focused on taking advantage of these trends is Hain Celestial. It has been rapidly acquiring smaller food companies that satisfy today’s consumer interests. This shift in consumer trends has been extremely hard on old-line food companies, ranging from McDonald’s, on the restaurant side, to Coca Cola on the beverages side and Kellogg, General Mills, Kraft and Heinz on the packaged foods side (where profit margins have historically been very low). Today, packaged food companies are in full combat mode, redoing recipes and reducing long ingredient lists and purchasing aggressive younger companies that better suit today’s trends, while attempting to evolve their marketing to appeal to the evolving interests of consumers. Many consumers prefer foods that do not include a high number of chemicals, flavorings and additives. Consequently, foods that feature fewer ingredients overall are highlighting that fact on packaging, instead of burying ingredient lists under mandated nutritional information (e.g., CB’s Nuts Peanut Butter with one ingredient only). Kraft, for example, is removing synthetic colors and artificial preservatives from its mac and cheese products. A long line of restaurants and food companies have announced that they are migrating to using chicken and other meats that have not been raised on feed that uses certain antibiotics. Tyson has announced it will no longer feed its chickens with human antibiotics. Hershey is

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

removing artificial ingredients from its milk chocolates. This isn’t merely a trend, it’s a mass migration of packaged food firms struggling to plug big holes in their leaking ships. A major problem, however, is cost. Organic ingredients can be much more expensive than traditional items. Likewise, non-GMO may have broad appeal, but genetically-modified seeds can lead to agriculture that has higher output and much lower cost per unit of food. Artificial preservatives can extend shelf life, and thus reduce wastage and total costs to the consumer. The end result may be more packaged and restaurant foods with more natural ingredients in America and other high-income nations, where consumers can better afford them. Meanwhile, lower-income nations with large or rapidly expanding populations may have no choice but to rely heavily on genetically modified seeds as well as artificial ingredients and preservatives that result in lower prices. Consumer-Driven Trends in Food and Beverages 1) Reduced sugar content 2) A growing avoidance of artificial sweeteners 3) High demand for organically grown fruit, produce and grains 4) High demand for whole grains, “ancient” grains and heirloom-style vegetables 5) Demand for humane treatment of farm animals (cage-free chickens, free-range grazing animals) 6) Growing demand for dairy-free food and drink substitutes, such as soy milk and almond milk 7) Demand for locally sourced foods and farm-totable produce 8) A continuing backlash against genetically modified crops and ingredients 9) Demand for fresher foods in general, with fewer chemical additives such as preservatives 10) Demand for craft beers, artisanal alcoholic beverages and gourmet wines 11) Increased market for healthier snacks, “functional” foods or foods with nutritional benefits 12) Lower consumption of soft drinks, with waters, teas and juices as alternatives 13) Strong demand for gourmet coffees and teas 14) Reduced demand for highly processed, packaged foods (e.g., more consumption of home-cooked oatmeal instead of packaged cereals)

A report issued by the nonprofit Waste and Resources Action Program (WRAP) estimates that food left uneaten on a global basis costs up to $400 billion per year. WRAP estimated that by 2030, consumer food waste could rise to $600 billion per year if there is not a widespread effort in conservation and recycling. The program estimates that reducing food waste by 20% by the year 2030 could save as much as $120 billion yearly. Food recycling programs are now required in Connecticut, Massachusetts and major urban centers such as New York in the U.S. where hospitals, supermarkets, university cafeterias and other wasteintense facilities must separate and recycle food scraps. The city of London instituted a Love Food Hate Waste initiative (www.lovefoodhatewaste.com), a five-year program that partners WRAP with community organizations, chefs, UK governments and businesses, trade bodies and local authorities to promote food recycling. The cost for instituting food recycling programs (which turn scraps into fertilizer or electricity) is high. Large scale commercial “digesters” are prohibitively expensive, and in some cases state governments are stepping in with subsidies. The state of Connecticut, for example, offered $6 million in loans or grants for anaerobic digesters. In 2015, the state granted the first permit for a new anaerobic digestion facility to be built in Bridgeport. On a small scale, a company called BioHiTech offers a commercial bio-digester that’s about the size of a dishwasher. It is an easy-to-install, on-site digester in a self-contained, stainless-steel unit. No chemicals are used, and it discharges to a standard sewer line. Even the firm’s smallest unit can digest up to 800 pounds of waste daily, fed continuously into the machine. The intent is to dramatically

