Last update: 7 hours agoBeverage Brands: Coca-Cola and Pepsi remain the world’s two most valuable non-alcoholic drink brands, but both lost value. China’s Nongfu Spring rose 38% to $15.3 billion and became the strongest brand, buoyed by bottled water, ready-to-drink tea and no-sugar drinks. Poultry Trade: Brazil has confirmed a second Newcastle disease outbreak in Santa Catarina, adding uncertainty to global poultry markets. Food Processing: A new report says Canada’s food and beverage sector generates more than $173 billion in production, but over 70% of processed products stay in the domestic market while exports remain heavily focused on raw commodities. It sees room to grow by processing more at home and capturing more value. Commodity Outlook: The World Bank raised its rice price forecast as El Niño risks loom, while weaker demand is clouding the outlook for global pork. Wine Distribution: Producers face a tougher route into the US as distributors shrink portfolios and industry consolidation limits access to buyers. Food Waste: Australia’s End Food Waste Australia has expanded its membership network from 26 signatories to more than 250 organisations, offering businesses tools and support to cut waste.
