COMMENT

 

The subject carries premium products which are well known in the leading supermarket such as ILLY coffee,  DECECCO  pasta  and  tomato  sauces  as  well  as the lists of wine and liquor.  However, the subject has tough competition as more importers of international leading brands of food products have been portioning the subject’s share in the market.

 

This year consumption of premium foods and beverages from local consumers would slightly affect from the slow  consumption  caused by  economic  slowdown,   due to sentiment and confidence declines, but on the tourists side would have bad  effect to an overall foods traders,  as number of tourist will be halted from the area which could be accounted nearly 40% of the tourists visiting the country.  

 

With the strong market position and well known products, it  is  believed  that  the  subject would  able to  maintain  its sales at a certain level.
