Do consumers seek more than just sustenance from their food and drink? Recent insights from Bidfood reveal an interesting trend… Beyond eating for nourishment and satisfaction, UK consumers are increasingly seeking food and drink with potential health benefits. * These include food and drink that can help with: * ✅ Joint Health  ✅ Skin Health  ✅ Gut Health & Digestion ✅ Eye Health While certain foods may naturally contain vitamins that support one (or a few) of the above benefits, making those same nutrients more available to the everyday consumer through fortified staple foods, poses a great opportunity for brands.

Ingredients are taking the spotlight in top food and beverage trends for 2024 🔍. As consumers seek more benefits and value from the foods and beverages they buy, consumer packaged goods manufacturers and marketers are highlighting key ingredients. Food and beverage manufacturers also continue to emphasize health and wellness — focusing on prevention — but more recently they have zeroed in on specific concerns among consumers, including by age group. Different generations have different health concerns.

The main factor driving purchase is PRICE…indeed in all categories we can acknowledge the fact. However the benefits of avocado 🥑 totally fullfill the second factor driving consumption….how a portion of avocado 🥑 complies with nutrimental needs and makes this industry strong. The origin of the fruit due to our many avocado sourcing countries can domain certain market, makes economies of scale for each origin. However the mkt can help with that strategy as Mexico in North American countries, Peruvian or Spanish in Europe, New Zealand on Asia region. Globalization makes all markets possible so Mkt and prices can be a strength to consider. Organic certification is still developing due to the fact of price, fair and sustainable practices from all the supply chain. Organic consumption still remains as an opportunity however organic vs price is a mix complicated to handle for all consumers, so this niche is very informed about the composition in cost for organic avocado. Besides all the programs developed to deliver a organic product are still evolving and creating policies to ensure true organic produce for consumers in the supply chain… a lot of work to do in Organic! #avocadosfrommexico #avocados #aguacate

What we found out - breaking down consumer trends 🔍 Our LinkedIn poll last month uncovered some fascinating insights - all from you. When we asked what you think consumers consider the most important factor in buying avocados, most of you opted for cost. Maybe rising food prices are on your minds. This certainly was an important consideration in our survey of European consumers earlier this year, especially for 18% of respondents in the UK. Most consumers who took part in that European survey put taste and health & nutrition first. In fact, 97% of respondents said that maintaining a healthy diet is important. Luckily, in the avocado industry we work with a wonderful product - one that can keep customers satisfied by balancing the key factors of affordability, health and flavour. It’s up to us to stay alert to customer priorities and how they can be shaped by current trends. #ConsumerTrends #Avocado #AvocadoTrends

⚖️ The tension between convenience and health is at the heart of today’s food landscape. As consumers, we’re becoming more conscious of what we eat. But can we resist the allure of ultra-processed foods? And how can we empower individuals to make better choices without sacrificing convenience? 📖 Check out the latest article from FoodUnfolded which breaks down why these foods are designed to be irresistibly appealing – from the mix of taste, texture, and convenience to the psychological triggers they exploit https://lnkd.in/e28jmNsr. 🔎 Have a read of the EIT Food Consumer Observatory report which shows 65% of consumers think ultra-processed foods are unhealthy and 60% believe they are bad for the environment https://lnkd.in/eMwkAKnP I really enjoyed bringing the consumer angle to the table during EIT Food's workshop on UPFs which brought together organisations from across the sector to explore the potential of innovation and technology within this topic. Let’s keep the conversation going. #Nutrition #FoodScience #ConsumerTrends #HealthyEating #FoodDebate #UltraProcessedFoods #EITFood #ConsumerObservatory
