6大策略拚經濟 開發新市場 促銷台灣味

【2010-05-21/聯合報/A23版/兩岸】

外貿協會表示,台灣食品產業在國際具備很強的競爭優勢,貿協將採取六大策略協助廠商拓展商機,包括:協助食品廠商積極參與國際級展覽及拓銷團、舉辦台灣農產節促銷活動、積極洽邀國際買主來台、辦理食品論壇、加強業者包裝設計提升品牌形象、開發回教清真食品等。

貿協強調,今年一至四月,我國農產食品出口總值達十一億多美元,在全球景氣緩步回溫之際,相較去年同期成長百分之十四點八,其中我國食品最大出口巿場日本成長百分之十九、新加坡成長百分之廿八、馬來西亞成長百分之廿。

貿協指出,我國已與港、星、馬、印尼、美、加等地連鎖超市業者合作,辦理「台灣食品節」、「台灣水果節」等促銷活動,向當地消費市場推介台灣優質食品,並積極爭取當地媒體曝光率,讓更多消費者能有機會接觸到台灣食品。

另外,貿協除了鞏固傳統重點市場外,更積極開發新興市場,帶領廠商組團參加在日本東京、韓國首爾、香港、新加坡、馬來西亞吉隆坡、印尼、美國紐約、法國巴黎、中東杜拜等地舉辦之國際食品專業展,也籌組訪問團前往東南亞各地。

貿協強調,台灣產業的特性在於不斷創新與研發,過去台灣在農業改良技術聞名全世界,並應用農產原料製成各式加工食品,從過去台灣產製的鳳梨、蘆筍、洋菇罐頭稱霸全球,到毛豆、鰻魚成為出口日本及美國等國主力品項,不斷創新口味、改良製程與保存技術,也在產品包裝、認證等方面積極突破,產品朝向精緻化與多元化發展。

另外,台灣食品業者十分重視品質,不僅產品符合GMP、有機等嚴格檢驗標準,工廠通過ISO、HACCP等國際認證,讓消費者可以輕易地在全世界各地買到包裝精美、品質穩定的台灣食品。 

 

天仁總裁鮭魚返鄉 李瑞河:後年回台發行TDR

【2010-05-25/聯合報/AA1版/財經.教育】

天仁集團是台灣茶的代表品牌之一,曾經歷財務危機、在大陸從頭做起,如今,被稱為兩岸茶王的天仁、天福集團總裁李瑞河,在大陸多年後打算鮭魚返鄉,計畫明年在香港IPO後,後年回台發行TDR,76歲的李瑞河感性也激動的說:「我死也要死在台灣!」

「寧做清白的窮人」

天仁是台灣老字號的茶業品牌,也是早期上市公司,1990年,他曾因跨足不熟的證券業,結果股市崩盤,損失30億元,他拿出所有財產償還債務,因為「我寧可做清清白白的窮人!」

目前身家逾50億元

這段往事對李瑞河來說彷彿南柯一夢,現在的他站在兩岸茶界的頂端,建立起中國最大的茶葉集團,估計李瑞河目前的身家已超過台幣50億元。

目前天福在大陸有1031家分店,明年目標是開到3000家,並考慮開放加盟店,天福在福建、四川、浙江、雲南等省有九家茶葉及茶食品工廠、二家茶博物院,二個高速公路服務區,甚至還有全球第一所天福茶學院。

李瑞河說,李家從200年前就跟茶有了不解之緣,在福建漳浦原就是種茶的家族,之後移民到台灣南投,因為氣候與老家一模一樣,所以仍維持種茶的家業,直到父親已是第六代。

17歲起騎單車賣茶

當時剛光復,但台灣喝茶的人卻越來越少,他父親不得已,只好棄農從商,帶著只有17歲的李瑞河到高雄崗山賣茶,因為崗山有空軍基地,外省人多,李瑞河說,那時大家都認為「外省人十個有九個喝茶,台灣人一百個只有三個喝茶」,賣茶到外省人多的地方準沒錯。

在那個年代,沒有傳播媒體及廣告,李瑞河跟父親挨家挨戶賣茶葉來衝業績,他記得自己騎著一台破腳踏車,到了每個村口就先下車問雜貨店「這個村子誰喝茶?」再騎去對方家裡兜售。

小茶商變成大茶王

這些點滴辛苦沒有白費,他笑說之後賣茶生意越來越好,自己就從腳踏車一路換到了汽車,從小茶商變成了大茶王,到現在他的座右銘還是「成功是許多小優點的累積。」

1988年政府開放設立證券登記商,他也參與其中,成立天仁、天佑兩家證券公司,以及天裕投資公司,但後來台股狂瀉,他一夕之間賠掉30億,讓出名下所有的財產,辛苦經營到了59歲,結果卻輸得一敗塗地。

