Comprised of 21 countries, Latin America is a land of enormously diverse peoples, climates and geographies. Yet across the region we find two commonalities — what people eat and their high trust in the food and beverage industry.
Explore the Food and Beverage trends in Latin America.

Food and Beverage Trends: The Fancy Food Show, 2017Hamutal Schieber
In June 2017 we visited New York’s “Fancy Food Show” in order to review the most interesting innovations in F&B first-hand, and help our clients find partners and discover opportunities.
This presentation features the trends we believe to be shaping the food & beverage industry, along with examples from the exhibition’s products and lectures, which in our opinion best express those trends.
TASTING COLORS & EXPLODING DRINKS: Future beverage trends from New York City ...sparks & honey
Beverages have always played a fundamental role in society, from the quintessential “social” tissue, to providing energy and nutrition, to offering plain and simple fun. There is a beverage for every occasion, need, ritual, and generation, and we continue to reimagine what we make, as well as why and how we make them.
Will future beverages be able t o elicit on-demand emotions? Will packaging be zero waste? Will beverages be liquid a t all? These are the questions that Makers in molecular mixology, biolabs, and food-tech startups are asking themselves today. Their answers will no doubt drive our future.
To better understand what’s ahead, sparks & hone y recently partnered with PepsiCo’s Creator team—a catalyst group on a mission to explore the edges of culture & co-create innovative experiences across the cultural landscape—and Toronto-based i&j to create a pop-up lab a t World Maker Faire in New York City. The lab was designed to learn from Makers through moderated discussions, surveys, and hands-on experimentation. This report offers five trends based on our experience with NYC Makers. There is no question that when it comes to the future, we turned to the right community to collaborate and imagine a new world of beverages.
Presentation given at the Food & Beverage Conference in Athens, November 2008. Based on insights research done in Greece, we present 10 topics to (make you) think about, with a focus on customer centric marketing and innovation.

Macro Trends from Expo West (April 2015)MBGenhance
“Natural” is becoming one of the most alluring terms for both consumers and marketers. As more people seek to lead healthier lives, they’re increasingly turning to toxin-free, natural products. Indeed, the market for natural products has surged in recent years and continues to grow: U.S. consumer sales of natural, organic and healthy products are forecast to grow 64% from $153 billion in 2013 to $252 billion in 2019, a rate nearly double that of mainstream consumer packaged goods, according to New Hope Natural Media, the organizer of Expo West.
This report is based on findings from Expo West, the world’s largest natural, organic and healthy products event. Expo West, which took place March 4-8 in Anaheim, California, brought together more than 71,000 industry members and over 2,700 exhibiting companies. With dozens of panels and hundreds of networking events, Expo West is ground zero for emerging trends and innovative products.

Running Head: BUSINESS PLAN
BUSINESS PLAN 6
The Choice of Business: Preserving the World through Fresh Foods
Argosy University
January 2, 2019
Business Plan: Preserving the World through Fresh Foods
The initiative is a business plan that is aimed at establishing greenhouses which will grow different vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, lettuces, garlic, brassicas, carrots and different types of herbs. Food security is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world is aiming to achieve. While food accessibility in the United States has not been a major issue, access to quality food has been remained to be an issue of concern among Americans (Rubatzky & Yamaguchi, 2012). Quality food is expensive and, therefore, not many people can afford it in the required amounts. The initiative aims at enhancing food security by the engaging in agribusiness hence developing crops that are safe for consumption at lower prices.
Vision, Core Beliefs and Culture
The vision of the initiative is to achieve food security in the United States of America by providing cheap quality vegetables for the entire American population. The mission of the initiative would, therefore, be to become a highly profitable company through the production of quality vegetables and making sales at affordable prices to all Americans. The first major core belief of the business would be accountability, which will involve taking responsibility for all the tasks associated with the company. Integrity is another significant core belief which will involve being committed to excellence, consistency, and honesty. Respect is another major core belief the company will uphold. Teamwork and transparency are also key to ensuring the company achieve its goals, mission, and vision.
Social Responsibility Commitment
The business aims at creating a culture of customer focus, whereby most decisions and activities will always focus on how they impact the customers. Customers’ needs will thus be a major priority in dictating the quality of products and also performing other important activities such as marketing, adverts, and channel for sales. The company will be socially committed to championing healthy food consumption, which is important in avoiding the possibility of various chronic diseases.
Comprehensive Venture Description
As stated previously, the venture will be an agribusiness company that aims at producing vegetables on a large scale. On a three-acre piece of land, the business aims at establishing greenhouses of different sizes and plant various vegetables that will be supplied in all the 50 states of the United States of America. The company will use some of the modern technologies in the establishment of greenhouses. Some crops will be grown while suspended and not necessarily having their .

