Executive Summary BCCA’s Beef Value Chain Market Analysis and Strategy Development project is a comprehensive consumer-driven marketing strategy to revitalize British Columbia’s beef and cattle industry. To achieve this, an innovative consumer focused approach is required to maintain and strengthen the beef cattle industry in BC. Value chain participants will gain a competitive advantage from the ability to understand consumer preferences and align the supply chain to deliver on those expectations. This report presents the market analysis and research along with recommendations on a marketing strategy to achieve this. Together, the BC and Pacific Northwest region represent a sizable market with over 15 million people. BC has 13.2% of Canada’s population, yet represents only 8% of beef consumed in Canada. Historically, the Pacific Northwest consumes 2% less beef than the national average1, suggesting that both markets are underdeveloped for beef consumption. With the explosive growth of the Chinese population in BC (almost 20% of people in Metro Vancouver are of Chinese origin), there may be an opportunity to increase beef demand with this important market segment. The consumer research clearly demonstrated that a significant segment of these markets were willing to pay premiums for beef products with identifiable attributes. Seventy four per cent (74%) of those surveyed in BC and 59% in the Pacific Northwest were willing to pay more for beef with any of the value-added claim. Thirty per cent (30%) of consumers in this region (on average) were willing to pay 25% more for antibiotic and hormone free beef. The review of the supply chain and in discussions with industry, it appears the majority of ranchers

  • Asian Supermarket Shares See Mixed Response To
    While North American and European supermarket stocks closed lower Friday, likely in response to the threat posed by e-commerce giant Amazon to the grocery space after its announced US$13.7 billion deal to purchase Whole Foods, the reaction from Asian markets has been mixed. The continent's bourses were already closed when the announcement was made last week, and on Monday there was no discernible trend in response. Further south in Australia though, all major listed supermarket saw their share prices fall. Leading Japanese retailer Aeon Co Ltd actually saw a slight rise of 0.46% in its share price, while increases were also seen with the country's Yamada Denki Co Ltd (+1.6%) and Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings (+0.77%). In India, Big Bazaar owner Future Retail Ltd saw an increase of 5.7% in its share price, while in China, Lianhua Supermarket saw an uptick of 2.37% and shares in Yonghui Superstores were up 1.5%. In contrast, falls were seen for Hong Kong-based regional player Dairy Farm International Holdings (-1.96%), as well as South Korea's Lotte Shopping Co Ltd (-1.61%) and e-mart owner Shinsegae Inc (-1.86%). In Australia, shares in Coles owner Wesfarmers were down marginally by 0.22%, but the drops were more pronounced at Woolworths (-3.5%) and IGA owner Metcash (-2.33%). In the U.S., at the time of writing Walmart shares have been relatively flat today, and Costco saw has had a minor recovery of 1.89% from Friday's 7.19% fall, while Kroger and Supervalu - which suffered the biggest drops last week - have had small gains of 1.28% and 0.47% respectively.

  • Chelsea Eats Study Card Spending Update
    April 2021 Chelsea Eats Study Card Spending Update Jeffrey Liebman Kathryn Carlson Eliza Novick Pamela Portocarrero* Background on the Chelsea Eats Program1 Chelsea, Massachusetts, a city of 40,000 people just north of Boston, is among the places in the country hardest hit by Covid-19, both from a health and an economic perspective. Its heavily Latino population is concentrated in sectors of the economy that were shut down when the pandemic hit, and Chelsea residents are also disproportionately likely to be front-line service workers exposed to infection risk. In April 2020, local community organizations and the City of Chelsea responded to the economic crisis facing jobless Chelsea residents by mounting an unprecedented food distribution effort. In September 2020, after five months of running its food distribution sites, the City decided to redirect its efforts toward distributing financial support so that residents could purchase their own food through a program called Chelsea Eats. By combining city general revenue funds, state aid, and philanthropic contributions, the City assembled enough resources to distribute Chelsea Eats cash cards to approximately 2,000 households and to replenish the cards on a monthly basis for a total of six months. The card amounts vary with household size. Most households are receiving $400 per month, but one- and two-person households receive $200 and $300, respectively. The cards can be spent anywhere Visa is accepted. In total, 3,615 households applied for the cards, and 2,074 were chosen to receive the cash assistance cards via a lottery. Gift cards were credited with the first payment on November 18th, 2020 and with the second payment on December 18th, 2020.

The neighborhood is a social, cultural, and economic hub for the Vietnamese community in the Great Seattle Area. However, there are major internal community challenges preventing effective response to external displacement forces. Those internal challenges include lack of a community-based institution capable of advocating, engaging, and taking action on the community’s behalf. The Little Saigon 2020 Action Plan is a road map that will help guide the community capacity building process while also addressing external displacement factors.
