KEY ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION IN 2010:

• Consumer behaviour: what are the key consumption trends?
• Premium segment: will the Russian market fully recover after the initial shock? When will consumers return to high-end stores and products?
• Pricing curves: are food prices likely to rise in 2011-2012?
• Costs of production and raw materials – what to expect in the future?
• What are the best pricing strategies in the current market situation?
• What was the impact of the new trade legislation on cooperation within the food supply chain between agribusiness, food producers and retailers?
• Retail as the key distribution channel: should traditional trading models be changed?

The RUSSIAN FOOD & BEVERAGE FORUM 2010 will address and answer these questions in depth, along with many other burning issues of the day. Download the full conference agenda at: www.adamsmithconferences.com/en/food-beverage-russia
