Food industries
Abstract
The most recent issue contains "Food producers maintain expansion"
by Peter Zylstra. Food commodity processors are engaged in a multitude of manufacturing
activities. The aggregate performance of these is the subject of this article.
Common influences on all processing industries that make up the Food Industries
Major Group are examined, while specific ones that impact some and not others
are also discussed. Growth in food industries has always been a function of
population growth. In addition, health considerations and new product development
are important factors. The summary of recent developments is based on results
of the 1997 Annual Survey of Manufactures. Other sources are also used for industry
analysis as well as for the provision of industry environment and economic background.
