The Impact

In this paper the performance of the food and beverage industry in six regions of Canada between 1961 and 1984 is examined. The impact of spatial variations in commodity prices and techniques of production on the rate of profit are separated. Significant regional disparities in both production and market performance exist within the food sector and lend little support to the industry-mix thesis. Price variations are the principal cause of regional differences in manufacturing profitability. The rate of profit in the food industry declined in all regions, though at a slower rate than in manufacturing as a whole.

Insight Into

Plastics are used for various applications, including in the food and beverage industry, for the manufacturing of plastic utensils and straws. The higher utilization of plastic straws has indirectly resulted in the significant disposal of plastic waste, which has become a serious environmental issue. Alternatively, bio-plastic and paper straws have been introduced to reduce plastic waste. However, limited studies are available on the environmental assessment of drinking straws. Life cycle assessment (LCA) studies for bio-plastic and paper straws have not been comprehensively performed previously. Therefore, the impact of both bio-plastic and paper straws on the environment are quantified and compared in this study. Parameters, such as the global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential (AP) and eutrophication potential (EP), were evaluated. The input–output data of the bio-plastic and paper straws processes from a gate-to-grave analysis were obtained from the literature and generated using the SuperPro Designer V9 process simulator. The results show that bio-plastic straws, which are also known as polylactic acid (PLA) straws, had reduced environmental impacts compared to paper straws. The outcomes of this work provide an insight into the application of bio-plastic and paper straws in effectively reducing the impact on the environment and in promoting sustainability, especially from the perspective of Malaysia.

<p>A survey of 102 small to medium sized food processors and manufactures in DKI, West Jawa and Banten province, Indonesia  has been conducted for to know the quality assurance (QA) program. The survey was carried out with method to identify and to distribute a questionnaire and also to interview to small and medium scale food industry respondents selected that develope the QA program. The results of the study reveals that the main reasons for implementing one or more quality assurance (QA) programs in the food business were satisfy/meet customers requirements, to seek the highest standard of quality and food safety, provide cotinous quality control and maintenance, reduce legal liability, improve the business structure, facilitatenew market entry and/or to expand market size and sales.  Conversely, the main reasons for not implementing one or more QA programs were :  the cost of QA implementation and maintenance of QA programs to high, there was no need or no legal requirement to implement QA, the businees was too small.  There was insufficient time, a lack of information or lack of resources. The failure to implement QA systems has the potential to exclude small and medium sized food processors and manufactures from many domestic and international markets.</p>

The Impact

This study seeks to investigate the impact of capital structure on the performance of organizational performance with particular reference to Nigerian Food and Beverage Companies. Secondary data was used for this study. It was adopted from the audited financial statements of the listed food and beverages companies in the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), for the period of the year 2014 – 2018. The method of analysis used was Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient and Linear Regressions. The results reveal that firm leverage, tangibility of assets and liquidity have an inverse relationship with the financial performance of the Nigerian food and beverage industry, while, growth and firm’s size have a positive relationship with the financial performance of Nigerian food and beverages industry.  The study, recommends that Nigerian Food and Beverage should, therefore, strike a balance between their choice of capital structure and the effect on its performance as it affects the shareholder's risks.

This study wants to develop the cluster-based food and beverage industry value chain that corresponds to the potential in the regions in Java Economic Corridor. Targeted research: a description of SME development strategies that have been implemented, composed, and can be applied to an SME cluster development strategy of food and beverage, as well as a proven implementation strategy of SME cluster development of food and beverage. To achieve these objectives, implemented descriptive methods, techniques of data collection through surveys, analysis desk, and the FGD. The data will be analyzed with descriptive statistics. Results of study on PT KML and 46 units of food and drink SMEs in Malang shows that the condition of the SME food-beverage cluster is: not formal, and still as the center. As for the condition of the existence of information technology: the majority of SMEs do not have the PC and only 11% who have it, of which only 23% have a PC that has an internet connection, as well as PC ownership is mostly just used for administration, with WORD and EXCEL programs, and only 4% (1 unit SMEs) who use the internet marketing media.

The rate of profit and the causes of changes in the rate of profit in the Canadian food and beverage industry, for the years 1952–1981, are examined in this paper. Until the mid-1960s, the rate of profit was stable or rising, but since then it has fallen. In the first half of the period under consideration, the market strength of the food and beverage industry offset the negative effects of changes within the industry; in the second half of the period, however, the food and beverage industry has suffered as its price per unit of value of output has fallen (but changes within the industry have been negligible). Within the industry the following changes have occurred: turnover times have fallen; the value of labour power (and so the rate of exploitation) has been virtually constant; the technical composition of capital has risen, but only slowly since 1965; until 1965, the main contribution to the rising technical composition of capital has been an increase in fixed capital per worker (and so of the quantity of materials processed per hour); since 1965, the technical composition of capital has changed only in response to changes in turnover times and in capacity utilisation rates. The general picture, then, is of an industry in which technical change has slowed dramatically and changed its form since the mid-1960s; the interaction of this effect and of the changing market strength of the industry accounts for the history of the rate of profit in the Canadian food and beverage industry.

In the future, the food and beverage industry is very promising for industry players due to the trend growth of the food and beverage industry in Indonesia. The food and beverage business is starting to grow rapidly in Indonesia so that it attracts many people to innovate. One form of innovation is the frozen food industry. This study aims to determine the effect of product innovation on repurchase interest by looking at consumer satisfaction as a mediating effect on the frozen food industry. The population in this study were 147 people who were frozen food consumers. Sei. By using a purposive sampling approach and using the Slovin formula, it was determined that the number of samples in this study were 108 respondents. The results of this study indicate that product innovation has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. Product innovation and customer satisfaction have a significant effect on repurchase interest. Consumer satisfaction can mediate the effect of product innovation on consumer repurchase interest. Keywords: Product Innovation; Consumer Satisfaction; Repurchase Interest; Mediation; frozen food.