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

reduce the amount of waste that must be hauled away each day by using natural processes to reduce the materials fed into it. The machines are equipped with Intel processors and software and are connected to the internet. Users track (via PC or a mobile app) how much waste is digested and identifies waste by its supplier. 22) Wages Rise for Restaurant, Hotel and Hospitality Workers The restaurant sector has been one of the world’s largest providers of employment. As of December 2022, America’s restaurants and various other food service and drinking establishments employed 11.9 million people, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (The National Restaurant Association typically estimates that number to be even larger.) Likewise, hotels and similar businesses are very large employers, at about 1.5 million workers in the U.S. alone in late 2022. Initially, vast numbers of people lost their jobs during Coronavirus shelter at home restrictions, but by the spring of 2021, many companies had not only rehired staff but were having great difficulty in attracting enough workers. Wages have risen. While the count of jobs provided in hospitality is exceptionally high under normal conditions, the wages tend to be among the lowest of any industry. This tradition of low wages is due to many factors. For example, restaurant work is an entry-level job for many people, with few formal skills required on the low end. Next, the profit margin at typical restaurants is relatively low. Restaurant customers are very price sensitive. It is a significant challenge for restaurant operators to maintain profitability at all, leaving little room for substantial employee wages and benefits. There are a few exceptions to this low wage scenario: waiters, wine experts and service captains in very fine restaurants can earn substantial tips and pay. Managers of high-volume restaurants may also earn good salaries and benefits, and highly experienced head chefs can enjoy good salaries. Otherwise, most restaurant workers are hourly, and they often contend with part-time schedules. Their benefits are usually very limited, if any benefits are offered at all. This creates a paradox: One of the most enjoyable and vital things a consumer can purchase is a good meal. Nonetheless, consumers are unwilling to pay enough for those meals to create good wages for those who cook for them and serve them.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Restaurant wages are creating a great deal of public interest in America. Several cities (or U.S. states) have enacted minimum wages that are significantly higher than the federal minimum. Elsewhere, some restaurant workers were publicly demonstrating their demands for higher pay. These factors may lead to higher pay in restaurants. On the other hand, they may lead to rapid adoption of automation and robotics in restaurants, eliminating jobs. For example, table computers and touch screens are now well advanced and in use in a growing number of restaurants for ordering and paying for meals. Meanwhile, robotics for repetitive kitchen tasks is nearing commercial viability. Robots are also now commercially available that pick up completed food orders from the kitchen and carry them to the appropriate location in the restaurant. Hotels are likewise very large generators of jobs, most of which were at relatively modest pay levels. Those jobs include high numbers of maids, hotel restaurant staff, gardeners and desk clerks. However, a big difference between the hotel and restaurant sectors was that major hotel chains, such as Marriott, tend to offer somewhat better levels of pay than restaurants do, at the properties they own and/or manage. Major companies such as Marriott also tend to offer good benefits and excellent opportunities for career advancement from within the ranks. Cruise lines are an outlier. While North America is the world’s largest cruise market, and major cruise lines require vast numbers of crew members for their ships, they nonetheless employ very few residents of the U.S., Canada or Mexico. Instead, crew members at the lower levels (such as cabin stewards, servers and kitchen workers) tended to be contract workers from low-wage nations, recruited in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and Central America. Many are content to have relatively low pay, a steady job, good living conditions onboard and, in some jobs, the ability to earn tips. 23) Fast Food Faces Stiff Competition from Casual Dining Restaurants (Fast Casual/Fast Fine) Fast-casual restaurants are a hybrid of fast food and casual dining and include chains such as Shake Shack and Chipotle. Some rely on counter service, perhaps taking orders at the counter and then delivering the food to tables when ready. Others offer full table service. Established chefs (many of whom are famous, thanks to media coverage and TV channels such as the Food Network) are opening fast food and fast-

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

casual concepts. Guy Fieri of the Food Network had 14 restaurant brands and more than 70 restaurants around the world as of early 2022. Restaurant chains are also partnering with big name chefs to develop new menu items, such as Pei Wei’s deal with celebrity Asian food master Jet Tilafilm. The Shake Shack chain of hamburger restaurants is another example of upscale chefs and restauranteurs getting into the burger business. At Shake Shack, menus include 100%, all-natural Angus beef burgers and sandwiches made from 100% allnatural cage-free chickens. The firm makes strong statements about the environment and community involvement. After facing falling sales, many sit-down casual restaurant chains are streamlining food operations, adding fresh, more urbane menu items (such as tuna poke) and sprucing up dining and bar areas. The results are upswings in revenue for a number of chains including TGI Fridays, Red Lobster (owned by Golden Gate Capital) and Brio Tuscan Grille. As a result of the Coronavirus, nearly all restaurants, from fast food to fine dining establishments, became more reliant on takeout orders, some for the first time. F 24) Food Trucks Enjoy a Boom The recent boom in food trucks is largely attributed to a shift in urban consumer taste and a rise of food industry entrepreneurs around the time of the Great Recession (late 2007 to mid-2009). With the help of social media, food trucks went from constructions site fixtures to staples of urban dining. While Los Angeles-based Kogi Korean BBQ is seen as a starting point for the food truck boom back in 2008, a number of other major U.S. cities saw increases in food trucks around the same time. As a food industry business, food trucks also offer a low-investment alternative to store fronts with easier, walk-up access and a lot of operational flexibility. As a result, food trucks are often owned by groups typically less represented in restaurant ownership, such as minorities, women, immigrants, and LGBTQ entrepreneurs. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (USCC), 80% of Chicago’s food trucks are minority owned. In 2020, food trucks were estimated to have brought in $1.24 billion in revenue (down due to the Coronavirus pandemic). As established components of the urban food landscape, food trucks are expected to see continued growth over the long term. They are also predicted to transform from mere mobile food locations to more traditional food industry roles such

www.plunkettresearch.com

as catering, food fest participants or promotional popup stalls for brick-and-mortar restaurants. The open-air aspect of food trucks make them a good tool for social distancing as well in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. Food trucks have also taken on extremely unique aspects that sometimes escape brick-and-mortar restaurants, especially large national chains. Many see food trucks as integral components of a community and are even cited by cities as part of tourism campaigns. The ability of food truck owners to create highly experimental dishes at a low price also help to differentiate food trucks from restaurants in a positive way. One of the biggest issues facing food trucks is regulation. Depending on the city, regulations and startup costs have increased in recent years. Because of the local nature of food trucks, regulatory hurdles do not always reflect national trends on business friendly/unfriendly areas of the country. The biggest factors are a city’s commitment to community building, urban renewal, and susceptibility to restaurant group lobbying. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, starting a food truck business is easiest in Denver, Indianapolis, and Philadelphia and most difficult in Washington, D.C., Seattle and Boston. Food trucks that are able to find viable locations do not have to worry about many of the restrictions on seating and capacity affecting restaurants. An app set up by the National Food Truck Association has also been a great benefit to food truck operators by making it easier for them to connect with customers. Even with the advantages however, food trucks are still suffering as a result of Coronavirus-related public health restrictions and are likely to be hit as hard as many other small businesses. Cost to set up a business: Set up costs for a food truck can vary widely by geographic location. Overall, the greatest expense is for the truck itself, which can range from $50,000 to $200,000. According to USCC, the cost of obtaining permits and licenses range from $590 in Indianapolis to $17,066 in Boston. In more food truck-friendly locations, permits and licenses usually cost between $1,000 and $1,200. In addition to cost, the number of actual permits needed can vary significantly. San Francisco and Boston require a food truck operator to go through 32 separate procedures before they can start serving, while Denver requires only 10. Food trucks can also face a highly restrictive or open environment, depending on location, with Denver and Philadelphia having the fewest restrictions and