但李瑞河並不服輸,仍努力到各地考察,尋找東山再起的機會,走遍了新、馬、泰、菲,終於決定落腳在大陸,看上13億人口的大市場,成為第一批進軍大陸的台商。也因為他寧願賠財產也要把債還清,朋友湊錢借給他五千萬,成了他的翻身金。

大陸經商也曾被騙

當時大陸的環境比現在封閉許多,經商更為困頓,難免也有被騙的時候。他說,大陸有句諺語「中國有個安西縣,大人小人都會騙」,大陸多得是說得天花亂墜的人,連他這個商場老手都難免上當,儘管如此,他憑著對茶的經驗,在大陸複製了高檔的台灣茶文化,2000年他回台買回了天仁茶葉的股權,現在是持股超過三成五的大股東。

現在他最期待的是鮭魚返鄉,回台發行TDR。他說,即使在大陸賣茶,他從未忘本,76歲高齡的他,前年在總統馬英九倡導台商回台時,就主動表示想回來上市,就是為了根留台灣,他說:「我祖厝都蓋好了,死也要死在台灣。」兩岸茶王,還是想念台灣家鄉。

 

 杭州生產基地下季量產 三年內設500銷售點 養鱉大王加捷 揮軍大陸生技

【2010-05-26/經濟日報/C6版/上市櫃公司3】

台灣養鱉大王轉型成為生技公司。占台灣甲魚精消費市場九成的加捷科技(4109),正準備大舉揮軍大陸健康食品市場。所打造的首座杭州生產基地剛進入試車階段,預計第三季可以量產及上市。加捷總經理鍾祥鳳昨(25)日表示,未來也將以華東市場為主,以直營旗艦店結合加盟作法,擴展通路,二、三年內成立500個銷售據點。

據了解,昨日大盤下殺兩百多點,但加捷股價則逆勢上漲0.65元,收盤價22.7元,成交量近800張。

據了解,此項被加捷視為營運重要轉折的計劃,考量首要成敗關鍵在於鱉魚原料取得,鍾祥鳳於前年陸續赴大陸各地考察後,選定被中國農業部評定為優良中華鱉養殖場的杭州龔老漢生技做為合作對象。

鍾祥鳳指出,整個合作模式是由對方提供鱉魚,再交由雙方合資成立的杭州兆龍水產品科技公司生產甲魚粉、精。歷經近一年建廠,斥資約250萬美元的第一期廠房、設備等剛於上個月就定位,本月開始已進行試車作業。

該新廠甲魚粉年產能規模3.2萬公斤,是台灣產能的三倍大;目前並向對岸相關單位申請食品認證,預計第三季可望量產、上市。

他說,單以現行甲魚粉每公斤新台幣6,000元來看,依該廠產能即有近2億元產值,而若加工為甲魚精等產品,產值將放大至五倍、十倍。

鍾祥鳳並說,基於地緣便利,正把視線對準上海、杭州、蘇州、昆山及蕭山等長三角區域城市,計劃以加捷在台灣已成立100多家的「百分之0.02冷取健康生活館」為品牌設立直營旗艦店。

而考量產品種類多元化,現在並已找到台灣一些志同道合、欲打開大陸通路的廠商如有機咖啡、黑麥茶及無毒蔬菜等合作,一起前往設點,初期目標將成立50個旗艦店。

至於每一個旗艦店營運半年後,進一步透過加盟方式,在週邊開設八至九家銷售服務中心串連起來,以此作法希望能在未來兩、三年內,佈署500個銷售據點。

 

農林攜手光明 跨足精品暢貨

合資10億在苗栗三義打造3萬坪中心,明年底開幕,每年營收估50億;光明可望入股農林8%。

【2010-05-26/經濟日報/A15版/兩岸企業】

台灣農林擬與上海光明食品集團合作跨足精品暢貨中心(outlet),在苗栗三義投資新台幣10億元,打造3萬坪精品暢貨中心,預估明年底開幕,未來每年可望創造營收約新台幣50億元。

農林董事長林金燕表示,農林在中山高三義交流道附近有26公頃土地,其中4萬坪土地將拿來興建精品暢貨中心,近期已經整地完成,正在申請建照,預計下半年動工,明年底可望投入營運,初估未來每年可望挹注營收約50億元,保守估計獲利約2億元。

林金燕透露,今年6月股東會將提案發行私募5,000萬股,股東會通過後,在政府核准下,將邀請光明集團全數認購入股,光明集團可望持有農林8%股權,未來雙方合作內容除了精品暢貨中心外,還將擴及茶葉及蘭花採購等。

日前光明集團董事長王宗南來台就曾考察過農林在三義的暢貨中心預定地,王宗南在擔任上海百聯集團總裁時,就曾經打造上海最大的精品暢貨中心─上海奧特萊斯品牌直銷廣場(SHANGHAI OUTLETS),王宗南在參觀三義後,也表達與農林的合作意願。

