The document discusses trends, challenges, and opportunities in the food processing and packaging industry. It provides statistics on the size and growth of the US food industry. Key trends include increasing demand for organic, healthy, ethnic, and locally-sourced foods. Challenges involve ensuring adequate water supply and wastewater treatment. The Valley region is well-positioned for food processing due to its existing industry base, skilled workforce, and central US location. Competition comes from other low-cost regions in the South and Southeast.

12. Food Processing: Organic
Organic means product grown in a chemical-free environment
78% of manufacturers label at least some products as natural
(Natural means that product has been made solely from botanical
resources without additives or preservatives)
Consumers increasingly favor foods that do not contain complicated
additives or preservatives
U.S. sales of organic food and beverages growth
1990 = $1 billion
2010 = $26.7 billion
Highest growth in 2010 were organic fruits and vegetables up 11.8% over 2009
Certified organic acreage in the U.S. reached more than 4.8 million
acres in 2008, according to latest data posted by USDA

14. Food Processing: Health
Trend continues for healthy diet and lifestyle growth; new products
include:
Whole grains
Antioxidants
Omega-3 fatty acids
Probiotics
Portion-sized snack foods are important for healthy diet
Value-added convenience foods also important
Greater demand for functionally defined foods. These products
target a certain condition or specific parts of the body, such as
foods to:
Boost the immune system
Aid eye, bone health, etc.

15. Food Processing: Ethnic
Its been said that all food is ethnic food
According to Mintel, there are a variety of outlets where consumers
are learning more about foods that arent common to their ethnic
background:
26% of ethnic food-lovers say they were introduced to the cuisine by
TV programs, newspapers or magazines featuring cuisine from other
countries
23% tried the items after reading cookbook recipes that included ethnic
dishes
18% said they grew to like ethnic fare after traveling abroad
25% were introduced to a new ethnic cuisine because of living in a

16. Food Processing: Local and Artisan
Swiftly becoming a lifestyle is a return to old world
shopping: visiting the butcher, baker, farmers markets
More locally raised meats and produce, farm shares and
communally supported agriculture (CSA)
Popular food network shows are highlighting the talent of
highly skilled and focused chefs, i.e., unusual ice cream
and popsicle flavors, specialty bacon, small batch
cheeses, gourmet junk foods, etc.

17. Food Processing: Packaging
Recent survey indicated that 72% of U.S. consumers are willing to
pay more for improved food and beverage packaging that
guarantees taste, freshness and safety
Advanced packaging includes:
Advanced films to prevent spoilage
Use of biodegradable and edible packaging materials
Active packaging interacts chemically with the food inside to
safeguard against product degradation from exposure to oxygen
or moisture
Benefit: you do not need to add preservatives to the food
Current uses include produce, bakery items, fresh pasta and meats

20. Food Processing: Water Quality
Physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water
Measure of water condition relative to requirements of
biotic species and/or any human need or purpose
Vital role to food manufacturing to ensure food quality
and efficient production
Should not produce smells or flavors that would affect
the final food product
Drinking water quality has a microbiological and a
physicochemical dimension
