e are already well into 2012 another year that will see business conditions remain challenging due to the continuing high dollar thats putting enormous pressure on the competitiveness of Australian industry. As always, Ai Group is strongly advocating for good policy on behalf of members including leading the public debate for changes to the Fair Work Act, keeping the spotlight on manufacturing and the need for a positive and long term strategy for this key sector, helping businesses prepare for the too-high carbon price and encouraging the remaining States to sign off on the new national uniform OHS framework legislation. In the food and confectionery space, your Confectionery Sector is continuing to advocate in the extensive front of pack labelling debate. Toward the end of last year, the Forum on Food Regulation, in rejecting multiple traffic light labelling, agreed to the need for an easily understood, interpretive front of pack labelling system for packaged foods. The Forum will lead the process, engaging with key industry, public health and consumer stakeholders to develop an agreed system within a year. Ministers have required officials to provide a substantial report on the development of the front of pack labelling scheme within six months, to be considered at the June meeting of the Forum, with a view to having a system by the end of the year. At the December Forum on Food Regulation, Ministers also considered the draft standard for nutrition, health and related claims and asked FSANZ to undertake a broad consultation on the draft standard. This consultation is currently underway and is also reviewing the approach for fat free and % fat free claims.
Yours sincerely

Business Adviser, Paul Smarrelli, conducted a Business Review for Heather Brae Shortbreads, providing a full industry, market and operational analysis and an implementation plan to put the recommendations into action. I found the Business Review to be relevant, focused, professional and ultimately effective. I cant recommend Enterprise Connect highly enough, said Mr Wakim. Another business moving forward in leaps and bounds after working with Enterprise Connect, is Anvers Chocolates. Based in Latrobe, Tasmania, Anvers Chocolates manufacture exquisite couverture chocolates, truffles, praline and fudges from the finest ingredients including local Tasmanian cream and butter. Managing Director, Igor Van Gerwen was looking to expand his domestic market share in an industry dominated by foreign owned firms. Jack Van Tatenhove, Business Adviser for Enterprise Connect took the time to understand the industry and the business and provide recommendations on how Anvers Chocolates could meet their business objectives. By implementing Enterprise Connect recommendations Anvers has developed a more focused approach to production, marketing and sales. The plan has helped concentrate the business on profitable projects and markets, install effective staffing processes, improve lean manufacturing, and position the business for growth into the future. The Enterprise Connect Business Review really helped identify areas of the business we needed to tackle. As a business owner you have an idea of the issues that may need addressing, but seeing them identified in the Business Review report really escalates the need to take action, said Igor. While the Business Review is the cornerstone of Enterprise Connects services, a range of other services are available to help businesses evolve, innovate and remain competitive in a challenging environment. The Tailored Advisory Service helps businesses implement recommendations provided in the Business Review and a range of other services including Workshops, Industry Intelligence and Networking, Researchers in Business and Technology and Knowledge Connect are available to eligible businesses.

FSanz callS For SuBmiSSionS on the draFt nutrition, health and related claimS Standard
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has called for submissions on a draft nutrition, health and related claims standard. The proposed new standard would regulate voluntary statements made by manufacturers on labels about the nutrition content of a food, or a relationship between a food and health. There are two principal types of claims; nutrition content claims such as low in fat or source of calcium, and health claims, which refer to a relationship between a food and health, such as calcium and bone health. FSANZ is also seeking comment on the part of the proposal considering regulation of fat free and percentage fat free claims. The proposal includes refinements to a previous draft standard, which was subject to public consultation in 2009. FSANZ has also considered issues arising from a Review of the draft Standard requested by the Legislative and Governance Forum on Food Regulation. FSANZ acknowledges there have been diverse stakeholder opinions about this complex proposal, but believes the draft standard strikes a balance between disparate views. FSanz sought submissions by 16 march 2012. a copy of the review proposal P293 nutrition, health and related claims may be viewed at http://www.foodstandards. gov.au/foodstandards/proposals/proposalp293nutritionhealthandrelatedclaims

Toni Risson, who completed her PhD on the Australian confectionery industry and was a guest speaker at Congress in 2010, is looking for information on an old confectionery item called Moroccos. Apparently they were just like Jaffas except they had a darker, coffee-flavoured centre and came in a box with a man in a red fez on it. Maybe they were a Sweetacre product? Possibly they were only sold for a short time? if anyone has any information, please email Julie Barnes Julie.barnes@aigroup.asn.au

17 February was the deadline for applications concerning the 2 year review of the Fair Work Act 2009. Ai Groups application calls for changes in multiple areas including Enterprise Agreements, Industrial Action, National Employment Standards, Equal Remuneration, General Protections and Unfair Dismissal. As well as the Act itself being up for review so are the Modern Awards which FWA oversee. All 122 Awards are being reviewed by FWA and applications are due in by 08 March. Ai Group is finalising its application which as well as addressing some Award specific content, such as coverage term overlaps, will also address the generic provisions of Individual Flexibility Agreements remaining unutilised and unworkable; no cashing out of annual leave provisions despite the Act contemplating such content; and the need for Awards to harmonise an approach to how additional and substitute public holidays may be dealt with if introduced differently across the States and Territories.

asted food represents significant costs to households and businesses in Australia and has environmental consequences as well. The need to improve food waste data and information was identified as a significant issue during the development of the 2009 National Waste Policy: Less Waste, More Resources and in the 2010 National Waste Report. The Institute for Sustainable Futures, at University of Technology Sydney was commissioned by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities to produce an assessment report on Australian food waste data. This report collates and reviews the quality and nature of 1262 food waste studies conducted in Australia, ranging from regional waste management authority reporting and research papers to national
studies. The report answers three questions: what do we know about food waste in Australia; how good is the knowledge; and who are the knowledge holders? The report concludes that while there are many existing food waste studies, they are highly variable, both in terms of geographical relevance and methodology, making it impossible to compile accurate national data on food waste. The report also indicates that the absence of a national understanding of food waste makes it more difficult to improve the environmental performance of our waste management systems.

