Growing economy boosts consumption and value growth
While rising economic confidence and an increase in remittances are boosting sales of staple foods, consumers remain highly cautious in their spending patterns. Stabilising prices are also benefiting sales but many are seeking bulk value packs or discounted products. There is growing interest in some value-added areas, however, with functional products performing well.
