Food processing
Article Abstract:
The food processing industry will face continued competition from private-label products and it will continue to seek cost reductions in the face of slumping markets in Europe and the US. Private-label product growth is expected to continue due to better margins for supermarkets and lower costs for the consumer. Some food processing companies will be able to compete if they employ measures that will support their brands. Cost reductions will include divesting non-core product lines. Most stocks in this industry have a very limited investment appreciation outlook.

Food processing
Article Abstract:
A greater variety and abundance of heat-and-serve and ready-to-eat packaged foods are available from the food processing industry as a result of the increased convenience trend. In addition, foodservice comprises at least 10% of the food industry's business and has become a core industry segment in the 1990s. Most stocks in this industry are not timely, although several have appeal for conservative investors on an individual basis.
