. THE PORTUGUESE INDUSTRY
The portuguese fishery industry as a very important role in some local
economies and culture. It´s one of the most ancient activities in the
country reflecting the advantages in having more than 2000 km of
seashore (including the Azores and Madeira Island). Fishery products
are among the most important export products of the Portuguese food
sector (EVD, 2007). In 2007, Portugal exported 133 thousand tonnes of
fishery products, with a value of 448€ million (Eurostat, 2007, 2008),
from which 9% are crustaceous (shrimps, prawns, etc.).
However the trade balance regarding shrimps was, in 2007, -20
thousand tones and -90 millions €.
Portugal is becoming an important re-exporter in this specific market.

After a careful look to the 26 countries, and considering several
indicators such as population,GDP per capita, demographic density
(inhabitants per square km), urban population, HDI ranking, growth rate
as well as indicators of economic and political freedom and country
risk, we have managed to reduce the list to 10 possible
destinations for our product.
The countries with less then 10 million inhabitants, with GDP per capita
low, demographic density low, urban population low, HDI ranking and
with low growth rate were eliminated.
NOTE:The HDI, Human Development Index,is an indicator witch synthesizes several data
such as life expectancy, level of education, professional careers, access to culture, etc

The 10 countries are now under analysis taking in consideration some
new indicators that have been added to the ones used in the previous
step of this process of selection. Items like purchasing power, GDP real
growth, unemployment, budget deficit, political risk, market information,
consumption and productions of shrimps, competitors presence as well
as industry structure and growth, will help to choose which country is
the most attractive and has the biggest potential for our trade product.

COUNTRY OVERVIEW The Economist
. France is the fourth largest exporter of goods and the third largest exporter of services in
the world. After a disappointing 2005, the economy recovered somewhat in 2006. GDP
gained momentum in the first half of 2006, remained stable over the summer and then
picked up towards the end of the year. Annual growth reached 2.1%, slightly below the
official forecast.
. Growth has been hampered by trade deficits, despite positive export figures in 2006. The
value of imports has gone up due to high oil prices, whilst the strong Euro and low
penetration rates in fast- growing economies have undermined exports.
. Household consumption remained strong during 2006, largely driven by consumer credit
and people saving a lower proportion of their income. Consumer spending has remained
constant thanks to the fall in unemployment and higher purchasing power. Companies
remain somewhat hesitant and are ruling out significant increases in production capacity,
despite a relative rebound in business confidence.

COUNTRY OVERVIEW
PRICE
Margins vary strongly depending on the type of product, the distribution channel,
the continual changes in supply and demand and the resulting price fluctuations.
It is estimated that the importers work with a trade margin of some 5-10%.
Competition in the EU market prevents excessive trade margins, although in some
cases the gross margins may rise to 25%. Retail margins vary between some 10%
for canned fish in supermarkets to some 50% for fresh products from specialized
fish retailers (‘fishmongers’).

. THE SEAFOOD SECTOR IN FRANCE
. In 2006, the French were estimated to consume an average of 38kg of seafood per
capita (of which 26kg of fish and 12kg of shellfish). The French lie second in seafood
consumption behind the Spanish and just ahead of the Italians and British.
.In 2006, French households spent over € 4 billion on seafood. Fresh fish continues to
be the most popular type of seafood, particularly fresh fillets. Fresh salmon tops the
sales of fish for household consumption, totaling € 2 million in 2006. The average
price of fish for home consumption, however, increased by 5% in 2006, resulting in a
3% decrease in the overall quantity purchased.

CONSUMER TRENDS
. As the French become more aware of health issues, the popularity of seafood and
seafood-based product have increased, influenced by its healthy image.
. Renewed interest has been shown in shopping at local stores and markets. The
consumer is keen to re-establish contact with the local fishmonger as a way of getting
some advice on what seafood to buy and how to cook it.

CONSUMER TRENDS
. As mentioned before, shrimps and prawns enjoy an increasing popularity in Europe,
which is related to the internationalization of lifestyles and cooking. Shrimps and
prawns are fashionable and relate positively to the major health, convenience and
pleasure trends. For instance, the larger species have become very popular as finger
food, following the Spanish use of ‘Gamba’ which relates to the pleasure trend.
Shrimps are also easy to prepare and provide a healthy alternative to meat. The
improved storage and distribution systems allow the product to be widely available.

. OBJECTIVES
. According to INE, Portugal in 2007 had a catch of 95 thousand tonnes of shrimp,
which translated into value gives a total of 1.984.000 €. However the CBI studies show
us that the values of exports are higher, 133 thousand tonnes, which easily shows that
the exports came from foreign seas.
. In 2006 France had a consumption of 88 thousand tonnes of shrimp. Data for the
year pointed to a total of 536 million Euros of imports of shrimp. Is important to note
that this value is 196 million Euros for EU countries.
. Based on the national production of shrimp, 95 thousand tonnes, initially, 1 year, we
export to France 2% (1.9 thousand tonnes) of that value. A second phase, which will
be 1 to 3 years, we reach the 5% (4.75 thousand tonnes). Finally a last phase, to
more than 3 years,10% (9.5 thousand tonnes).

. GEO-DEMOGRAPHIC BASED
Demographic criteria: age between 25 and 65 (approximately 45 millions)
Geographic criteria: people living in metropolitan areas
(represent 77% of the population)
Size of Segment
From the crossing of these two criteria resulted a market segment with
approximately 35 millions.
Why this segment?
A new consumption trend was identified resulting from the rising popularity of this
product due to the internationalization of life-styles and cooking techniques
(globalization of the Mediterranean diet). Another factor taken in consideration was
the fact that shrimps are easy to prepare and provide a healthy meal. Source : INSEE - Code

. SEGMENTS
Behavior criteria
The French are becoming more aware of health issues. Organic
food also becomes more popular (EVD, 2008). Fishery products benefit from the
health trend. Consumption of fishery products increased dramatically over the last
decade, at the expense of meat products. Consumption of fishery products
increased from 28 kg per person per year in 1996, to almost 36 kg in 26 (Ofimer,
2007). Since 2007, consumption stabilized.

. PRICE (at the point of sale)
After an analysis of the French market, we were able to conclude that the
average price per kg of Red Shrimp is 21€. With this reference price we
calculated the variation to the Portuguese average prices, which is around 12€,
and got a result of 75%.
Considering that we are based in Portugal and wishing to sell in the
French market we add to the Portuguese average price the costs of transportation
(€0.16 per kg, according to most frozen transport companies, transporting a total
of 10 tones per travel) making then a price of 12,16€. Adding 60% of margin
(lower than the variation) will give a recommended retail price not higher than 20€
neither lower than 18€, in order to be according to the positioning – Portuguese
Quality Food.
