Legume Couscous into the main Dutch – Belgian organic channel

By denan,

It is under the brand name of this European chain of organic supermarkets that these 4 legume couscous will be marketed in the Benelux

In terms of innovative products, the MDD brings not only immediate notoriety, and therefore guaranteed sales; but the security of a long-term business partnership as well.

Moreover, a private label does not prohibit, but rather open the door, to the manufacturer own brand in a second time.

This is why no exclusivity should be granted in private label.

On the basis of many concrete and verifiable achievements, Denan & Associés proposes – as a first step – an export development strategy to the manufacturer.

French organic syrups are exported to Austria and the CEEC

By denan,

Austria counts 24% of its farming lands organic certified, ranks in Europe 5th per capita organic expenditures (196,00 € / year) and 4th in food consumption (8.6%)

It is a market that one would tend to treat, wrongly, in the shadow of his German big brother, whereas they are totally distinct and even tight with respect to each other.

The particular problematic French syrups

The European organic soft drinks market is dominated by fruit juices and me-too of conventional drinks. Syrups, an almost 100% French specificity rank separately and do not benefit of a strong spontaneous demand from the consumers. That is why small local producers are often enough to meet the demand. Yet they are the healthier, more economical and versatile organic beverage you can find.

Access to the market will be done rather by the food service and the craze for Cocktails Bar having opted for organic; Vs the specialized network

This is indeed the case in Austria where it is the Food Service sector that will open the door of this market.

In the meantime, a raw sea salt accredited by Nature & Progrès mixed with organic dehydrated spices and plants is organic-certifiable; this is the case of this range which found a distributor in the Belgium-Nederland-Luxemborg area (BENELUX); an ultra-dynamic market of nearly 30 million consumers who are keen on Bio.

Quand la GMS danoise aime la Bio de France, elle ne compte pas et les 520 NETTO passent commande par camion complet.

Smart positioning in international organic markets!

Since January 1st, 2018, the range of flavored salts of Ile de Ré is certified by ECOCERT. While the salt and the fleur de sel proper are the subject of an approval of NATURE & PROGRESS.

The Danish consumer is much more expert than the French one; he is very well informed about the origin, recipes and nutritional values ​​of his food.

In this market where competition is raging from all over the planet, the organic argument needs to be legitimized by a nutritional benefit understandable by each consumer. Namely a significant decrease in the daily salt intake.

Thus, a commonplace product, salt, conquers the market of the country where it makes the best living in the world (2017 ranking of The Social Progress Imperative by Michael E. Porter, Harvard and Scott Stern, MIT.)!

When the Danish supermarket likes, it does not count and the 500 NETTO have been able to order by truck.
