Organic Food and Beverages Market Analysis With Key Players, Applications, Trends And Forecasts To 2026 - TechnoWeekly

The "United States Cold Chain Logistics Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The cold chain logistics market of the United States is expected to show a growth of over 2% during the forecast period 2020-2025

The major imports and exports of the United States include nuclear reactors and boilers, pharmaceutical products, chemical products and food products like vegetables, fruits and meat that require the temperature-controlled environment to be transferred safely from one place to another.

The food and beverage industry alone contributes 5% to the country's GDP and the rise in the industry is proposed to drive a steady demand for refrigerated transportation. About 95% of new drugs that are coming in the market are developed and manufactured in the United States that require proper temperature-controlled logistics.

The presence of large beverage companies in the United States, given their immense dependence on the cold storage transportation facilities to deliver goods, is also one of the major factors that are expected to fuel the demand for refrigerated vehicles. The growth in the import and exports of these products is increasing the demand for refrigerated transportation.

Key Market Trends

Growing Organic Food Market

The demand for organic food in the country has been continuously increasing due to rapid urbanization and an increase in the adoption of a healthy dietary lifestyle. Diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, and obesity, and excessive contamination in conventional food are driving organic food sales. Organic fruits and vegetables are one of the largest and fastest-growing segments of the United States food market.

The Organic Trade Industry reported that in 2018, about 14% of all fruit and vegetable sales in the United States were categorized as organic leading to a total of USD 52.50 billion organic food sales in the country, 5.50% of all food sold in retail. The increasing demand and inculcation of these products in the retail stores, storage and transportation from the farmland to the shops and from shops to the customers require huge inputs from the cold chain logistics sector to facilitate its growth.

Increasing Multi-Temperature Trucking

Chilled or perishable food items, pharma products, nuclear reactors etc; all have multiple challenges in transportation, in response to which the cold chain management is increasing its complexity significantly. The refrigerated trucks that can hold goods in multiple segments at different temperatures are developed and are gaining popularity in recent years in the United States. These trucks are particularly used for the retail purpose, where temperature-controlled goods are in relatively small quantities from regional distribution centres.

Acknowledging the increasing vehicle population and global warming, the multi-temperature refrigerated trucks play a major role in the United States logistics market facilitating maximum utility with customisable and regulated temperature.

Competitive Landscape

The cold chain logistics market of the United States is highly fragmented aiding the domestic as well as international transportation of temperature-sensitive goods. It is undergoing developments with the introduction of solar-powered refrigerated units, multi-temperature trucks and freight optimisation software.

International and local players like FedEx, XPO Logistics, Total Quality Logistics, Americold Logistics and many such companies are operational in the market.

She earned a bachelor's degree in communications from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and a master's in media studies from Penn State.

She worked as a writer at Penn State, including with the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute. Shes a volunteer host at C-NET, Centre County's government-education access station.

For Ron Reese, a dairy farmer in western Centre County, a tour of the farm on a warm fall day includes a short history lesson.

After World War II, the family bought stalls for dairy cows from Sears and Roebuck, and started shipping whole milk.

In 1946, Sears and Roebuck was the Amazon of the world, Reese said.

The property where Reese and his wife, Jane, live is about 650 acres. That includes about 400 acres thats farmed, along with picturesque rolling hillsides and forested land.

As a farmer, Reese says climate change affects him only on the margins like more growing days in the summer.

I think climate change exists, he said. The real question is, what are the impacts and what should we do about it.

Reese, who has held local office and made political runs, thinks the country can adapt if it needs to.

Look at Holland. Theyve adapted and pushed the North Sea back so that they can have a whole society.

But in the meantime, he says, government should focus on cutting unneeded regulations and spending.

Climate change and weather patterns may not be the issues getting the most attention in this years election. But, for farmers, theyre always at the front. While politicians and political hopefuls say they want to listen to farmers and support them, their views on climate change vary.

Lucie Case is with Patchwork Farm and Greenhouse, an organic produce farm in Aaronsburg, Centre County. She was working at the stand at one of the regions farmers markets, selling everything from carrots to squash.

Like other farms, they dealt with a lack of rain this summer. Case said you cant blame a specific weather event on climate change but its part of the picture.

