Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Opportunities for Western Food and Drink Brands in China" report to its offering.

“Opportunities for Western Food and Drink Brands in China”
In China, imports such as olive oil, chocolate, wine, coffee and cheese are mainly consumed by consumers who are fairly comfortably off, particularly middle-class families who value healthy and high quality food and have a strong preference for well-known and exclusive brands. Imported food and drinks are seen as a symbol of wealth and status. Although entry criteria to the Chinese food and drink market can be stringent for Western importers, many food, agricultural and import policies in China are designed to protect the quality and integrity of products. In many cases this favors the establishment of Western brands as it helps safeguard the unique product qualities and attributes. Choosing multiple but complementary strategies is crucial to increasing brand visibility and awareness among Chinese consumers, such as cooperation with Chinese distributors to target multiple sales channels, as well as through marketing programs.