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

Washington and Minneapolis having the highest number. Overall, no one city has a complete advantage in startup cost for food truck operators, but there are a few, such as Denver and Philadelphia, that certainly have supportive environments for operating a food truck. Typical yearly income: A number of factors can impact the annual income that a food truck reaps. A recent survey by Food Truck Empire of over 300 fulltime food truck owners showed that 85% brought in $100,000 or more in annual gross income, while 21% brought in more than $200,000 in gross income. Net profits can depend on a number of factors, such as location, overhead costs, fees, and how many meal services are prepared and how many days a food truck operates. Although operating a food truck requires a significant amount of time, for some it has huge advantages to owning a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Many out-of-work chefs and failedrestaurant managers turned to food truck ownership as a low cost, back-to-basics way to earn a living that many felt was more advantageous then putting up the capital required for a traditional restaurant. 25) Meal Kits from Firms like Blue Apron Make It Easy to Prepare HomeCooked Meals Firms such as Blue Apron and HelloFresh have gained a reasonable level of popularity in home kitchens throughout the U.S., the UK, much of Asia/Pacific and the EU. Customers subscribe to these services, which provide pre-portioned meal ingredients and recipes, and promise fresh, highquality meats and produce that average about $10 per meal. Consumers order their meal kits online, which are delivered by UPS or similar ground services in high-tech packaging that keeps raw ingredients chilled and fresh. Demand was greatly spurred by the Coronavirus pandemic. Supermarkets are responding aggressively to the meal kit trend. For example, Walmart, HEB Grocery Company and Kroger are offering meal kits. Reachin coolers filled with attractively packaged, modestly priced meal kits are in high traffic areas in such stores. Shoppers can grab and go, and quickly put together a fresh meal at home using recipe cards that are inside of the packages. Alternately, shoppers can order these meal kits online, and then pick them up at curbside—a highly convenient way to organize tonight’s dinner without entering the store. HelloFresh has sold its branded meal kits to Giant Food & Stop and Shop stores, and Blue Apron Holdings has sold meal kits at Costco stores. A firm

www.plunkettresearch.com

called Plated has offered its kits through Safeway and Albertson stores, among others. Consumers using these complete meal kits want to create fresh, home-cooked meals that do not require a shopping trip to the supermarket. At the same time, however, they want innovative menus and recipes that they can enjoy cooking and serving. HelloFresh SE is the world’s leader in this sector, with headquarters in Berlin, Germany and distribution centers in many nations worldwide. One of its brands, Factor75, delivers fully cooked meals, a wide departure from the traditional raw ingredients kits offered by HelloFresh’s other brands. HelloFresh boosts it appeal by offering meal kits to fit a broad variety of dietary interests. For example, its Green Chef unit offers selections that are vegan, keto and paleo diet appropriate. 26) Craft/Microbreweries Proliferate Craft brewers are generally small independent brewers of beer and/or ale. The hallmark of craft beer and craft brewers is often innovation. These brewers typically interpret historic styles with unique twists and develop new styles that have no precedent. Craft beer is generally made with traditional ingredients like malted barley, while interesting and sometimes non-traditional ingredients are often added for distinctiveness. In recent years, the number of regional craft breweries, microbreweries, taprooms and brewpubs has proliferated throughout the U.S. These breweries rose from 4,803 in 2015 to 9,552 in 2022 according to the Brewer’s Association. Overall beer volume sales in 2022 were down 3% from 2021 to 182.1 million barrels or $115.4 billion. However, sales of craft beer in 2022 rose by 0.1% to 24.3 million barrels or $28.4 billion (a 6%-dollar growth over 2021). 27) The Future of the Food Industry, Agriculture, Food Demand, Supermarkets and Online Food Retailing Several clear trends have developed for the future of the food and agriculture industries. These trends will be driven by growing global middle class populations and their needs, technologies and supply chain developments. Equally important will be rapidly evolving consumer perceptions of what constitutes foods that are both safe and healthy to eat. Meanwhile, evolving consumer demographics will also play a major role, as Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials all may want to simplify the tasks

Plunkett Research, Ltd.

involved in planning menus, shopping for food and cooking. First, there are the most important drivers of demand: the growing global middle class, and growing world population in general. The UN estimates that total world food demand could increase by 70% in the forty years between 2010 and 2050. This is based on overall population growth to about 10 billion people, and continued rapid development of the middle class, its size and its income. One of the first things a household with rising income typically spends on is additional calories and more meat intake. This increased demand is going to put strains on agricultural water supplies. In addition, there will be the environmental effects of adding to the world’s farmland acreage, the use of fertilizers and the use of pesticides. Chicken and farmed fish (aquaculture) will be the fastest growing protein food segments. Agricultural technologies (“agtech”) will play a large role: better control of irrigation to reduce waste will help tame water challenges; precision agriculture, based on GPS-guided farm equipment, aerial mapping and management via drones; biotechnology’s role in higher-yielding seeds; remote sensors for crop field analytics; and better software and analytics for management of the entire food supply chain—from the farm to the warehouse to the store and consumer. Developing nations will be forced to improve their roadway, freight train and warehouse infrastructures to reduce food wastage and shorten time to market. Innovative food products will eventually play a role, such as functional processed foods that offer better nutritional values, the application of nanotechnology to food storage and packaging, and the creation of food proteins in the laboratory. The Coronavirus pandemic caused some trends to accelerate to the present day. Supermarkets have been forced to provide smooth integration between online ordering, home delivery and in-store pickup or shopping. Food and grocery product e-commerce is soaring. In affluent markets, ready-to-eat foods will grow in importance, whether they are picked up at prepared food displays in supermarkets or sent straight to the home by food delivery services. The popularity of complete packages of recipes and meal ingredients, delivered fresh to the door, such as services like Blue Apron, are part of this trend, providing a vital service to consumers who want to cook at home but don’t have the time or the inclination to shop.