Lots of rain, this year no rain, weird winters, weird frosts, she said, describing what she and other farmers experience. Climate change has a big impact on farming, and some people dont always see that.

Theyre trying to do their part and make changes like having solar panels installed to cut the electric use in their greenhouses.

She thinks politicians should listen.

I think they need to go out to speak to farmers and producers and find out ways they can help ensure farming can continue, she said.

Juniata County and part of Centre County are in the sprawling 12th Congressional District. It stretches north to the New York border. Its next to the 15th, which covers much of northcentral Pennsylvania. South of them is the 13th district.

The Republican incumbents in those seats do have Democratic challengers in this years election. But the districts lean heavily Republican.

In the 15th, Republican incumbent Glenn Thompson is facing Democratic challenger Robert Williams. In the 12th, Republican incumbent Fred Keller is facing Democrat Lee Griffin. In the 13th, incumbent John Joyce is being challenged by Democrat Todd Rowley.

The three Democrats say the government should take action to address climate change, though their specific ideas vary. Griffin favors setting binding targets for controlling carbon emissions.

Thats the target and the measurable thing that we need to do is get our carbon down to neutral, he said. Ideally we could go negative.

Joyce did not respond to a request for an interview. Thompson and Keller both support what they call an all of the above energy strategy. That means, in part, they dont support policies designed to dramatically cut carbon emissions something scientists say has to happen to avoid the worst effects of climate change.

On the ag side, Thompson points to improving internet connectivity, which helps farmers make use of precision agriculture, and supporting research at Penn State and other land-grant institutions.

We need to continue to invest in the science as it comes to food supply and agriculture, he said.

Hannah Smith-Brubaker runs Village Acres Farm with her family in Juniata County. They primarily farm organic produce, along with some pasture livestock, sheep for fiber and laying hens for eggs.Shes also executive director of Pasa Sustainable Agriculture.

Smith-Brubaker says people may think just of heat when talking about climate change. But, variability and unpredictability are key.

Two summers ago we had just a deluge of rain, she said. We had 15 inches of rain in three days after we had just planted out our fall crops and lost them all. And then this year, we had a very long drought. So long that many of our crops that we typically would be able to harvest well into September were really done at the end of the August.

She said farmers are great stewards of the land and could help mitigate the effects of climate change.

We have some time to do things like sequester carbon through agriculture, but if our leadership isnt overtly listening to the science and talking in ways acknowledging our role in climate change, its pretty hard to get people who might be on the fence about that to really engage in a way thats going to help things shift, she said.

Taking concrete steps to help farmers succeed is also what Andy Bater would like to see from government. Bater is president of the Centre County Farm Bureau. He raises switchgrass for sustainable strawberry growers, and they have forestry projects to provide habitat for endangered birds.

He has a list of things government could support to help make farming sustainable economically and environmentally. He starts with precision agriculture including practices like targeted fertilizing.

That puts dollars in the farmers pocket, because hes not applying fertilizer where its not needed, but it also helps to minimize any environmental impact, because theres no way for that fertilizer to be wasted or washed away if its used by the plant, Bater says.

Soil health, broadband access and research on crops that are more resistant to extreme weather are other priorities.

Also on the list: Education on the difference between climate and weather.

Id love to try to depoliticize the climate discussions in general, Bater says. If we could get to a point where its handled at a bipartisan level or across the board, I think wed be better off.

The Indian arm of the world's largest food maker has outlined plans to invest in manufacturing.

NestlIndia, which is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, said it's to spend INR26bn (US$351.6m) over the next "three to four years" on projects that "augment our existing manufacturing capacities", as well as on the construction of a new factory in Gujarat. That move, whch will see Nestlbuild a plant to make Maggi products, was announced last year.

Approached for just-food for more detail on the plans and on the scale of the investment compared to previous periods, NestlIndia declined to comment, pointing to its status as a listed company.

The disclosure came as NestlIndia reported a 10.2% rise in third-quarter sales to INR35.25bn. The business pointed to "double-digit" growth for brands including Maggi noodles and KitKat chocolate.

