Industry Drivers

Organics is the fastest growing sector in the North American food industry. There are several factors driving the trend towards consumption of organic food. They go beyond the stereotypical ones of environmentalism and a holistic lifestyle to include the increased interest in healthy eating, indulging in food experimentation, increased interest in food traceabilility, aversion to pesticides, antibiotics and other chemicals, an overall return to basics, and the 2003 introduction of the National Organic Program in the US.

A March 2003 US ACNielson survey in Gourmet Retailer magazine asked for "the reasons consumers purchase organic products". Answers were as follows:

  • 32% believe organic is healthier
     
  • 18% think they contain no pesticides
     
  • 11% cite better quality
     
  • 3% consider no GMO as a benefit
     
  • 3% to prevent allergic reactions.

Marketing and Sales Strategy

IFPG has evolved into an international importer and US representative for domestic and international select food products. The continuous consumer shift towards a healthier and more wholesome alternative, has consolidated IFPG's niche position in the organic, frozen and dried fine fruits, and specialty beverages.
 

The market for premium coffee is growing dramatically with coffee being the fifth most widely traded commodity in the world. The margins available in the premium coffee industry, along with increased sophistication in tastes, has generated a demand for a high value product that offers consumers a superior quality coffee at reasonable price points. The benefits of the Juan Valdez® logo, which is licensed to be used on their whole bean and ground roast coffee, is a significant endorsement for the Golden Choice Food® coffee line, as research indicates that the vast majority of coffee drinkers recognize and associate the logo with superior quality and taste.
 

Management has made a concerted effort to acquire new products and refresh the company's marketing strategies that will greatly expand the lines that IFPG offers. These decisions have positioned them in several of the major retail categories - coffee, as well as frozen vegetables and frozen fruits, both organic and non-organic.
