New Market Study Published: Spain Food & Drink Report Q1 2014

LogoRecently released data from Eurostat showed that Spain's economy exited recession in Q313, supporting our long-held view that the economic recovery would begin picking-up in the second half of 2013. We have revised our forecast for the economy to grow by 0.7% in 2014, from 0.2% previously, against the backdrop of a steadily improving export outlook. Nevertheless, we caution that the recovery will be sluggish and undermined by fiscal austerity, weak fixed investment, and dire labour market conditions. This means more sluggish growth for the food and drink sector, while the lower end of the sector will continue to outperform the rest. In line with this, we believe that Dia is one of a select few Western Europe-based food retailers with good near-term growth prospects in the region.

New Market Study Published: Venezuela Agribusiness Report Q1 2014

LogoThe victory of Nicolas Maduro of the ruling Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela in April will most probably ensure the continuity of many of the interventionist policies of Chavez's era. Price fixing in particular continues to be a source of woe for producers unable to meet input costs which are soaring in line with some of the highest rates of inflation in the world. Some respite has arrived in the form of a 20% rise in the government-fixed price of food items including beef, chicken and dairy products, but even this will fall short of the rate of inflation which is expected to increase 30% year-on-year in 2013. Inflation is also contributing to the diminishing purchasing power of Venezuelan households, while foreign currency shortages after a pre-election spending boom are causing shortages of some imported goods.

New Market Research Report: Thailand Food & Drink Report Q1 2014

LogoWhile we continue to expect Thailand's economy and credit growth to remain on a cooling trajectory throughout the remainder of 2013, we expect private consumption to remain relatively, given the positive employment figures. Additionally, Thailand continues to boast exciting appeal to foreign investors, with its massive youth consumer base and the immature nature of its food and drink sectors remaining major draws to consumer goods players over the short and medium term.