NestlIndia said demand in the country's "out-of-home channel improved through the quarter but continues to be impacted by Covid".

Biofach trade show to go virtual

One of Europe's largest annual trade events focusing on organic food is to be held virtually in 2021.

Biofach, put together by Germany-based exhibition company NrnbergMesse and held alongside personal-care expo Vivaness, convenes every February and this year's show took place as usual before Covid-19 struck Europe.

"The numerous conversations and in-depth dialogue we have had in recent weeks and months have made one thing clear to us. Within the organic food and natural and organic cosmetics sector the desire for interaction, networking and knowledge transfer with experts, and to discover trends and innovations, remains huge and unabated, especially in these exceptional times, Petra Wolf, member of the NrnbergMesse management board, said.

"I very much regret that the physical trade fair cannot take place and stress that this decision was an extremely difficult one for all of us. However, before we all meet again on site in Nuremberg in 2022, the Biofach / Vivaness eSpecial will offer an ideal platform for professional dialogue in 2021."

The virtual event will take place between 17 and 19 February next year.

South Africa's Libstar eyes cost improvements

The South African FMCG group has started "cost rationalisation" projects across the business in a bid to make savings but, the company insisted, up capacity and improve service for customers.

The company said "several" initiatives were underway, including at its Lancewood dairy arm and at its Dickon Hall Foods unit, which co-manufactures for food majors including Nestl and Unilever.

"Several cost-rationalisation projects are underway throughout the Group, most notably within the Dickon Hall Foods, Lancewood and Libstar HPC [home and personal care] divisions. These projects are expected to start yielding meaningful benefits from H1 2021." Libstar said alongside the publication of a third-quarter financial update.

Approached by just-food for more detail, including on the possible impact on products and jobs, Libstar said the projects are "all aimed at the improvement of the group's operating efficiencies and service levels to customers".

It added: "At Lancewood, we have invested in hard-cheese packaging upgrades to improve manufacturing efficiencies and service levels. Cost-rationalisation efforts are underway at Dickon Hall Foods. These projects have been aimed at improving production efficiencies and volume throughputs."

In the nine months to 2 October, Libstar's revenue increased 6.2% after a 14.4% rise in its third quarter.

"Whilst the group has been able to protect gross profit margins, general and administrative expenses for the year ended 31 December 2020 are likely to remain significantly higher relative to the prior year," Libstar said, pointing to Covid-19-related expenses and the fact the company is lapping "a lower comparative base" in the shape of the fourth quarter of 2019.

Organic Foods and Beverages Market Globally Expected to Drive Growth through 2025 - TechnoWeekly

LONDON, Oct. 28, 2020 Whole Foods Market BB #:147784 customers are now able to purchase a range of fresh produce that has been grown by Infarm the worlds fastest growing urban farming network.

It marks the third major expansion into the UK retail space for Infarm as retailers seek ways to reduce the environmental footprint in their supply chain and develop their range of sustainable produce.

Infarm has installed two of its modular vertical farming units in two of Whole Foods Markets London outlets; High Street Kensington and Fulham, so shoppers can buy fresh produce grown directly in store. The remaining five London stores will be supplied with produce from a local Infarm growing centre in Tottenham, providing flexible supply as and when required.

The partnership between Infarm and Whole Foods Market aims to satisfy increasing consumer demand for sustainably grown products, helping customers to both make healthy choices and reduce their food waste.

The launch follows deals with Selfridges London and Marks & Spencer, as well as the online delivery service Farmdrop, and shows how a growing number of retailers are now taking action to create a more sustainable food system.

Daniel Kats, VP of Corporate Sales at Infarm said: Whole Foods Market felt like a perfect fit for Infarm. Its commitment to providing customers with vibrant, sustainable food aligns with our goal of growing produce locally and, in the process, substantially reducing food waste and the environmental impact of what we consume. We hope that in installing our modular farms in Kensington and Fulham, we can help to educate shoppers about the future of food.

Jade Hoai, Director of Purchasing and Operations at Whole Foods Market, said: We are excited to partner with Infarm to offer a truly hyper-local selection of greens and herbs across all of our London stores. Whole Foods Market customers can expect to find fresh, unique herbs from Infarms vertical growing units like Bordeaux purple basil, that are grown locally, have no pesticides, and use a fraction of the traditional resources required to grow. We are excited about this relationship for its joint commitment to environmental stewardship and for the delicious, nutritious meals our customers will be crafting at home.

