In his latest President's Column titled "After the Storm, Independent Operators Take Their Game to the Next Level," Mark Allen discusses a new IFDA - Technomic report that can help IFDA members develop their strategies for serving this important industry segment. Since the onset of the recession, independents have faced extreme business stress, including declines in consumer confidence and demand, sharply higher food costs, greater regulation, restricted access to capital, and intense competition for the consumer's food dollar. To adjust to these new market realities, independents improved their game and applied significant discipline to their business, especially in the areas of sourcing, marketing, and labor. More than 500 independent operators share their views on the state of their business and what they need from their supply chain partners. Full Story

The high-profile arrival of U.S. mass merchant Target to Canada next spring, along with an ongoing expansion effort from Walmart that's rapidly turning its store base into grocery-led supercenters, has coincided with a consumer mindset that could prove to be all too welcoming for the newcomers, sources claim. This reflects a Canadian economy that after a quick recovery from the 2008 recession, has once again stagnated and resulted in a consumer that is especially focused on price and value. For supermarkets, sales have largely been flat, store traffic is down and baskets slightly up as shoppers remain cautious, reported Supermarket News. Full Story

The biotechnology and food industries are looking anxiously westward to California, where a ballot measure that would require labels on genetically modified foods will go before voters on Election Day. The contentious fight over the measure, Proposition 37, has escalated in recent weeks as chemical, biotechnology and food manufacturing businesses have ponied up more than $45 million in an attempt to sway voters. Leading the pack is Monsanto, the world's largest agricultural biotechnology company, which has spent more than $8 million to defeat the labeling initiative, nearly $3 million more than rival DuPont, according to the California secretary of state's office. That spending dwarfs the sum amassed by groups in favor of the measure, which have gathered only $7 million. The influx of cash seems to be having an impact. Previous polls had consistently shown the measure passing, but a poll released last week showed that slightly more than 50 percent of voters are against it, reported St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

In a letter to leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives in early November, the Coalition to Promote U.S. Agricultural Exports urged action on a new five-year farm bill during the lame duck session. With the expiration of the 2008 Farm Bill on Sept. 30, USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service currently has no authority to run market promotion and development programs including the $200 million per year Market Access Program and $30 million per year Foreign Market Development program for fiscal year 2013, according to the letter to Speaker of the House, reported The Packer Online.

A surge in the cost of feed grain after the recent drought stripped many livestock farmers of profit and set off a chain of events that threatens to drive up world meat prices in 2013. The global economic downturn has made it difficult for farmers to pass on rising costs to cash-strapped consumers, and they have sought to scale back production plans in the face of mounting losses. In the pork industry, this has meant slaughtering breeding sows, which in the short-term can actually increase meat supplies, with the eventual decline in production not felt until 2013, reported Reuters.

Dozens of citrus growers who use treated wastewater to irrigate crops and fend off freezes already get it for a bargain rate or pay nothing, but now some Orange County commissioners want to make sure they always get it free. Orange leaders have agreed to explore talks with Orlando, their partners in the treatment program, to drop the current 19-cents-per-1,000-gallons price to zero for citrus growers. It would take about a 7% price increase for other residential and commercial users of reclaimed water to make up about $206,000 in lost annual revenue by 2014, according to officials. More than two decades ago, growers agreed to take treated water off the desperate governments' hands when no one else wanted it. Now, though, the recycled water is a sought-after commodity for irrigation of all kinds. Growers state that if they can't get it free, they likely will sell off the last of their land to developers, reported Orlando Sentinel. Full Story

Using state-of-the art genomics may predict whether a piece of beef will be tender enough, according to researchers at the Herbivore Research Unit of the National Agronomic Research Institute (INRA) in Theix, France. Until now, the meat industry has been using low-tech methods to assess beef quality, based on carcass weight, hanging method and pattern of muscle fat stripes, also known as marbling. However, traditional approaches may lack competitiveness at an industrial scale, reported Science Daily. Full Story

Scientists have come up with a new land development concept that could change to incorporate both climate protection and intensive farming at Technische Universitòãt MÓ®nchen (TUM). The new model is tailored to medium-sized farms in South America and sees farmers transitioning from large-scale monoculture to more diverse crop mixtures spread over smaller plots interspersed with wooded areas - a switch that can bring significant financial benefits, reported Science Daily.
