Demographics
BY LISA RISSER
WILLOW STREET (Lancas
ter) The most profitable section
in a grocery store is the produce
depart Little wonder as fresh fruits
and vegetables have taken on a
greater importance in the Ameri
can consumer’s diet during the
past several years.
Producers and retailers alike are
beginning to explore new market
ing avenues that capitalize on this
change and the changes in social
demographics. But before they can
do this, they must have an under
standing of the changes that are
occurring, Bryan Silberman told
attendees of the Agriculture Mark
eting Alternatives Conference last
week.

Trends Influence Produce Marketing
Among the trends Silberman,
staff vice president of the Produce
Marketing Association, mentioned
included the need for processing
foods before they get to the store
and consumer. “Preprocessing:
things that save time for consum
ers and grocers are increasing in
popularity,” he said.
A trend closely related to this is
the diminishing difference
between grocery stores and
restaurants. “There is a fight for
the disposable food dollar between
food service operators (restauran
teurs) and grocers,” commented
Silberman. “Chain stores ate look
ing for draws; they’re offering
salad bars and gourmet food to
go.”

The other major trends Silber
man listed include:
•Cocooning—People are'com
ing hack to the home as a focus of
family activities. This means an
increase in food to go.
•UPC Codes—Price look-up
codes will one day be applied to
produce at shipping time.
Silberman stressed the need for
an industry-wide understanding of
each step’s problems. “Producers
and distributors should know the
purchasing needs of retailers, and
everyone should know the buying
habits of consumers,” he
remarked.
“In addition, producers must
focus on the market needs first,
before planting.”
