4.1 Market analysis
Foods and beverages are urgent need of the human life. In past, most Sri Lankan fulfils their foods and
beverages by using vegetables, leaves, and fruits. They not much concern about the fish and meets and they
not concern about oily (fat) foods. Mostly they organically eat and cook the foods and other beverages.
Therefore they were able to spend their life style with healthy life and healthy body.
But nowadays, most people adapt to the fast foods due to the limitation of time. Every time they use foods
which including huge amount of fat, carbohydrate, colouring, sugar and also various soft drinks. We try to
target the customers who re working with limit time, suffering from some diseases. As well as most
foreigner like to use the local foods and beverages to take experience when they are travelling. We already
provide the service within the well-established natural environment. Anyone who prefer to the friendly
environment can come and take the foods and beverages under the few of local resources. The young couple
also come and eat foods with local beverages in the pleasure times. Most people are travelling for the
pleasure, pilgrimages and some of reasons. If they want eat some things when travelling, they can come and
taste the local foods and relax under the organic environment.
Now the trend is moving from western foods to foods with local ingredients based on the customer
preferences.
4.2 The competition
Nowadays, there are some competitors in my business area. When analysing the market, It clearly seen that
some business are doing fast food store and their customer bases. There are some strongest competitors such
as Perera & Sons(P&S), Mango Mango(Alankulama), Benthota Bake house and also small competitors such
as Ninu, Asela bakers and other grocery stores but, as a small fast food producer, Rasa food have distinctive
competencies to face the rival in my business areas. It may be the competitive advantages to the success of
my business.
Then, from the starting point of my business I try to response against dynamic business changes by adding
more competitive advantages to my business and convert it to the sustainable competitive advantages while
enhancing the customer relationship.
