Pasta is expected to post a CAGR of 3% in constant value over the next five years. Changes in lifestyle and smaller family sizes are expected to lead to pasta becoming increasingly popular with younger customers who seek convenience Pasta in Morocco is set to continue to grow in 2014, increasing by 2% in retail volume and 7% in retail value terms. Pasta prices range from Dh 9.95 to Dh 21.00 per 500 g packs with local brands, such as Dari and Tria, being the most affordable. Customers, especially those buying from supermarkets and hypermarkets, generally look for low-cost packaged pasta. 11 | pastaria international 4/2014 Pasta in Morocco. Historic Retail Value RSP-US$ (current prices - fixed 2013 exchange rates) source: Euromonitor International Pasta is a growing category in the country due to its low prices and multiple uses in the Moroccan diet. Moroccans are still traditional in their eating habits, preferring the traditional vegetable and meat/fish dishes (Tagines), however due to changing lifestyle habits and urbanisation, they are increasingly looking for convenience for their meals. Pasta is hence a quicker solution than the traditional Tagine, which is time consuming. Pasta is expected to post a CAGR of 3% in constant value over the next five years. Changes in lifestyle and smaller family sizes are expected to lead to pasta becoming increasingly popular with younger customers who seek convenience. The increasing availability of cooked pasta sauces at affordable prices is also supporting this growth. Pasta prices are expected to decrease as well by 2017 by around -0.4% y-o-y in constant terms which will again help to boost sales for pasta. Sure, we like to go crazy, laugh and party. But there is one thing that we never joke about: good food.

Getting together to share ideas. Fall marks the beginning of the most intense season for trade fairs. Storci will kick off with Agroprodmash to be held in Moscow (6-8 October) where it will present its complete line of technologies to produce dried and fresh pasta, ready-to-serve foods and couscous. Also in October (28-31), it will be on home turf at CibusTec. The 2014 fair is of special interest to Storci because of the strategic agreement between CibusTec, Food Pack and Anuga FoodTec to create an international network with the goal of providing export support to suppliers of food sector technologies. The project makes available an international trade fair platform that offers companies unique business opportunities with both current and potential customers: vertical expositional solutions dedicated to tech- nology-related investment in this sector.

It will be present here under the brand of the Storci-BS company network and it will have an attractive stand ready to welcome visitors interested in the world of pasta, couscous and ready-to-serve foods. Parma—known as the Food Valley and an area with an established tradition in technologies for the production of pas- ta, from the time of Braibanti to the present day—provides “full immersion” into the world of pasta-making, and for this trade fair, Storci will open its doors to all those interested in visiting its plant in Collecchio to get a closer, hands-on look at its technological design approach and production. Next on its calendar is Gulfood Manufacturing with its partner, Fava, which will be held in Dubai on 9-11 November 2014. Created by the Dubai World Trade Centre as a spin-off of the famous Gulfood, this fair promises to become the no. 1 event in the Middle East in the food technology sector. One that is not-to-be-missed and for which very high attendance is expected. Co-participation with its partner, Fava, will provide Storci with tremendous visibility and their stand will be in the Italian Pavillion, Hall 1, stand E1-34. With the new year, Storci will take part in CFIA in Rennes (10-12 March), a trade fair with major impact, attracting vis- itors from throughout France and surrounding countries.

    Rana: a Passion for Quality by Luigi Consiglio Pastificio Rana is the winner of the Eccellenze d’Impresa Award in 2018. A prestigious award promoted by Gea-Consulenti di direzione, Harvard Business Review Italia and ArcaFondi SGR. CASE HISTORY LUIGI CONSIGLIO President at GEA Management Consultants Rana: a Passion for Quality “THIS SON OF MINE’S CRAZY!”, said Giovanni Rana’s mother when the last of her children told her about his plan to start ma- nufacturing homemade tortellini. The family’s bakery didn’t have room for another baker, and this boy thought that, in a booming economy, more and more members of the Italian families would start working. They would have a growing need for practical pro- ducts, which had to be almost1 as good as those they were used to making at home. Soon after, Giovanni and his wife began the first mass production of fresh filled pasta. This was in 1962. Since then, the Rana pasta factory has maintained a steady growth rate of 13.4% per year, constantly, until they reached a billion euro as NOVEMBER 2018 HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW ITALIA 3 CASECASE HISTORYHISTORY FIGURE 1 Figura 1 Rana’s Growth from 1984 to 2020 La crescita di Rana dal 1984 al 2020 (Tasso % medio annuo composto)Average compound annual growth percentage rate development, and the optimization of operations to make their of- 1.000 fer ever wider, unbeatable, and unique.

    ITALFOODS Pasta Guide 2015 A BRIEF HISTORY OF PASTA - IT WASN’T MARCO POLO…. Although, Marco Polo did come across some kind of soft dough filled with meat – think steamed dumplings – in his Asian travels and though that may have ultimately led to the Italian tradition of stuffed pasta such as ravioli - Mr. Polo did not bring pasta to the Italians. It was already there. It is thought that Etrusco-Romans had a layered dish in which they used a noodle made from durum wheat – the noodle was called “lagane”. Sound familiar? Historians believe this was where modern day lasagne comes from. This food, mentioned in the first century AD, was not boiled like pasta, it was cooked in an oven. Dried and subsequently boiled pasta is thought to have arrived in Sicily with the Arabs somewhere in the eighth century. In fact it was in Palermo, Sicily that a factory began to produce dried pasta for local export in the twelfth century. Initially pasta was prepared by street vendors and eaten with ones hands. It was the common mans food and was simply served sprinkled with a little cheese. Sauce did not really come into existence until tomatoes were discovered in the New World and then brought back to Italy. Even then the people feared that the tomato was a poisonous fruit because it is a member of the Nightshade family. Inevitably pasta spread throughout the Italian peninsula and Europe due to its great shelf life and portability. Naturally when Italians migrated west to the United States they brought their culinary traditions with them.

When his children Guido, Luca, Paolo and Emanuela asked me to write their father’s biography, I thought it over for a long time. A biog- raphy is usually the work of a historian, someone who tells the sto- ry of a famous person’s life by rebuilding it as precisely as possi- ble, making the subject seem as close as possible, present in such a way that whoever reads the biography feels like a participant in his or her life.