www.plunkettresearch.com

Supermarket customers are buying less per trip, choosing instead to buy fresh foods that don’t keep on pantry shelves or in refrigerators for long. Sales of shelf-stable foods are falling while items such as cleaning supplies and paper goods are more and more often purchased online. Most aisles in the middle of supermarkets offer vast selections of these staple consumer goods, which is one of the reasons why supermarkets are so large. As the industry evolves over time, supermarkets may have to become smaller in order to be economically viable. This has been a recent trend in retail stores of many types. On the other hand, savvy grocers may be able to repurpose portions of supermarkets in order to make them more interesting and entertaining to shop in. A good example of this strategy is the massive luxury supermarkets branded Central Market as run by HEB in Texas. These stores are true shopping destinations and may feature such unique departments as a European-style bakery, olive oil bar, dine-in café, old-fashioned butcher shop, and areas where specialty items such as fine chocolates are created on-site. Consumers will place heavier demands on food suppliers. Food consumers with relatively high incomes will respond well to an ever-widening array of choices of brands and types of food. Many will demand greater transparency of food origin and higher food safety standards. Smartphone apps will play a dominant role in reading bar codes on food packages and displaying related food origin information. Consumers want clear-cut choices and alternatives such as foods that are free of genetically modified ingredients, offer healthier nutrition or are gluten-free. There is likewise demand for foods that are vegetarian, meats from humanely raised animals, organically produced foods, free-trade foods or other categories that cater to distinct consumer preferences. These categories of foods will continue to enjoy soaring growth, while traditional, high-output food processors will be deeply challenged to reposition their products to satisfy these consumers. At the same time, many consumers will boost the market for more artisanal, locally produced, or hand-crafted foods.

Occupation Title

1 Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the totals include occupations not shown separately. Estimates do not include self-employed workers. 2 Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data. 3 The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.

Chapter 4 THE FOOD 500: WHO THEY ARE AND HOW THEY WERE CHOSEN Includes Indexes by Company Name, Industry & Location The companies chosen to be listed in PLUNKETT’S FOOD INDUSTRY ALMANAC comprise a unique list. THE FOOD 500 were chosen specifically for their dominance in the many facets of the food and beverage industry in which they operate. Complete information about each firm can be found in the “Individual Profiles,” beginning at the end of this chapter. These profiles are in alphabetical order by company name. THE FOOD 500 companies are from all parts of the United States, Canada, Europe and beyond. Essentially, THE FOOD 500 includes companies that are deeply involved in the technologies, services and trends that keep the entire industry forging ahead. Simply stated, THE FOOD 500 contains the largest, most successful, fastest growing firms in food and related industries in the world. To be included in our list, the firms had to meet the following criteria: 1) Generally, these are corporations based in the U.S., however, the headquarters of many firms are located in other nations. 2) Prominence, or a significant presence, in food, beverage, food-based services, equipment and supporting fields. (See the following Industry

Codes section for a complete list of types of businesses that are covered). 3) The companies in THE FOOD 500 do not have to be exclusively in the food field. 4) Financial data and vital statistics must have been available to the editors of this book, either directly from the company being written about or from outside sources deemed reliable and accurate by the editors. A small number of companies that we would like to have included are not listed because of a lack of sufficient, objective data. INDEXES TO THE FIRMS, AS FOUND IN THIS CHAPTER AND IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK: Index of Rankings Within Industry Groups Alphabetical Index Index of U.S. Headquarters Location by State Index of Non-U.S. Headquarters Location by Country Index of Firms Noted as “Hot Spots for Advancement” for Women/Minorities Index by Subsidiaries, Brand Names and Selected Affiliations

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

The Absolut Company, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard SA, oversees the global production and marketing of its vodka, Absolut, one of the largest premium spirits brands in the world. Absolut is manufactured using a process known as continuous distillation, allowing the vodka to be distilled hundreds of times before finally being bottled. The six main Absolut brands are: Absolut Vodka, Absolut Elyx, Malibu, Kahlua, Our/Vodka and Ahus Akvavit. Absolut Vodka is the firm's signature brand of vodka. Absolut Elyx is distilled with a process called copper catalyzation, which ensures maximum contact with the copper. The raw spirit is then further rectified using a vintage copper still from 1921, which is hand operated. Malibu rum, produced in the Caribbean, is the number one coconut-flavored rum in the world and is sold in more than 150 countries. Kahlua, produced in Mexico, is a coffee flavored liqueur available in six different varieties: Original, Salted Caramel, Espresso Martini, Chili Chocolate, Mint Mocha, Vanilla Liqueur, Especial Coffee and Pumpkin Spice. Absolut's Our/Vodka is a different kind of joint venture brand that partners with locals who provide their own take on vodka, offering their city's distinct personality and expression. Our/Vodka is partly distilled, blended and hand bottled in urban micro-distilleries built in each of these cities, and is then made with ingredients sources as locally as possible using a global recipe. The labels on Our/Vodka bottles all look the same, but each city's name, address and alcohol content percentage are printed on them, creating an individual uniqueness. Ahus Akvavit is a Swedish liquor distilled from grain and potatoes, and flavored with a variety of herbs, including dill. Key international markets for Absolut include the U.S., Sweden, Poland, Canada, Greece, China, India, Russia, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Poland, the U.K. and Mexico.

Beyond Meat is a provider of plant-based meats, such as burgers, sausage, ground beef, and chicken. Unlike other vegetarian products, Beyond Meat seeks to replicate the look, cook, and taste of meat, is targeted to omnivores and vegetarians alike, and is sold in the meat case. The products are widely available across the U.S. and Canada and in 83 additional countries as well. International revenue represented 31% of 2021 sales. The firm's products are available in retail stores and the food-service channel. In 2019, before the pandemic struck, sales were evenly split between these two channels, although mix stood at 70% retail/30% food service in 2021. We think the recovery from the crisis and new deals with McDonald's and Yum Brands will return food-service sales to 50% in time.

Brown-Forman is the largest U.S.-domiciled producer of distilled spirits. The firm reports only a single operating segment, and whiskey represents its primary business driver, generating roughly three quarters of sales, undergirded by the Jack Daniel's brand as well as bourbons such as Woodford Reserve and Old Forrester. Notable non-whiskey offerings include tequilas such as el Jimador and Herradura. The firm operates globally, with products sold in more than 170 countries, and adapts its route-to-consumer model depending on regulation as well as the prevailing competitive dynamics in a given market. For example, it sells through distributors in the U.S. but operates its own logistics apparatus in many other countries. The company remains under the control of the Brown family. Brown-Forman offers employees an annual holiday bonus; medical, vision and dental coverage; prescription drug coverage; an employee assistance program; retirement programs; and life insurance.

