Food Business

Guru: Prof. Tommy Lopez; March 31
Registration fee: Php 880.00

The Philippine food industry offers a highly competitive environment both for the “big guys” and most especially to the new entrants. Because of its inherently wide range of products and services that it can offer to the market, notwithstanding the fierce competition that one has to contend with, DIFFERENTIATION and VALUE DELIVERY are the two key factors that an entrepreneur or an aspiring entrepreneur must highlight in every aspect of the business venture.

This learning session will teach you the importance of searching for new markets and making competition irrelevant in markets, especially in the food industry, that is rapidly becoming overly competitive. As an added bonus, a real life entrepreneur who went through all of these painstaking innovations specific to the food industry will be sharing to you how he drove his business empire to where it is right now.

 “Power is increasingly shifting down the distribution chain to those who own the customer. Unnecessary impediments in between producer and consumer will be eliminated, but this does not mean that stores will disappear. Rather, stores (or the entity that really touches the customer) will reach back into the manufacturer and dominate the entire distribution chain.”

This learning session seeks to provide you with a framework for managing and growing your distribution business.
