Colombia Food & Drink Report Q3 2015 - New Report Available

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.

We have downgraded our real private consumption growth forecast to 3.9% in 2015 and 3.7% in 2016, down from 4.5% and 4.7% previously, as lower global oil prices will negatively affect GDP growth over the coming years. The weak performance of the hydrocarbon sector, which accounts for around half of the country's exports, will weigh on real GDP growth and government revenues over the coming years. Despite the country's fairly inflexible and costly labour market, the lack of bureaucracy involved in setting up a business and well developed financial markets continue to make Colombia an attractive investment destination across a number of sectors, including food and drink.

Regional E xpansion To Boost Nutresa Sales: In its home market, we believe that Grupo Nutresa is well positioned to take advantage of private consumption growth over the next few years. Although we have downgraded our private consumption forecasts for Colombia on the back of weaker oil prices - we now forecast real private consumption to grow by 4.0% in 2015, down from 4.5% previously - there is still room for growth in the food processing sector.
