Australian Mango Exports

“Where is the Mango Princess”, written by Cathy Crimmins, is the journey through her husband’s, Alan’s, brain injury. Alan was hit on the head by a speedboat, and from which, he suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Eventually, awakening from his coma, his recovery took his wife and child on a roller coaster ride of emotions. This story explores the heartbreaking and frustrating experiences of a caregiver to a patient recovering from TBI. Crimmins uses slight humor and honesty to welcome the reader into the chaotic life of caring for her husband. This book has darker themes like most, so it is important that the atmosphere is kept light and airy through humorous attempts. It is the most admirable trait that Crimmins has, in my opinion. I’m not fond of reading, so the humor kept me occupied; I really enjoyed the humorous aspects of this story. This book also focuses on educating the beholder about TBI and the effects of severe brain damage. Though Alan had recovered physically from the accident, his mental recovery was still an on-going process in which rehab was required. She went on to describe the accident as: “One day, you and your family are hiking across a long, solid plain, when out of the sky comes a blazing meteor that just happens to hit one family member on the head. The meteor creates a huge rift in the landscape, dragging the unlucky one down to the bottom of the crevice it has made. You spend the next year on a rescue mission, helping him climb to the top,

The Brazilian acai berry has been a food staple for low income families for years and a cultural symbol for generations. This berry is vital in Brazil, where it is farmed and, until recently had a relatively small market. However, after an Oprah interview the demand for acai has become an international affair. The rising demand has created a free market; however the once inexpensive food staple has become too expensive for the low income families. This report will analyse the current markets advantages and disadvantages, followed by two possible government intervention models. The examined interventions will be export tariff and price ceiling.

As well as importing goods, Australia also exports massive amounts of iron ore, coal and gold. Australia exports $54.4 billion AUD worth of iron to other countries.

The results show that some imports of stone and pone fruits from other countries are competitive to the local fruit growers (RMCG 2013). Furthermore, the high dependency on Asia market drives the Goulburn Valley to improve export competitiveness and more flexible to the market changes (RMCG 2013). It also shows that fruits imports exceeded the fruit export from 2009 to 2012 (Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry 2013). Thus, it is necessary for the Goulburn Valley fruit growers to maintain their universal competitive

Farmers have to consider the food quality checks. Farmers are aware of that if fruits or vegetables are not in a perfect shape supermarkets are not going to buy them, so farmers just throw away imperfect fruits and vegetables. Royte who is a nature writer, in her article “Eat Ugly!” she explained, “A lot of food sellers think no one will buy freaky-looking food. So they toss it before trying to sell it. Each year, 1.3 billion metric tons of food gets wasted in this way” (Royte). According to Richard Schiffman gave a solution for this problem in his article “What a Waste!” by giving the example of “Andronico's Community Markets in California” who sell imperfect looking fruits and vegetables to a very low price (Schiffman). This will help Famers and they don’t need to throw away the ugly looking products. The other reason food being wasted in fields by farmers is that they have to make sure that they have a steady supply of products for supermarkets (Matt and Peek). They purposed a solution for this problem, “With better food labeling—for example, using a spoils-on date rather than a sell-by date markets could keep their stock longer and ease demand on farmers” (Matt and Peek). The government should bring stricter policies to decrease food waste in fields and supermarkets can play an important role to reduce food waste

This analysis was conducted to investigate various aspects that relate to M&M candies, their production, and quality control. Among the various factors considered, many items have been included such as sample means, critical values, color proportions, standard deviations, and confidence intervals. It is important for any organization to maintain quality control standards in production; especially such an iconic brand as M&Ms (Shu-pei, 2006). Some brands, through ubiquity and repetition, can transform emergent culture into dominant norms (Holt, 2006). M&M has achieved such a status in popular culture and this investigation is intended to provide insights into the production results that have allowed Masterfoods to achieve such a ubiquitous market position.

To differentiate the brand from competition, labels and packaging would be used. Moreover, all visual communication tools and promotional items featuring the brand logo and

Woolworths has capitalized on the idea of becoming ‘the fresh food people’. They have implemented various different ways to approach the customers by informing them of healthy food choices, as well as fresh food facts. They have created a website that informs them of how and where their produces are made. They create commercials of ‘Fresh Market Update’, which summarizes which fruits and vegetables are in season. Their magazines, the Fresh magazine and Australian Good Taste, are a monthly magazine that shows healthy recipes to recreate. This marketing push on their slogan reassures the customers that their choice in retailer to buy from is the healthiest choice.

In America, 1 in 5 fruits and vegetables grown don't fit grocery stores' strict cosmetic standards the twisted carrot, the crooked cucumber, the imperfect apple usually causing them to go to waste. What most consider “ugly produce” is perfectly fresh, nutritious, and is delicious as any other. Fortunately, there is hope for ugly produce; recently some grocery chains have concluded there is a market for those not so perfect fruits and vegetables, and marketing this “unique” produce helps both growers and consumers.

Trade Barriers: High tariffs are still maintained on exported products that compete with domestic industries in China (Office of United States Trade Reprehensive) . China’s tax regulations are into conformance with international standards (Parliament of Australia Senate) . Therefore at present, cut flower exports to China carry a 70 percent import tax, including cost of transport, plus a value-added tax of 17 percent (Richard Tomlinson, 1995) .

Fyffes procures its products worldwide and is one of the leading distributors of southern hemisphere fresh produce in Europe, in particular fresh produce sourced from South Africa and South America. The most common themes arising from the top managers so far involved the need to foster relationships among the SBUs and work with each other to reduce costs (Geoff Percival, 2012). It is critical for the relationship between the suppliers (Other region markets) and the distributors (UK, Ireland and EU).

The synergy management of the four SBUs also helps Fyffes add more value to the supply chain and make the delivery more efficient.