China Resources Beer, or CR Beer, was originally a conglomerate enterprise with operations across retail, beer, food, and beverage sectors. In September 2015, the company disposed of all its non-beer businesses and became a pure beer player. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the company retains its leadership position in China's beer industry. Amid the premiumization trend in the domestic beer market, CR beer acquired Heineken China in 2019, which allows CR Beer access to a premium international brand and also leverages its sophisticated distribution network to grow Heineken's sales and market share. CR Beer is now China's largest brewer, with a volume share of about 24%, versus 18% of Tsingtao and 16% of Budweiser APAC, based on Euromonitor data.

I

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Chobani, LLC is an American producer of strained yogurt, as well as other dairy and non-dairy products. The yogurt has been strained through a cloth, usually muslin, in order to remove its whey. This process causes the yogurt to become relatively thick and the protein content to increase while simultaneously retaining the distinctive sour taste associated with yogurt. Chobani began manufacturing yogurt in 2005, operating out of a plant, formerly owned by Kraft Foods, in the state of New York. Since that time, the firm has opened one of the largest yogurt processing plants in the world in Twin Falls, Idaho. In addition to its two domestic plants, Chobani has an international plant in Dandenong, Australia. Whether it is made in the U.S. or Australia, all yogurt is produced using milk from regional farms with cows that have not been treated with growth hormones. Yogurt products produced by Chobani include various flavors of Chobani Fruit on the Bottom, a preservative-free fruit with yogurt placed on top; Chobani Blended, fruit and yogurt mixed together; Chobani Flip, yogurt with all natural ingredients on the side; Drink Chobani, a smooth drinkable yogurt; a few variations comprising just a hint of flavor; non-fat and whole-milk plain yogurt; various flavors of non-Greek smooth yogurt; and Chobani Kids, smaller servings of blended-style yogurt. In addition to these products, the firm produces farm-fresh dairy creamers and an oat-based nondairy blend of milk and yogurts, fortified with plant-based protein and probiotics. It offers drink products such as cold brew coffee and plant-based beverages. Chobani operates the Chobani Cafe casual restaurant concept in New York City, offering yogurt-based dishes, sandwiches, salads, soups, smoothies and more. Chobani offers its employees comprehensive health benefits, 401(k), life/disability insurance and more.

Corona Modelo Pacifico Meiomi Cooper & Thief 7 Moons Casa Noble SVEDKA

Constellation Brands is the largest multi-category alcohol supplier in the U.S. The business is anchored by a portfolio of Mexican beer trademarks, including Corona and Modelo, for which it acquired exclusive and perpetual U.S. ownership from AB InBev. The latter had to divest these rights due to antitrust mandates as it consummated its 2013 acquisition of dominant Mexican brewer, Grupo Modelo. Constellation's wine/spirits business has recently transitioned, divesting several lowermargin assets, including myriad wine brands and its Ballast Point craft beer brand. The firm imports most products after manufacturing them abroad, going to market through independent wholesalers. It owns 36% of Canopy Growth, a leading provider of medicinal and recreational cannabis products.

Olive Garden LongHorn Steakhouse Cheddars Scratch Kitchen Capital Grille (The) Bahama Breeze Eddie Vs Prime Seafood Yard House Seasons 52

Darden Restaurants is the largest restaurant operator in the U.S. full-service space, with consolidated revenue of $9.6 billion in fiscal 2022 resulting in 3%-4% full-service market share (per NRA data and our calculations). The company maintains a portfolio of eight restaurant chains: Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, Yard House, The Capital Grille, Seasons 52, Eddie V's, and Bahama Breeze. Darden generates revenue almost exclusively from company-owned restaurants, though a small network of franchised restaurants and consumer-packaged goods sales through the traditional grocery channel contribute modestly. As of the end of Darden's fiscal 2022, the company operated 1,864 restaurants in the U.S.

DeMoulas Supermarkets, Inc., founded in 1954, operates a chain of grocery stores in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. All the firm's grocery stores are branded under the Market Basket name. DeMoulas was founded by brothers George and Mike Demoulas, who purchased their parents' grocery store and extended it. Many years later, due to continued controversy over ownership and leadership of the company, an agreement was reached to sell the 50.5% stake owned by the family of Arthur S. Demoulas to his cousin Arthur T. Demoulas. Most of the company's stores are located within shopping centers and other retail outlets. All other Market Baskets located elsewhere throughout the U.S. are not affiliated with DeMoulas supermarkets. The Market Basket stores offer a range of departments, including grocery, produce, dairy, frozen foods, meat, deli, seafood, cheese, bakery and alcoholic beverages, with some locations including kitchens that cook foods such as rotisserie chickens and handspun pizzas for sale or make hand-crafted sushi. In-store Market's Cafe concepts offer seating areas and provide freshsqueezed orange juice, smoothies, coffee, teas, bagels/muffins, ice cream and more.

Earthbound Farm, LLC is one of largest producers, processors and shippers of organic produce and specialty salads in the U.S. The firm is a subsidiary of Taylor Farms. Earthbound Farm offers numerous products, including over 100 varieties of organic salads, fruits and vegetables as well as dried fruit snacks, bottled carrot juice and frozen meal starter kits. The company pioneered the creation and marketing of the prepackaged salad in the mid-1990s, when the firm was founded. Earthbound's produce is priced comparatively higher than conventionally grown produce due to the use of human labor to control insects, plant diseases, weeds and other problems rather than chemicals. Its intended market consists of health- and environmentally-conscious individuals who are willing to pay more for organically grown food. Earthbound's products are grown on more than 45,000 acres by various farmers on farms. In keeping with the company's mission of environmental responsibility, Earthbound Farm has chosen not to use fossil fuels and instead relies primarily on clean-burning biodiesel in its farm equipment, controlling costs by producing the fuel in an on-site biodiesel plant.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Ecotone is an international organic and plant-based food company with operations throughout Europe. The firm's mission is food for biodiversity. Everything Ecotone grows and makes is from the soil to the table, from the farmer to the consumer. The company's foods are grouped into six core categories: dairy alternatives, tea/coffee and beyond, vegetable food, sweet snacks, breakfasts, and bread and biscuits. Dairy alternatives consist of plant-based milk and yogurt; tea/coffee and beyond includes herbal tea, hot chocolate, coffee and grain-based alternatives. Vegetable food consists of meat-free, ready-made meals, vegetable spreads and plant-based proteins. Sweet snacks range from traditional European biscuits and cereal bars to fair trade chocolate compotes. Breakfasts are primarily organic cereals, which include amaranth, walnuts and oats, as well as traditional cereals. Last, bread and biscuits are alternatives to wheat and gluten, and made with products such as rice, corn or buckwheat. Brands of the Ecotone include Allos, Alter Eco, Bjorg, Bonneterre, Clipper, Destination, Danival, El Granero, Isola Bio, Kallo, Whole Earth and Zonnatura. Ecotone owns nine production facilities, and also works with a network of suppliers. Ecotone U.K. offers four brands within its region, including Clipper, Kallo, Whole Earth and Mrs. Crimbles. Ecotone is majority-owned (96.81%) by a consortium led by private equity fund PAI Partners SAS. During 2022, Ecotone announced a $21.6 million (20 million Euro) investment in its plant-based beverage production site located in northern Italy. The investment enabled the creation of a new production line that is now in operation (as of early-2023).