據了解,上海奧特萊斯品牌直銷廣場在王宗南任內完成,由百聯集團與香港九龍倉集團合作打造,在2006年開幕,地點在上海青埔區,距離上海市中心約26公里,由23棟共200間商舖組成,總建築面積約11萬平方公尺(約3.3萬坪)。

林金燕強調,看好王宗南打造暢貨中心的經驗,日前已經與光明集團就業務合作及入股事宜簽定合作備忘錄,目前陸資入股仍有一定法令限制,預期未來隨著兩岸簽定經濟合作架構協議(ECFA ),與光明集團合作將更順利。

依農林計畫,三義精品暢貨中心占地約3萬坪,第一期規劃面積約7,000坪至1萬坪,預計明年底開張,未來隨著人潮湧現,再擴建旅館或茶藝博物館,農林在三義土地多達數十公頃,未來不排除興建別墅級「農舍」,連同土地一同販售,獲利挹注將更為驚人。

 

 

 

New Zealand ad body launches children’s advertising code

  • §  May 24, 2010 source: just-food

New Zealand’s Advertising Standards Authority, a body that promotes “self-regulation” in advertising, has unveiled a set of guidelines after a year-long review.

The 26-page Children’s Code for Advertising Food lists a series of guidelines to which food makers must adhere, including that ads should not encourage children to consume in excess, and that ads should not “undermine” New Zealand government guidelines on food and nutrition for kids.

The advertising code also stipulates that “persons or characters well-known to children” should not be used to endorse food high in fat, salt and sugar.

The advertising watchdog admitted that, during consultation for the new code, some stakeholders made “serious and sincere concerns” about the “volume, timing and placement” of ads.

However, the watchdog said existing guidelines brought in by broadcasters in New Zealand had brought in “a number of limits” on advertising played during children’s programmes.

It said the broadcasters’ guidelines also included a “Children’s Food” rating that “restricted” products high in fat, salt or sugar being advertised around children’s progammes.

The code stated: “The panel considers that the introduction of the new Children’s Code for Advertising Food, which will impact on the overall content of advertising that influences children is the best way to address these concerns at this time.”

During the review, various groups questioned the effectiveness of industry self-regulation, which is not binding and which they suggested cannot effectively punish breaches.

 

Global market review: online grocery retailing

  • §  May 26, 2010  source: just-food

Online and internet shopping represents one of the fast growing sectors within the global food and grocery market at present, especially across the more developed parts of the world. With household internet access continuing to increase, the customer base for online grocery shopping is widening, while other technological innovations such as the advent of smart phones is further benefiting the market.

The global online grocery retailing market is dominated by the UK and the US, which together accounted for almost 75% of the world total in 2009. At less than 1.5%, however, online and internet channels still account for a very modest share of the global retail grocery market. Furthermore, food and groceries continue to lag well behind non-food items as far as the online retailing market is concerned, with consumers using the internet most frequently for booking travel and holidays, as well as for financial-related tasks such as banking.

The global market for online grocery retailing remains at a relatively early stage of development in many parts of the world. To date, sales of food and drinks over the internet have yet to make the same impact observed in other parts of the consumer goods industry, most notably books, clothing and electronic items such as computer equipment.

Global sales of food and drinks online were valued at US$19.9bn in 2009. This figure is limited to countries where a quantifiable market exists, all of which are mainly located in either Western Europe or North America. A truly global figure is thought to lie somewhere between US$20bn and US$30bn.

A number of major trends are shaping the development of the global online grocery retailing market. From a retail standpoint, the economic recession has altered ways in which people shop for groceries, while ongoing technological developments continue to affect the strategy of many leading operators within the e-commerce sector (eg: Tesco’s iPhone wine app, which provides product information such as price and tasting notes).

Although penetration levels have widened during the last decade, making purchases over the internet is still heaviest among society’s more affluent consumers, since a computer and modem are required to carry out the transaction, as well as either a debit or credit card. It is mainly for this reason that online grocery shopping tends to increase with social grade.

The supply structure for the online grocery retailing market differs throughout the world according to region. In the UK and Europe, the leading suppliers are the major food retail groups, whose profile and brands are already familiar to shoppers. As far as the major supermarket groups are concerned, online and internet shopping enables them to gain easy access to their customers, offering a wide range of items (both food and non-food) that shoppers might not have time to peruse in store.

As the next decade progresses, countries such as the UK, the US and some of the Western European nations are expected to retain their dominance of the global online grocery retailing market. Nevertheless, increasing household penetration of both internet and broadband throughout many parts of the world are expected to increase the consumer base and therefore make grocery shopping via the internet a more common practice for the global population.
