Book excerpt: English Abstract: As one of the biggest food markets in the world, China has been the target of many food-and agri-business companies. The objective of this study is to provide practical information for the potential investor and exporter by describing the structures and trends in the retail food trade of China. This study characterizes the present food trade of China, and elaborates on the most important structures and trends. These are illustrated with the help of a case study about the retail food trade. Owing to regional differences, firms in the small city Jinghua, the medium sized city Hangzhou and in Beijing are examined and compared. Being closely connected with the economic reforms, the economic growth and the rising incomes of consumers has resulted in continuous increases in the volume of retail food sales in China. However, regional, urban and rural differentiation can be observed. Although the traditional retail outlets are still the most important type of store, both the weekly market and the food wholesale market function as main shopping places, particularly for fresh products and lower price items. On the other hand, in cities, modern supermarkets are gaining in popularity, primarily due to the flexibility offered by self-service and the wide assortment of merchandise. The concentration process in the retail food trade is beginning, although the degree of concentration is still very low. Due to the increasing competition, large sized enterprise groups are springing up by acquisition, co-operation and merger. Regionally, chain stores have expanded explosively. As a strong source of competition to domestic enterprises, internationally operating enterprises have been involved in Chinese retail food trade with several supermarkets in large cities. The once planned and supply driven Chinese food market has now become largely consumer driven. Together with the continuously increasing household income, this has led to a great variety of supplied food products. Chinese consumers have altered their food consumption behaviour, most notably by increasing their share of animal and higher value products. Especially in cities, the trend is going towards processed, prepared or pre-cooked food, health food, wine and beer, as well as non-alcoholic beverages such as mineral water and juices. In the last five years, the exports of animal products, beverages, sweets, canned vegetables, and canned fruits from Germany to China have increased with high growth rates.

Book excerpt: Since its economic reform and market opening in 1978, China has been of concern to many entrepreneurs and policymakers as one of the most competitive manufacturing locations over the last 30 years. During this period, China has attracted investment of foreign capital in their industry by offering a highly amicable investment climate, thereby securing a chance to restructure their economic system.As a result, China has experienced unprecedented rapid economic growth, which has turned the Chinese into attractive consumers with latent purchasing power, not just workers with a high quality work force.In this study, we analyze the Chinese food market, the most remarkable consumer market experiencing structural change, and seek out business opportunities and challenges for the Korean food processing industry where they try to find the next growth engine going beyond the stagnation in industries' growth.For this purpose, we first review the supply and demand sector of the Chinese food market by examining the statistics for the food processing industry sector and household food consumption. Next, we measure the change in food consumption patterns, particularly focusing on changes in the food demand behavior of urban households.Based on the results analyzed above, we lastly evaluate the current performance and potential of the Korean food processing industry in the Chinese food market, and then find a way to sustain long term success in this market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development largely depends on how given places participate in global economic processes.The contributions to this book address various features of the integration of sub-Saharan Africa into the world economy via value chains, so as to explain corresponding challenges and opportunities. The book deals with five issues that have not been covered adequately in scientific debates: first, policies are essential to promote value chains and increase their impact on development; second, value chains are diverse, and the variance between them has major economic and political implications; third, regional value chains appear to constitute a viable alternative to global ones (or, at least, are complementary to them), promising better developmental outcomes for the Global South; fourth, political and socio-economic factors are important considerations for a complete assessment of value chains; fifth, cities and city regions are also crucial objects of study in seeking to achieve a comprehensive assessment of value chains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global value chains (GVCs) are a key feature of the global economy in the 21st century. They show how international investment and trade create cross-border production networks that link countries, firms and workers around the globe. This Handbook describes how GVCs arise and vary across industries and countries, and how they have evolved over time in response to economic and political forces. With chapters written by leading interdisciplinary scholars, the Handbook unpacks the key concepts of GVC governance and upgrading, and explores policy implications for advanced and developing economies alike. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Arial}
Download or read book Ethnic Marketing written by Guilherme D. Pires and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together with the development of transformative technologies that epitomize globalization, the ongoing movements of people across borders and other socio-economic pressures are creating a fast-changing business environment that is difficult for business to understand, let alone control. Dominant social expectations that immigrants should seek to adopt an assimilationist socialization path towards the host country’s mainstream are contradicted by minority ethnic group resilience. There is no evidence that these groups naturally disappear within the cultural and behavioural contexts of their adopted countries. Since ethnic minority consumers cannot be expected to assimilate, then they maintain some significant degree of unique ethnicity related consumer characteristics that convert into threats and opportunities for business. The inherent socialisation process also provides opportunities for ethnic entrepreneurship and for proliferation of ethnic minority business. Following from the extensive examination of scholarly perspectives of ethnic marketing theory, there is an acknowledged and marked divide between theoretical exhortations and what is done in practice, a relative oversight of the implications of mixed embedded markets, and a propinquity to overlook the crucial role played by ethnic entrepreneurship and ethnic networks. Opportunity valuations are difficult to enact due to a lack of intelligence about ethnic markets. Variable sentiment about the future of ethnic marketing links to different predictions on how the drivers of globalization will impact on the acculturation paths of ethnic minorities. Keeping a focus on the ethnic group as the unit of analysis, combining ethnic marketing and ethnic entrepreneurship theories provides intelligence about contemporary ethnic marketing and practice perspectives. The ultimate objective is to reduce the theory-practice divide through the development of a collaborative framework between business and scholars that converts into theory-in-use.