Loblaw Companies Limited Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust Weston Foods Presidents Choice Life Brand no name Farmers Market PC Optimum

George Weston is a holding company that operates through two subsidiaries encompassing retail and real estate. The first is Loblaw, the largest grocer in Canada, in which it has a 53% controlling stake. The second is Choice Properties, an openended real estate investment trust, where George Weston's ownership sits close to 62%. The company sold Weston Foods, a North American bakery, in early 2022, which the firm had previously wholly owned. While the two remaining entities are separate, they operate under a contractual, as well as tacit, framework of strategic business partnerships. This is exemplified by Loblaw being Choice's largest tenant. George Weston offers its employees an employee share ownership program, a group registered retirement savings plan, and employee assistance programs.

Reeses Kit Kat Hershey Bars Hershey Kisses Hersheys Chocolate World

Hershey is a leading confectionery manufacturer in the U.S. (around a $25 billion market), controlling around 47% of the domestic chocolate space (per IRI). Beyond its namesake label, the firm's mix has expanded over the last 85 years and now consists of 100 brands, including Reese's, Kit Kat, Kisses, and Ice Breakers. Hershey's products are sold in about 80 countries, albeit with just a high-single-digit percentage of sales coming from markets outside the U.S., including Brazil, India, and Mexico. The firm has sought inorganic opportunities to extend its reach beyond its core confection business, adding Amplify Snack Brands and its Skinny Pop ready-to-eat popcorn to its mix and Pirate Brands (including the Pirate's Booty, Smart Puffs, and Original Tings brands) over the past few years. Hershey offers its employees comprehensive health benefits and retirement plans.

Hostess Brands is the second-largest U.S. provider of sweet baked goods under the Hostess, Voortman, and Dolly Madison group of brands, including Twinkies, Cupcakes, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Donettes, and Zingers. In 2018, Hostess expanded its breakfast offerings with the purchase of Aryzta's breakfast assets (the Cloverhill business), including a branded business and private-label deals, and in 2020 entered the cookie category via the Voortman tie-up. Although its roots stem from the 1919 launch of the Hostess Cupcake, the company filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Investors purchased the brands and restarted production in 2013, followed by a 2016 initial public offering. Most products are sold in the U.S., although third parties distribute some product to Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

In-N-Out Burgers, Inc. is a chain of fast-food restaurants that began in 1948 and primarily serve hamburgers, French fries, ice cream shakes and beverages. Founded in Baldwin Park, California, it has slowly expanded outside of the state and into Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Oregon and Texas with over 385 locations (as of January 2023). Hamburgers and cheeseburgers consist of 100% pure beef, American cheese, leaf lettuce, tomato, a special spread, with or without onions and stacked high on a freshly-baked bun. The restaurants have an extras menu where hamburger choices include double meat; 3x3, containing three patties and three slices of cheese; 4x4, four patties and four slices of cheese; protein style, the burger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun; and Animal Style, which is any size burger choice with the patties cooked with mustard and all the fixings. All hamburger patties are free of additives, fillers and preservatives of any kind. The firm pays a premium to purchase fresh, high quality beef chuck, and has in-house butchers that remove the bones, grind the meat and make every patty ready for cooking. Potatoes are shipped directly from farms, individually cut in the firm's stores, then cooked in 100% pure vegetable oil. Shakes are made with milk and real ice cream. Typical fast-food equipment such as heat lamps, microwaves and freezers are never found in an In-NOut Burgers kitchen. The company's website offers products for purchase such as apparel and gift cards, as well as limited time offers. In-N-Out cookout trailers can be reserved for parties, weddings or other events. In January 2023, In-N-Out announced plans to build a new corporate hub in Franklin, Tennessee, as well as open new restaurants in the state. The expansion into Tennessee is expected to create approximately 275 jobs. Employee benefits are offered.

The tobacco business contributes 90% of group sales and nearly all profits, with more than half generated by JTI, the overseas tobacco arm. JTI was created through the acquisition of R.J. Reynolds' non-U.S. operations in 1999 and further expanded through multiple acquisitions, of which the purchase of Gallaher in 2007 was the most notable, doubling JTI's sales. Pharmaceutical and processed food operations are the other businesses.

Jimmy John's Franchise, LLC is an American franchised restaurant chain specializing in the delivery of sandwiches. Jimmy John's was founded in 1983, and has more than 2,700 locations in 43 U.S. states. The chain utilizes a term claiming they are Freaky Fast at making great sandwiches. Everything is fresh, the bread, the meats and the vegetables and condiments. Breads are never more than 4 hours old and made throughout the day at every restaurant chain. Meats are sliced and weighed for each portion ordered and are all-natural. Every single sandwich is made to order at every single store every day. Even tuna salad sandwiches are freshly made per order. Jimmy John's has a proprietary ranch puree of hot cherry peppers blended with fresh buttermilk and other ingredients which is used as a sandwich dressing as well as a dipping sauce. Produce is locally purchased and condiments are purchased from well-known labels such as Hellmann's, Grey Poupon and StarKist. Sides with sandwiches are available, and include: kettle-cooked chips, which are cooked in 100% peanut oil and branded as Regular Jimmy Chips; and Jimmy John's Thinny Chips, consisting of three ingredients, namely potatoes, salt and peanut oil. Jimmy John's cookies come in two flavors: triple chocolate chunk and raisin oatmeal. Jimmy John's restaurants provide a casual dine-in concept, and its delivery service supplies sandwiches and sides to thousands of businesses and various occasions every day. Franchisees receive up to $30,000-35,000 credit on their initial franchise fee. Store sizes range from 800 to 1800 square feet. Total investment range spans from $316,100 to $558,600 (as of early-2023). Jimmy John's is a subsidiary of multi-brand restaurant company, Inspire Brands, Inc.

