Food for thought - 30 Apr 2012

The best butchers in the country were honoured last week in the 2011 Cleaver Awards; the national and provincial winners having been selected from a record of over 21000 nominations.

Just before the long weekend, the new Nicolway Bryanston shopping mecca opened its doors to a flood of shoppers. With all 90 stores let, shoppers are spoilt for choice. The grocery segment includes a 3600sqm Checkers, a 2500sqm Food Lovers Market, and don't forget the 3200sqm Woolworths concept store sporting the largest food market in the history of the brand.

News from the Cool Logistics Africa 2012 conference in Cape Town last week includes a call for action, the competition challenges African fruit and veg exports are facing, and what SA suppliers stand to gain from Mozambique agribusiness.

A little food for thought on your day off tomorrow... Have a great one!