2018 Edelman Trust Barometer: Attitudes Toward Energy in a Polarized World Edelman
Each year, Edelman provides a measure of Trust in the Energy industry and its key subsectors. While trust in the Energy industry writ large continues to rise globally, inherent challenges remain among the subsectors. Particularly notable this year is the precipitous drop in Trust in natural gas. Edelman also offers a summary of threats to Trust in the industry, from activism to literacy to apathy. Still, there is ample opportunity for this industry to tell its story and earn Trust.

Hamdard Laboratories (India), is a Unani pharmaceutical company in India (following the independence of India from Britain, "Hamdard" Unani branches were established in Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and Pakistan). It was established in 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in Delhi, and became
a waqf (non-profitable trust) in 1948. It is associated with Hamdard Foundation, a charitable educational trust.
Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
The goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him.
They had always maintained that working in old, traditional ways would not be entirely fruitful. A broader outlook was essential for a continued and meaningful existence. their effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place and thus they made an entry into an expansive world of discovery and research.
Hamdard Laboratories was founded in 1906 in Delhi by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and Ansarullah Tabani, a Unani practitioner. The name Hamdard means "companion in suffering" in Urdu language.(itself borrowed from Persian) Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed was born in Pilibhit City UP, India in 1883 to Sheikh Rahim Bakhsh. He is said to have learnt the complete Quran Sharif by heart. He also studied the origin of Urdu and Persian languages. Subsequently, he acquired the highest degree in the unani system of medicine.
Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed got in touch with Hakim Zamal Khan, who had a keen interest in herbs and was famous for identifying medicinal plants. Having consulted with his wife, Abdul Majeed set up a herbal shop at Hauz Qazi in Delhi in 1906 and started to produce herbal medicine there. In 1920 the small herbal shop turned into a full-fledged production house.
Hamdard Foundation was created in 1964 to disburse the profits of the company to promote the interests of the society. All the profits of the company go to the foundation.
After Abdul Majeed's death, his son Hakeem Abdul Hameed took over the administration of Hamdard Laboratories at the age of fourteen.
Even with humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him. Unfortunately, he passed away quite early but his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only kept the institution in existence but also expanded it. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed took on all responsibilities. After helping with his younger brother's upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Both brothers Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed

gives rise to many trends of Food and Beverages in
Latin America, shared in this paper by Edelman teams
in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.
Bon appétit!

3. Food & Beverage captivates hearts and minds. According to the
2017 Edelman Trust Barometer, this sector is among the most
trusted in the world:
§ While trust in institutions around the world sees a broad
decline, food and beverage continues to earn trust among both
the mass population and the Informed Public.
§ The Food & Beverage sector is more trusted than Business
across all markets. In Argentina, the difference is of 23 points
(68-45); in Brazil, 12 points (73-61); in Colombia, 15 points
(79-64) and in Mexico, 14 points (81-67).
§ The Food & Beverage sector is trusted across most markets
(Argentina – 68, Brazil – 73, Colombia – 79, Mexico – 81).
In comparison to 2016, trust in the sector rose one point in
Argentina, three points in Colombia and two points in Mexico
– and remained stable in Brazil.
§ While Food & Beverage enjoys a higher trust level than
business writ large, it is crucial to proactively seek to earn
more trust/protect trust – use it responsibly or risk losing it.

