      Competitive Landscape Brief

      Demand is driven by food consumption, which depends on population growth. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations, because products are commodities subject to intense price competition. Companies compete largely based on cost and their ability to distribute the finished product. Large companies have advantages in purchasing and distribution. Small companies can compete effectively in local or regional markets. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $375,000. Imports of fruit and vegetable preserves and specialty foods account for about 10 percent of the market. Major sources of imports include Canada, China, Mexico, Thailand, and Brazil. Exports, mainly to Canada, Japan, and Mexico, account for less than 10 percent of US production.
