The 2007-2012 Outlook for Dried, Dehydrated, and Freeze-Dried Fruits and Vegetables in Greater China

This study covers the latent demand outlook for dried, dehydrated, and freeze-dried fruits and vegetables across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang - Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as “regions”). Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share the city is of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of “economic population”, as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger that the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the Western regions. For the coastal regions, cities which are close to other major cities or which represent, by themselves, a high percent of the regional population, actual city-level population is closer to the economic population (e.g. in Beijing). Based on this “economic” definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city’s marketing and distribution value vis-à-vis others. This exercise is quite useful for persons setting up distribution centers or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each region and city of influence, latent demand estimates are created for dried, dehydrated, and freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

The World Market for Dates: A 2007 Global Trade Perspective

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying dates? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of dates vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of dates? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing the regional markets for imported and exported dates. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the shares that countries are likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information for strategic planning purposes.

The World Market for Avocados, Guavas, Mangoes, and Mangosteens: A 2007 Global Trade Perspective

What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of avocados, guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens vary from one country to another?

The 2007 Import and Export Market for Fresh or Dried Oranges, Mandarins, Clementines, and Other Citrus Fruit in Peru

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on fresh or dried oranges, mandarins, clementines, and other citrus fruit in Peru face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying fresh or dried oranges, mandarins, clementines, and other citrus fruit to Peru? How important is Peru compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of fresh or dried oranges, mandarins, clementines, and other citrus fruit vary from one country of origin to another in Peru? On the supply side, Peru also exports fresh or dried oranges, mandarins, clementines, and other citrus fruit. Which countries receive the most exports from Peru? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for fresh or dried oranges, mandarins, clementines, and other citrus fruit in Peru. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for fresh or dried oranges, mandarins, clementines, and other citrus fruit for those countries serving Peru via exports, or supplying from Peru via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Peru fits into the world market for imported and exported fresh or dried oranges, mandarins, clementines, and other citrus fruit. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Peru in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Peru is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Peru compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes.
