Hopefully, 2010 will be a good year for us all. It is undeniable that 2009 was a tough one as we all had to face various challenges due to the economic downturn. Nonetheless, experts suggest that our country is recovering from it. Therefore, in this issue’s Rencana Runcit, we present to you a few “Reasons to Celebrate”.

William Khoo Executive Director Infovantage Sdn Bhd [email protected] PAGE 2 OF 36 TINJAUAN RUNCIT RUNCIT MALAYSIA MAGAZINE ISSUE 19 FORECAST FOR 2010 Chinese New Year is coming on February 14, 2010. It also marks the beginning of the Year of the Tiger. For all our Chinese readers, here is a short forecast for this coming year. 2010 is the year of the Metal Tiger. This combination signifies the energy to begin an activity and the determination to follow it through to the end. It also represents the kind of force needed to accomplish the most difficult tasks. Hence, the impossible just might be possible this year. You may also find that things you did not manage to do before due to some problems will be done. Even if it doesn’t, you will see a significant progress in it. This is also the time to face the most difficult issues as you have the best chances to succeed. However, if you still have difficulties, consider postponing the attempt. In the year of the Metal Tiger, those who think will prosper but those who rush into action may experience serious setbacks. 2010 could be a thrilling and rewarding year for those who thirst for adventure and can handle their emotions. On the other hand, those who seek peace and harmony may find life to be a bit more difficult this year. ARE YOU A TIGER? You are considered one if you were born during a Year of the Tiger which are: 1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986 and 1998. Source: www.proastro.com PAGE 3 OF 36 RENCANA RUNCIT RUNCIT MALAYSIA MAGAZINE ISSUE 19 REASONS TO CELEBRATE Have we passed the worst of the economic downturn? What can be expected of the coming year? Rencana Runcit helps you understand why you should keep your heads up in the new year. PAGE 4 OF 36 RENCANA RUNCIT RUNCIT MALAYSIA MAGAZINE ISSUE 19 WELCOME THE YEAR OF THE TIGER WITH OPTIMISM We are closing the curtain on 2009. As most would agree, it has been a challenging year. The economic downturn in the first half of the year posed real challenges to business. However, there seems to be some positive developments as we get closer to the year of the Tiger. Read on to find out why you should welcome the new year with a positive attitude. Global Economy is Better. The G-20 countries (G-20), whose economies comprise two thirds of the world population and 80% of world trade, spent $692 billion for fiscal stimulus (use of government spending and revenue collection to influence the economy) in 2009. By the third quarter of 2009, Gross Domestic Product, GDP (total market value of all goods and services produced over a period of time) in G-20 such as the USA, China, Japan, Canada, Australia and Indonesia have increased. The Government is Helping. In March 2009, the government announced a RM60 billion stimulus package. The money was used to counter the effects of the global financial crisis on Malaysia: loss of jobs and the reduction in credit flow to businesses and private investments. Our GDP Has Gone Up. The reading was -7 from January to March 2009 but rose to -4 in the following quarter. This shows that we are recovering from the economic downturn. The BCI Has Increase. The Business Condition Index (BCI), an indication of manufacturing activities in Malaysia, increased tremendously in the second quarter and continued to increase in the third quarter of 2009. Employment Rate is Increasing. Our employment index was very low in the last quarter of 2008 but it has been increasing since the start of 2009. Our labour market is recovering and the current and expected incomes are steady. Consumers are Optimistic. Our Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI), an indicator of consumer confidence on the state of the economy, has increased tremendously and passed its 100-point threshold in the second quarter of 2009. It remains the same till the third quarter. PAGE 5 OF 36 RENCANA RUNCIT RUNCIT MALAYSIA MAGAZINE ISSUE 19 GEARING UP FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR Having known the reasons to celebrate the coming of the year of the Tiger, you must now make sure that you are well prepared for the much awaited festive sales. To find out your expectations and preparations for it, Runcit Media Sdn Bhd ran a survey from October 6 till November 7, 2009 where 584 retailers from Peninsular Malaysia were involved. The following are the findings of the survey. Sales Will Increase • Most respondents are optimistic about the festive sales. • Side the majority because consumers no longer seem to be tightening their wallets. • Plan your promotional activities carefully to make the most out of the situation. Cheaper, Smaller, Later • Knowing your shoppers’ purchasing habits during the festive season will help you plan better promotional activities. • While shoppers are still spending, they are becoming more cautious and try not to overspend. PAGE 6 OF 36 RENCANA RUNCIT RUNCIT MALAYSIA MAGAZINE ISSUE 19 Plan Ahead, Stock Ahead • Most retailers start stocking a month before the festive season but this does not allow for thorough preparation. • Start stocking two months prior to the festive season. This will give you enough time to plan which products to stock on, avoid delivery problems and even get better deals from suppliers. • If you never plan to stock earlier, start now as this will help you gain more festive sales. Help from Suppliers • You should try to get help from suppliers as stated above as they will help drive your festive sales and manage your cash flow and space better. PAGE 7 OF 36 RENCANA RUNCIT RUNCIT MALAYSIA MAGAZINE ISSUE 19 WHAT’S NEW IN THE MARKET? Chart 5 shows that while most are optimistic about the increase in sales, they are only expecting moderate increase in the popular categories. Apart from stocking up on them, these are some interesting insights into several categories to help you drive better festive sales. Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD) While consumers still like popular flavours like cola, orange and strawberry, many of them also opt for isotonic drinks which fall under this category. Apart from providing energy and keeping them hydrated, injection of flavours like lemon and orange also attract consumers to choose isotonic drinks. You may also consider stocking up on CSD with less or no sugar and caffeine to cater to the more health conscious shoppers. Asian Packet Drinks (APD) Convenience, taste familiarity and suitability with local climate are what drive this category. Manufacturers are taking a lot of initiatives to drive sales of APD especially during the festive season. For example, consumers can now enjoy soya with addition of corn, rose and cincau. Other more traditional drinks like cheng bou leong and lou han guo are also available now in this convenient format. Biscuits Biscuits are no longer enjoyed only during teatime or breakfast. Since they are now available in so many formats, flavours and pack sizes, consumers are opting for biscuits as festive snacks. In addition, so many health propositions are being made by biscuits manufacturers in the attempt to appeal more to the older and health conscious consumers. Juices & Fruit Drinks A lot of new flavours like mangosteen, soursop, ciku and mata kucing are being introduced to this category, making it more appealing to consumers during the festive season.

