While the country scores high marks from the World Bank Doing Business Report in enforcing contracts, it ranks poorly in providing attractive conditions to start a business and protecting investors. When talking about functional food products it is noticed that they are much less common in China than in Western Europe and North America and the Chinese organic market is still in its infancy. However, although still timid, organic and functional foods are starting to be present in supermarkets and other caterings in China. Growing increasingly distrustful of local food sources, many people are turning to organics and/or imported food items, which are perceived to be safer. Lesser trends have also developed, including urban farming and dining out less frequently due to recent food scares.
Despite there being opportunity in China, we still don’t recommend Eurochoice to enter the Chinese market at the moment for a few reasons.
First of all, there is already a huge variety of different goods on the market. Secondly, local people prefer traditional medicine to the healthy import foods, and in the end, Chinese economy is unstable right now, and it is risky for an unknown company to launch a new product for a specific segment of consumers.

These factors represent the culture of the society in which the organization operates with in.

The demographic, economic and the socio-cultural segments would be the most relevant segments to Whole Foods Market. These segments have a direct impact on the profitability, sustainability and survivability of Whole Foods Market, and the organic food industry. The relevance of the demographic segment stems from the fact that the age structure, income distribution and population size are important factors which will influence the demand for organic products. The economic segment is relevant, as an affluent population will continue to drive and sustain demand for organic products.

Potatoes are an essential part of any person’s diet in today's society, they are cost efficient and can be used and stretched in many different ways to ensure consumers get the most 'bang for their buck.' Potatoes are an easily obtainable product now but it originated high in the Andes Mountains of South America. The Andes are ideal for potatoes because they flourish and grow in a cool environment with elevations exceeding 12,000 feet. The Inca of Peru were the first to cultivate the potato around 4,500 years ago; they often worshiped them and even buried them with their dead.

In the world we have witnessed crimes from the beginning of time up until present time and such crimes have often been the cause of fear overtaking those who are easily fearful. The fear that can overwrite a person’s mind can be found in the short story “Young Goodman Brown”, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this particular story, the author uses a relatively fair amount of allegory, imagery, and symbolism to bring the story to life and make us imagine the disturbed mentality of those who lived during the Salem Witchcraft Trials. To the stories like “Young Goodman Brown” are still being reviewed and criticized by those who study his work, including those that differ from the original view I had perceived from his piece of literature. Through evidence obtained throughout the course of the story, it will provide evidence that will give support to my original analysis as well as those who oppose my view and strike their argument on what their meaning of the story is.

Nowadays, people are more concern about the healthy lifestyles as well as the environmental sustainability. “If people believe that the food is healthier and they are doing something good for themselves, they are willing to invest a bit more, particularly as they get older” – as Hollie Shaw said. It can be seen that the market for organic and natural foods is a potential market: Organic foods and beverages were available in nearly every food category in 2014 and were available in over 90 percent of U.S. retail food stores (is used to be 75% in 2008).

I believe that organic foods cost more than conventional foods for many reasons. The number one reason that I have run into on many websites explained that the cost is higher because organic foods are much healthier. Organic foods do not add any hazardous products that could later be harmful to the human body, but conventional foods add those products. Another reason organic foods are more expensive would be because the farmers are limited to options. For example, as we all know farmers are very careful and need to keep pests, weeds and diseases away from the food. Normal farmers are allowed to use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, but not organic farmers. Organic farmers are usually stuck with the more expensive ways to get rid of those pests, weeds and diseases. Organic farmers also explain that the process also takes much longer when compared to conventional food process. Organic famers also do not make much of a profit because they make less money than conventional farmers. This is another reason organic foods are more expensive. Organic farmers make the prices higher because they are trying to make a slight profit as well. There are many reasons organic
