Food processing

Article Abstract:

The pace of grocery store-brand private-label introductions has increased in the 1990s, but this is not a threat to the food industry as many of these companies are engaged in private-label manufacturing. However, in order to meet competition many food processing companies must increase spending for promotions or reduce prices. Few of these stocks are expected to outperform the market in 1998, but conservative investors will find several attractive.

Food processing

Article Abstract:

The larger food processing companies in the US have started seeking emerging overseas markets due to the market saturation at home, and many have become diverse in both geographic location and sales. The US dollar's movement in relation to other currencies has also had a major impact on the industry's foreign operations. There are very few timely stocks in the food processing industry, but investors may find some individual companies attractive.