  • Going for the Plant-Based (Legen)Dairy Alternative?
    Going for the plant-based (legen)dairy alternative? An exploratory study on consumer attitudes and purchase intentions towards plant-based dairy alternatives Master thesis within: Business Administration - Marketing Number of credits: 30 ECTS Program of study: Civilekonom Authors: Emma Rosenlöw & Tommie Hansson Tutor: Adele Berndt Jönköping May 2020 Master Thesis in Business Administration - Marketing Title: Going for the plant-based (legen)dairy alternative? An exploratory study on consumer attitudes and purchase intentions towards plant-based dairy alternatives Authors: Emma Rosenlöw & Tommie Hansson Tutor: Adele Berndt Date: May 18, 2020 Key terms: Attitude, Environmental concern, Greenhouse gas, Health consciousness, Perceived behavioral control, Plant-based dairy substitutes, Purchase intention, Subjective norms Abstract Global food production, and consequently consumption, contributes significantly to total greenhouse gas emissions. Hence, there is a need for a shift towards more environmentally friendly consumption patterns. This includes moving away from current levels of dairy consumption, where plant-based alternatives can serve as more environmentally friendly options. This research sheds light on an emerging product category, namely plant-based dairy alternatives, which can serve as options or substitutes for traditional dairy products. The purpose of this thesis is to explore consumer attitudes and purchase intentions towards plant- based dairy alternatives, as well as the factors that influence attitudes and intentions respectively. To achieve an in-depth understanding of the topic, this study is of qualitative nature, using an abductive approach and interpretive philosophy. The primary data is collected through interviews with 16 consumers in the selected target group. Further, this research has developed a modified theory of planned behavior (TPB), to add to current consumer behavior research.