Less Sugar and
Junky Food
Since the sugar-sweetened beverage industry
penetrated the Mexican market, the country’s
core culture has changed dramatically. Today,
around 70% of Mexico’s adult population is
overweight or obese. Three years ago, Mexico
became one of the first countries in the world
to impose a tax on sugary drinks and junk food.
The 8% tax resulted in an average reduction of
5.1% in purchases of these items. Other Latin
American countries are also facing changes:
Argentina has created the Healthy Eating and
Obesity Prevention Program to promote
healthy eating habits among the general
population, for example. In Brazil, some
companies announced a new policy of not
selling sodas in schools for children under the
age of 12. In Colombia, sodas are restricted in
schools.
8. Organic Versus
GMOs
4
On one hand, while the number of consumers
and producers of organic products increases, on
the other hand, are people divided about the
benefits (e.g. durability or nutritional value)
and negative aspects (allergenic potential, gene
transfer and outcrossing) that involve GMOs.
Unlike in the United States, in Latin America ,
not many people seem to be really worried
about the negative impact; some companies are
not transparent about their use of GMOs.
Preferences aside, both continue to gain more
and more ground. In Argentina, healthy and
organic markets sponsored by the Buenos Aires
City Government are held on a regular basis.
São Paulo has just inaugurated its first 100%
organic market. Meanwhile, almost 100% of
the soy beans produced in Brazil and 80% of
yellow corn used in the Mexico, as a
commodity in other industries, are genetically
modified.
9. 5
Functional
Beverages
5
Managing stress, combating fatigue, losing
weight, and maintaining an eye on health.
These concerns are moving people to look for
foods and beverages with strong nutritional
profiles. Millennials in particular believe that
functional foods can replace some medications.
A surge in beverages replacing sodas, including
natural, organic, detox, and fresh-pressed
juices, flavored waters – a technique that
consists of adding fruits, vegetables, herbs and
seeds to the water, bringing flavor and aroma,
has been seen in Latin America in recent years.
In Brazil, kombucha and kefir are the newest
trend, and functional beverages can be found
even at Oktoberfest, the traditional beer
celebration.
10. 6
Gourmet Tea
Culture
The region has a strong coffee culture – most
latinos began to drink it during childhood.
Given the need for new options as well as a
focus on new health benefits, tea has started to
take hold among local consumers. New blends
means more creative mergers of tea with other
herbs, spices, and fruits. A considerable
increase has been observed in the consumption
of Matcha tea, which is now popularly
perceived as a natural remedy for nearly
anything (not to mention, it looks great on
Instagram). It is even consumed in other
preparations, such as tea-infused jams and
desserts, haute cuisine, and cocktails.
11. Wipe the Label
Clean
7
The growing need for authenticity and
transparency in the Food & Beverage sector
has sparked a slew of clean labeling efforts to
assure consumers that their food comes from
recognizable, trustworthy ingredients. The
pressure to minimize the use of artificial
ingredients, combined with increased
legislative regulation around labeling is placing
strong expectations on brands worldwide.
12. Social Issues
Drives Purchasing
More and more consumers, especially
millennials, consider social issues at the time of
purchase. According to the global study of
Edelman Earned Brand 2017, 51% believe
brands can do more to solve social ills than the
government. And among millennials, that
number is even bigger: 60% of them buy based
on shared beliefs. Sustainability, human rights,
and fair-trade rank high among these
audiences. Fair-trade certification focuses on
empowerment, moving away from forced labor
or poor working conditions. This allows
farming communities to make decisions about
the future of their crops through a democratic
process.

Horizonte (Brazil). This concept is a first in
Latin America and the main idea is to provide
cheaper fresh food produced inside the city.
Huerto Roma, in Mexico, allows visitors to
plant and grow their own fruit and vegetables.
With a keen eye for agriculture’s impact on the
environment, the diminishing amount of arable
land, and the population shifts to urban areas,

14. NGOs, companies, restaurants, chefs,
governments, and ordinary people fight against
food waste and hunger simultaneously. An
organization in Argentina is a great example:
Move for Hunger has created a program that
provides access to “social refrigerators” where
people can leave their leftovers for hungry
individuals. Through different projects in the
region, the food that would be discarded is
shared with those in need. Growing consumer
awareness and continued concern about how
food impacts the environment has moved the
food waste discussion firmly into the
mainstream, and now food and beverage
companies are feeling the pressure to engage on
the issue.
