With Easter just around the corner, the FMCG team takes a close look at the Confectionery category in New Zealand. We also bring you the latest international trends with a report and images from the largest trade fair for confectionery, sweets and biscuits – ISM 2011. We talk to stakeholders in the Male Grooming category and celebrate an iconic company’s significant milestone, in the C-Store section of FMCG. Industry expert Geoff Griggs examines wheat beers, while specialist resource writer John Clarke highlights developments in produce, fish and meat supply. As this issue of FMCG went to print, our thoughts were with our colleagues and all the people in Christchurch. When the city was struck by a massive earthquake on 22 February, buildings, roads and infrastructure sustained major damage and the loss of power and water around some parts of the city presented incredible challenges. Find out how these obstacles for suppliers and distribution centres were overcome. Steve Anderson, ceo Foodstuffs South Island, explains in this issue of FMCG how Foodstuffs’ crisis management team responded and how efficiently it communicated updates about its operation in the region. The earthquake was a timely reminder for all of us to ensure that we have procedures in place to protect our families, staff and vital business data. Are we prepared? Keep well and stay safe! Tamara
