The gap in spending between the top 20 percent of seafood buyers and the bottom 50 percent of buyers is a sign of how seafood should try appealing to infrequent shoppers, according to IRI Executive Vice President and Practice Leader Chris DuBois. DuBois, speaking during the National Fisheries Institute Global Seafood Market Conference – held from 15 to 19 January in La Quinta, California, U.S.A. – highlighted the massive gap in spending between frequent seafood consumers and infrequent consumers. For finfish, according to IRI data, frequent buyers – representing the top 20 percent of purchasers – had a “dollars per buyer” of USD 372 (EUR 344) in 2022. Meanwhile for the least frequent shoppers – representing half of all consumers – that number was just USD 27 (EUR 25). Image courtesy of IRI

vitranc Introduction Persimmon ( OTCPK:PSMMY , OTCPK:PSMMF ) (PSN.L, listed on the London Stock Exchange) is one of the largest homebuilders in the UK. It builds homes under three brands and is known for selling more affordable ones with an average asking price of 20% below peers. What’s unique about Persimmon is that it has the most established off-site manufacturing of timber walls, roof tiles, and bricks, essentially a vertically integrated business. The business benefits from a structurally undersupplied UK housing market where there has been no real solution for the lack of high-quality housing for over a decade. The business is also resilient and has improved operationally since the great financial crisis in 2008. It has survived the worst period in the housing industry, and the company and balance sheet have transformed, with margins improved markedly. The latest financial update also shows an excess cash balance sheet of nearly £1B, giving a solid buffer as it prepares for a higher interest rate environment. I believe the valuation is attractive at the current price (£14/share) and might offer an upside for nimble investors who can time the market (not us). However, Persimmon is not a sleep-well investment. I don’t […]

An award-winning Ukrainian e-government app and digital platform supported by the United States is accelerating Ukraine’s digital transformation – and it’s about to expand to more countries. At the World Economic Forum today, USAID Administrator Samantha Power met with Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov to discuss the next phase of USAID’s collaboration with Ukraine to advance digital transformation and help partner countries adopt platforms that better connect citizens with their government. Since the establishment of Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation (MDT) in 2019, USAID provided legal, financial, and technical assistance to develop Diia for Ukrainian citizens. Diia is a mobile application and online portal that opened up digital access to 120 government services and enables Ukrainians to engage with their government online in a one-stop-shop – from applying for benefits and government programs to paying taxes, accessing important documents, registering and running businesses, and providing identification and digital signatures. Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Diia has also allowed Ukrainians to receive social support with government services closed in areas impacted by war, and has been used by displaced Ukrainians to access aid and other critical services. The app is the gold standard in e-government, […]

A growing problem for retailers is managing inventory in omnichannel environments . Retailers want to ensure consistency across the in-store, online and social media experiences, but supply chain and staffing shortages can make this complicated. These days, the industry is benefiting from radio frequency identification technology to help retailers monitor inventory in real time. RFID’s sophisticated artificial intelligence and sensory technology can geotag and track products as they move from the warehouse to the store and into customers’ homes. At NRF 2023: Retail’s Big Show , IT leaders shared how they’re using RFID to enhance loss prevention efforts, identify counterfeit resale products and record accurate inventory. By digitizing the lifecycle of any product, retailers can take a major step toward digital transformation and gain better visibility into their supply chains.

By Vikas Kumar Keshri, Business Consultant, YASH Technologies The mining industry is entering a new era with various fast-evolving challenges. Miners face rising costs while battling multiple environmental, yield, and compliance issues. According to McKinsey, the mining narrative is significantly more complex and nuanced. “2021 was a record year, and 2022 has been another: in recent months, prices for many mined commodities have hit record levels. (On the other hand), demand for selected commodities is expected to increase with consumer spending growth by 2030.” Emerging megatrends, including the energy shift that has propelled commodities prices upwards, have also provided an advantage for leading miners as they plan their strategies to tackle this decade of unprecedented challenges. Several of the world’s top miners expectedly had fantastic financial results for 2021. Add these gains to their strong performance in 2020, and you have a decade of victory amidst volatility. Will these top revenue makers carry the momentum into the next decade? A recent PWC forecast suggests increasing revenue and rising costs will bring in margin pressure. Circa 2022: Global GDP growth forecasts are coming down due to high energy costs, supply chain disruptions, lockdowns in China, and waning consumer confidence. However, […]