Whole Foods Market shoppers will be able to purchase Infarms range of herbs, including Mountain Coriander, Flat Parsley, Basil, Mint, Dill and Thai Basil. Infarms range of fresh lettuce (Crystal, Caravel, Duo and Red Romaine) will also be available to buy. Whole Foods Market is also set to stock Nero di Toscana, Scarlet Kale, Sorrel and Red Stem Mizuna.

Infarm farmers visit the store after each growth cycle to add new seedlings to the farm. The plants retain their roots post-harvest to maintain exceptional flavour and freshness, meaning theyre still alive when harvested.

The expansion comes as retailers look to find innovative ways to combat climate change. Infarm units use 95% less water and 90% less transport than traditional agriculture, as well as 75% less fertiliser and no pesticides. Measuring just two square metres, Infarms in-store farms produce more than 8,000 plants per year, with the first harvest from Whole Foods Market Kensington due on 19 November.

Organic Quinoa Flour Market Expected To Witness The Highest Growth 2027 Dutch Quinoa Group, Big Oz Industries Limited, Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods,...

Exercise has been something of a godsend this year. With coronavirus restrictions having limited the places we can go and the people we can see, many turned to daily walks, home workouts and, more recently, to their recently reopened gymsto fill their time and channel their energy.

But now the clocks have gone back, meaning shorter days and darker evenings, and there is a definite chill in the air. For a lot of people, this seasonal transition very often marks a change in motivation, with warm cosy living rooms being far preferable to a rainy run or a venture out to the gym.

Many of us find that in the colder, wetter months, our motivation to do many things is negatively impacted, including exercise, explains fitness trainer Dr Folusha Oluwajana. But there are a variety of benefits to staying on top of your workout routine when the weather takes a turn, and a number of things you can do to keep yourself going as winter approaches.

Its pretty well-documented that cold weather and darker days can affect your mood. In fact, according to research conducted by The Weather Channel and YouGov, almost a third of people in the UK suffer from a degree of Seasonal Affective Disorder, which can cause low mood, poor sleep and problems concentrating, among other things. If youre feeling down, says Dr Oluwajana, getting up to work out may feel like a mental challenge.

In addition to the mental blocks you may experience as the seasons change, the colder weather also has an effect on our bodies. According to Dr Sarah Davies from Panacea Health, our muscles and tendons often tighten up in the cold, meaning that we are likely to feel joint pains more acutely as a result, which can be disincentivising to being physically active.

Its true that exercise outside is usually not as fun if its cold and raining, says Dr Oluwajana. But regardless, it does have some unique benefits, including helping you to fight off colds, as regular exercise contributes to a healthy immune system. Given that viruses like the common cold are more prevalent in winter, keeping up your exercise routine will help you increase your chances of combating and recovering from them when they hit during the colder months.

In addition to aiding your physical health, exercise during the winter also benefits your mental health. Working out gives you a rush of endorphins, which are neurochemicals that your body produces to minimise pain and maximise enjoyment. Dr Oluwajana explains that endorphins are also known as the happy hormone, and that they are great for giving you a natural lift when youre feeling low. Getting up and exercising in the winter could, therefore, be just the thing you need to stave off your seasonal low mood.

Its one thing to know that exercising in the colder weather is a good thing, and another to actually want to do it. Thankfully, though, there are things you can do to keep yourself motivated. Dr Oluwajana recommends adjusting your workout schedule to ensure you stick to it. She suggests, for example, rescheduling your run to lunchtime if you dont want to run during the dark mornings, or switching to home workouts if getting to the gym is unappealing.

Keeping warm should also be a top priority which Dr Oluwajana says comes with the added bonus that getting yourself some new, warm workout gear could help motivate you to exercise outside during winter. There are specific exercises you can do, too, that are particularly good at keeping your body temperature up. As Dr Davies explains, exercising the large muscle groups in the legs with squats, lunges and deadlifts will keep you warm during the winter months.