AlMondS (uSa)
Market Firm Starting prices have firmed a little in recent weeks however all eyes are on January shipping data out of California and also early indications on how the Californian bloom is tracking. 2012 USA crop is expected to be an off year due to the sheer size of the 2011 crop, high yield and the excess of smaller sized nuts available. The question is whether its a poor off year or a healthy off year. The Australian Non Pareil harvest has already begun. The crop will be a record for Australia due to the amount of newer trees now producing commercial harvests. Quality (especially for Non Pareil varieties) is expected to be significantly better than the 2011 season as 2011 was hampered by severe rains and storms during bloom and flooding during the harvest. With the above mentioned, almonds which have been the only tree-nut at exceptional value in recent years are expected to remain in demand for both the snacking markets and manufacturing industries internationally.
way to go before we reach the levels of the beginning of 2011 crop. Many major buyers have been putting off major decisions to step in until there is more clarity in the market and in the hope that prices will continue to fall back to more normal (historic) levels. It seems this has already begun and its recommended to be at least covered enough not to be forced to step in at a time that has no other option.
DCN buyers are on a waiting game hoping that prices would go down even further, but dont expect these offers to stay long. It is coconut lean season and eventually, prices will rebound when husked prices increase due to tightness in availability.
hAZElnuTS (Turkey)
Market Firm The hazelnut market remains firm on the back of a short Turkish crop and is expected to remain firm at least until the end of the current season. Other crops such as Italy have been quite strong but as Turkey is the dominant producer of hazelnuts globally, it sets world pricing. Expect market fluctuations to occur due to: Currency fluctuations with the Turkish Lira and the USA. Announcements from the TMO on releasing older stocks to the market (In short, this is stock purchased by an arm of the Turkish Government in order to support the farmers in Turkey by getting higher in shell prices to those farmers).
ApRicoTS (turkey)
Market Steady Weak raw material prices in Malatya are being offset by the appreciation of the TL. Heavy winter conditions have slowed down the volume of raw material being brought to market and prices may rise if conditions persist. Sizes 1-4 continue to hold their levels whereas small sizes, diced and industrials have eased in TL terms. The wintery conditions are seen as a positive for the trees, but its a little too early to speculate on how the new crop is developing, this will have to wait until May.
SulTAnAS (Turkey)
Market Firm Raw material prices continue to hold firm and the appreciation of the TL v USD by 7% (1.88 1.75) in the last couple of weeks has insulated any possible decreases on the Izmir Bourse. The role of Raki producers (Alcohol industry) in maintaining such high levels can not be underplayed. Packers who are oversold on their positions due to these sales are creating a constant demand by entering the market on a regular basis, bidding up prices. Speculation that alcohol producers could purchase a further 30,000MT from the 2011 crop pool will certainly mean current price levels will persist for the foreseeable future.
ghAnA
Purchasing figures from the Cocobod are in line with expectations at 557tmt (Oct-1 Jan 2012), down by 7.2% versus same time last year. Overall while La Nia conditions still remain the majority of climate models now suggest a gradual decline of the event.
2011/12 forecasted deficits (from 25tmt to 200tmt) The still net short specs position on London (and on a combined basis) Cocoa is under-valued versus other soft commodities and the CRB index Increasing grinds at origin (in Ivory Coast, Ghana and Indonesia mainly) The powder demand (in both mature and developing markets) Blowing Harmattan along with very little rainfalls Forward sales (Ghana and Ivory Coast unknown timing) Better 2011/12 Asian and Latin American crops versus 2010/11 Butter usage/chocolate consumption expected flatish in mature markets La Nia is still active (but on a gradual decline from its recent peak) The industry is very well covered (8.2 months)

The ICCO surplus for the 2010/11 is of 341tmt and could be further increase in the next quarterly release. Most market counterparts are now estimating a deficit for 2011/12 but the range of estimates remains quite large (from 25tmt to 200tmt).

MARKET coMMEnTARY
Between 3Mar and 9 Dec 2011 the London LIFFE terminal market lost 44% of its value. This drop was both macroeconomically and fundamentally driven. Even if counter-intuitive in time of economic crisis (one usually wants to invest in tangible goods as gold, coffee or cocoa), the speculative funds sold their long and have been net short on both markets over the past 5 months. Undeniably, the crisis was worse than expected, and unappealing Euribor rates combined with higher margin on future exchanges led banks to cut on speculative positions.

Favourite food?
Home cooked, cheese ravioli with a goulash sauce followed by a nice apple pie with cream
Favourite movie?
I dont have a favourite movie but have a couple of TV shows that I can watch repeats of. They are West Wing, Yes Minister and some science fiction shows.
what types of advertising/marketing mediums are the most effective for your company?
Being a small company with a niche product, we have found it most beneficial to directly target the individual niches, ie coeliac, anaphylactic, lactose intolerant, vegan, Kosher, Halal and diabetic. All these groups have specific magazines and expos which we utilise. Sampling is particularly successful when targeted. We also promote to doctors, nutritionists and dieticians involved with diagnosis.
if you could dine with any three people, living or deceased, who would you choose?
William Shakespeare, Isaac Asimov, Benjamin Franklin
