Increasing international growth and commitment to the environment and their employees are major strengths for the company. Growth opportunities are present in the organic market, which is projected to grow 9% (Scott-Thomas, 2012), and the smoothie market, which will see a potential growth of 1.6% through 2013 (Technomic, 2012).

Major competition from Odwalla and Naked Juice are threats to growth and the volatile market for fruit and other natural ingredients may cause unpredictable price increases and as well as an unpredictable future. Also, shifts in popularity of the trendy organic product movement may cause a decline in future revenues. However, both the smoothie and the organic/health food markets are growing rapidly and Clif Bar can secure a larger share in these markets with the introduction of Simply Clif.

Siegfried Gurshe, a pioneer of the Canadian health food industry, elaborates the need for more natural food, in its living state, in his article “Our Food Is Killing Us!”.

There are several factors that have influenced the many decisions that we make in terms of the things that we eat. The government, scientists, corporations, and globalization all have affected the price, content, as well as the choice of foods that we can buy at supermarkets. A lot of people don’t know that each one of those factors has aided in the creation of each effect. First, we will explore how globalization has directly impacted the price of the foods that we eat. Second, we will discuss the ways in which scientists and corporations have both played a role in the things that are put into our foods. Lastly, we will touch base on the ways in which the government has played a role in all of the effects but specifically how they have controlled the choice of foods that we buy. All of these factors are connected through certain laws and legislation but they all differ in their impacts on what we eat and the prices of those foods.