The firm has also started to incubate new trademarks for emerging enclaves of the energy space, like Reign in performance energy. It is primarily a brand owner, outsourcing Most of its manufacturing processes to third-party copackers. It primarily uses the Coca-Cola bottling system for distribution after a strategic agreement in which Coke became Monster's largest shareholder (nearly 20%) and that also included the exchange of certain businesses between the two firms. Most of Monster's revenue is generated in the United States, though international geographies are increasing in the mix.

Other offerings include Rip It energy drinks, Everfresh juices, and soda brands like Shasta and Faygo. The firm controls most of its production and distribution apparatus, with very little outsourcing. In terms of go-to-market, it uses warehouse distribution for big-box retailers, direct-storedelivery for convenience stores and other small outlets, and food-service distributors for the food-service channel (schools, hospitals, restaurants). It is controlled by chairman and CEO Nick Caporella, who owns over 73% of the common stock.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Perfect Day, Inc. was established in 2014 by vegans who developed a way to replicate dairy protein in an animal-free way. The firm's flagship product was precision fermentation protein, then came animal-free milk protein ice cream and powders. Perfect Day gave microflora a precise DNA sequence that serves as a blueprint for how to make cow whey protein, which makes milk taste like milk and whip up like cream. Flora can be defined as a plant, bacterial or fungal life; and microflora can be defined as microscopic flora, a small or strictly localized flora. Therefore, Perfect Day's flora are the microscopic organisms used in its fermentation process to make animalfree dairy protein. The company leverages its expertise across biological engineering, food innovation and consumer products. Perfect Day entered the protein powder category in late-2021, offering a ready-to-mix line of whey protein powders for the performance and sports nutrition markets. The protein powders are marketed under the Natreve (a partner of Perfect Day) and the California Performance Co. (see below) brand names. Perfect Day helps companies develop, scale and commercialize next-generation products through its enterprise biology platform referred to as SBF. SBF can be utilized by a wide range of industries, including food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, biologics, textile and personal care. Subsidiary The Urgent Company is a consumer product company that focuses on the next-generation of consumer brands that harness innovation and technology to create sustainable animal-free foods. California Performance Co. was created by The Urgent Company.

JBS SA

Pilgrim's Pride is the second-largest poultry producer in the U.S. (62% of 2021 sales), Europe (26%), and Mexico (12%). The 2019 purchase of Tulip, the U.K.'s largest hog producer, marks the firm's entrance into the pork market, which represents about 10% of sales. Pilgrim's sells its protein to chain restaurants, food processors, and retail chains. Channel exposure is split evenly between retail and food service, with the majority of food-service revenue coming from quick-service restaurants. JBS owns 80% of Pilgrim's outstanding shares; it attempted to purchase the remaining 20% in late 2021, but the board rejected JBS' $26.50 offer as inadequate, and we concur.

Sargento Foods, Inc., a private, family-owned manufacturer, packager and marketer of cheese products, in business since 1953. Sargento operates through two business divisions: consumer products and food service and ingredients (FSI). The consumer products division packages and markets products sold under the Sargento brand name, including shredded cheese, cheese blends, snack products, specialty cheeses and non-cheese items, such as snack foods; salad finishers and potato finishers; and ethnic sauces. The company has a number of kosher products, reduced sodium products and reduced fat cheese varieties. The FSI division customproduces cheese products to the specifications of corporate customers, including many national restaurant chains, and provides custom products for other food manufacturers, including sliced, shredded and diced cheeses; portion-control packs; sauces; and fillings. These products include sliced and shredded cheeses and breaded appetizers. The plants have a variety of certifications including kosher and USDA meat. In addition, Sargento markets high-end specialty cheeses through catalogs and its website. The company has been innovative in producing value-added cheese products, thus keeping it competitive against industry-giant Kraft. In 1958, Sargento was the first to sell packaged shredded cheese; and in 1986, it developed the first zippered re-sealable packaging. Currently, Sargento has four Wisconsin locations, with headquarters in Plymouth and operations in Elkhart Lake, Kiel and Hilbert. The Gentine family owns and operates Sargento. Sargento offers employees comprehensive health benefits, a 401(k), and group term life and short/long-term disability coverage.

Currently, there are seven store locations: three in Connecticut (Danbury, Norwalk and Newington), three in New York (Yonkers, Farmingdale and East Meadow), and one in New Jersey (Paramus). Unlike the majority of grocery stores throughout the U.S., which offer 30,000 products or more, Stew Leonard's offers approximately 2,200. The firm chooses to limit its offerings and focus on the quality and freshness of its food. Approximately 80% of the products sold in-store are brought in daily or prepared directly in the store. Stew Leonard's stores feature petting zoos, animatronics, entertainment programming and costumed characters. The stores also provide services such as kid's parties, private catering, gift baskets, photo cakes, gardening workshops and floral design for special events. The company maintains a website that showcases its products and specials, lists recipes and provides children's activities. Stew's Fresh Delivery, powered by Instacart, is a technology-driven, nationwide on-demand grocery delivery service. Stew offers its employees a (401)k savings and retirement plan, profit sharing, wellness challenges and other benefits and perks.