  • Food Facts File: the Healing Arts Soy Bean Or Not Soy Bean That Is The
    Jacqui Chiplin Course: Nutrition Consultant NC4 Food facts file: The Healing Arts Soy Bean or not Soy Bean that is the Question… What would Shakespeare have made of the soy product? Would he have pondered whether it would be better for it to exist or not because of the controversies or troubles that surround it as did Hamlet with his life? Not really likely although soy sauce had been imported to Europe by Dutch traders in the 17th Century. In today’s world, the evolutionary journey of the soy bean leaves us with this important question. The Chinese first cultivated the soy bean 3,000 years ago and in the early days it was known as ‘shu’. Since then other Asian countries like Korea, Japan and Singapore have been using soy products for many years. Interestingly though, it wasn’t until the early 1800s that soy beans arrived in the United States. And it wasn’t until the 1940’s that the farming of soybeans actually became popular. So why did it take until the 20th Century for the United States and Europe to adopt soy? A journal written in the early 20th Century pointed to the need for an alternative food supply because of an international shortage of food. ‘The demand which the international shortage of food has created for cheaply produced and easily obtainable sources of all nutrients, and particularly of suitable proteins and fats, has directed attention anew to the possibilities of the soy bean.’ Global population increase had become a concern in the Western world. So why choose soy and what is it? The Chinese found that ‘The bean turned out to be a very cheap source of protein, yielding much more by acreage than milk, eggs or meat, or other common crops.’ Soy is a legume with an edible bean and the composition of whole soy is ‘36% protein, 30% carbs, 20% fat, 9% crude fiber and 5% ash’.

  • Vegan Cooking for Carnivores Let Me Start Off by Saying That I Am Not a Chef, and I Have Never Been to Cooking School
    Vegan Cooking For Carnivores Let me start off by saying that I am not a chef, and I have never been to cooking school. I learned to cook by watching my parents cook dinner every night and soon developed a love for cooking and especially baking. When I became vegan 12 years ago, I did so because of my love for animals and I realized that I didn’t need to consume animal products to live a healthy life. I didn’t do it because I didn’t like the taste of meat. If someone were to come out with a vegan steak that actually tasted like steak, I would be first in line to buy it. Anyway my point is that becoming vegan didn’t mean that I wanted to live off beans and sprouts for the rest of my life. I started off by modifying recipes I had always used and then as I got more adventurous, and as more meat and dairy alternatives came on the market, I started coming up with new recipes. None of my friends and family are vegan, it’s just me and my husband, so when I have people over for dinner, I like to make sure that they come back. That means making meals that taste like food they are used to. I’ve had several occasions where people have come over for dinner and doubted the food was vegan. The introduction food I make is so much like the real thing that my guests actually think I’ve strayed and put meat or dairy in it.

  • February Product Corner Franceen Friefeld, RD., LD., P.H.Ec
    February Product Corner Franceen Friefeld, RD., LD., P.H.Ec. The Good and Not So Good Features of Your Milk Options It seems like yesterday when navigating a supermarket dairy case for milk was an easy task. Today the dairy case is overwhelming, offering soy, hemp, almond, coconut milk and more. Functionally and nutritionally, these milk products are very different, but which is best? Like every answer to “what should I eat?”, it’s more complicated than that and it depends on a person’s health status and preference. The surge of plant-based milks has been fueled by a growing interest in vegan diets, adults who are intolerant to lactose, a sugar found in cow’s milk, as well as efforts to lower cholesterol. However, they are not nutritionally superior, and do not deserve the health halo attached to them. The effect that dairy has on one’s health is far from definitive and the negative hype about cow’s milk has not been found to be justified. Studies claiming that dairy causes cancer is offset by studies showing that dairy prevents cancer. Ones indicating that dairy causes weight gain are countered by studies demonstrating that dairy supports weight loss. Additionally, for those who want to avoid saturated fat, or are lactose intolerant, there are many low fat and lactose free varieties of cow’s milk available. Cow’s milk is actually the best option in many cases, particularly for infants and toddlers who require the calories, fat, protein calcium and Vitamin D for healthy development. Some of the plant-based varieties lack one or more of these essential nutrients.