Stine Seed Company, one of the world's largest privatelyowned seed companies, is a producer of corn and soybean seed. Operating out of its 15,000-acre, Iowa-based farm, Stine and its affiliated companies have developed over 800 patents (most pertaining to soybeans), and sells its products to large agricultural businesses. Stine breeds, develops and tests approximately 1 million unique soybean varieties and more than 100,000 preliminary corn hybrids annually. The company separates itself from many other producers of geneticallyenhanced seeds by relying on the technique of plant breeding rather than laboratory-driven genetic modifications. Stine's corn combines desirable trait packages with its exclusive genetics to produce hybrids, with corn fields consistently averaging 300 to 400 bushels per acre. Corn trait products are offered under the Agrisure and Stine brand lines, among others. Stine's MX Series of corn offers hybrids derived from corn-bred genetics. The majority of planted soybean on U.S. acreage use seeds with Stine's genetic developments. Soybean trait products are offered under the Enlist E3, LibertyLink, XtendFlex and Elite Conventional brand lines, designed to provide choices for every kind of field. The Stine XP line of seed treatments offers growers protection from early seedling diseases and insects that cut into yields. Stine appoints a regional sales agronomist to each region it serves, and are available to Stine farmer customers free of charge.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Trader Joe's Company, Inc. operates a chain of approximately 560 company-owned and -operated specialty grocery stores throughout the U.S., with nearly 200 stores located in California, where the company was founded. Although the stores sell some brand-name products, the vast majority of the selection is comprised of more than 3,000 Trader Joe's privatelabel products, including specialty vegetarian, kosher, organic food and vitamin supplement products as well as regional fare, such as Thai and Mexican foods. Prices tend to be comparable to or lower than traditional groceries, as a result of Trader Joe's efforts to buy many items and ingredients directly from suppliers and the chain's focus on its private label lines. The company also keeps costs down by eliminating service departments and using spaces of 15,000 square feet or less for its stores. Selections and inventory tend to vary from state to state and store to store because of the company's commitment to experimentation, regional and seasonal products and bringing variety to its customers. The firm is privately owned by a trust created by Theo Albrecht, co-founder of German supermarket chain ALDI Group. Trader Joe's offers employees medical, dental and vision plans; a company-paid retirement contribution; employee discounts; and paid time off.

Riviana Foods

TreeHouse Foods, the largest private label manufacturer in the U.S., is the product of a slew of acquisitions, the most significant being the 2016 acquisition of Ralcorp, Conagra's former private brands business. The firm plays in over 25 categories, including snacks like pretzels and cookies, meals like pasta and dry dinners, and single-serve beverages like pods and ready-to-drink coffee. Retailers represent its most significant end-market, where it sells products for resale under retailer brands, but it also serves foodservice customers (providing a similar service as its retail business), industrial (selling bulk food for repackaging and repurposing), and branded consumer goods firms (under co-packing arrangements). Over 90% of its revenue comes from the U.S.

Trident Seafoods Corporation is a leading U.S. producer of ready-to-prepare seafood items. In the 1970s, it pioneered the concept of catching, processing and canning crab all on the same boat. The company currently owns several of its own vessels, including trawlers, crab catchers, fish processors and freighters. It catches and processes king crab, pacific crab, pollock, halibut, Pacific whiting and black cod as well as several species of rockfish and sole. Trident is one of the leaders in the Alaska seafood industry in the production of crab, canned sockeye salmon, frozen Bristol Bay sockeye, pollock, herring and canned pink salmon. The company maintains several processing plants in the Pacific Northwest region and more, including three in Washington, one in Georgia and ten in Alaska. Its plant in Motley, Minnesota only produces surimi, an imitation crab product made from pollock, with production amounting to approximately 100 million pounds of surimi each year. Most plants are highly seasonal, with an output usually lasting only a few months in the summer. A notable exception is Trident's Akutan plant in Southwest Alaska, one of the largest seafood production facilities in North America, with a yearround frozen seafood operation capable of processing over 3 million pounds of multiple species daily. Brands of the firm include Trident Seafoods, Royal Pink, Sea Alaska, Royal Red, Louis Kemp and Pure Alaska Omega, with Omega offering 100% fish oil dietary supplements. Trident has global operations and distribution channels in China, Japan, Germany and throughout Europe.

Unlike other major brewers, Tsingtao Brewery's brand umbrellas consist entirely of domestic brands. The Tsingtao brand has a midrange to high-end market positioning and contributed over half of its volume whereas the mass market Laoshan brand targets the mainstream segment, with a declining volume mix as the company sought to premiumize its portfolio in recent years.

Wendys Wendys Restaurants LLC Wendys International LLC

The Wendy's Company is the second-largest burger quickservice restaurant, or QSR, chain in the United States by systemwide sales, with $11.1 billion in 2021, narrowly edging Burger King ($10.3 billion) and clocking in well behind widemoat McDonald's ($45.7 billion). After divestitures of Tim Hortons (2006) and Arby's (2011), the firm manages just the burger banner, generating sales across a footprint that spans almost 7,000 total units in 30 countries. Wendy's generates revenue from the sale of hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, and fries throughout its company-owned footprint, through franchise royalty and marketing fund payments remitted by its franchisees, which account for 94% of stores, and through franchise flipping and advisory fees.

I GROWTH PLANS/SPECIAL FEATURES:

Western Beef, Inc. operates 22 high-volume, warehouse-type supermarkets as well as smaller market formats in New York and Florida. Western Beef establishes supermarkets primarily in inner-city neighborhoods and carries all major national and private label brands. The company also operates a wholesale food business, which deals mainly in beef, pork, poultry, provisions and private-label groceries to customers in New York. Operating its own meat, grocery and produce warehouses allows the company to cut out middleman operations and provide lower priced products to customers. Western Beef provides ethnic foods for densely populated, culturally diverse areas in which its stores are located. Since a large portion of the firm's customers come from foreign countries, the supermarkets supply exotic, imported ingredients. Smaller Western Beef Market concepts are smaller warehouse style supermarkets and primarily located in dense ethnic city neighborhoods. Supermarkets have a minimum of 30,000 square feet, up to 50,000 square feet, and the smaller markets range between 10,000 and 16,000 square feet. Western Beef performs extensive demographic research on ethnic backgrounds, income levels, population density and food preferences in order to stock the brands and sizes of products that its customers prefer. Many stores also include brick-oven bakeries, which bake a variety of old-world bread and rolls from basic ingredients. The Western Beef warehouse formats are distinguishable from traditional ones by comprising an unusually broad selection of meat and produce and a very limited selection of non-food items, such as health and beauty aids. Western Beef operates as a subsidiary of Cactus Holdings Incorporated, based in Queens, New York.
