Traditional foods: challenges facing the European food industry

Food Research International, 2000

Brief analysis about the meaning of traditional food products and the delicate situation of this kind of product in a global market, where consumers are requiring a great amount of nutritional and cheap foods, is presented. These demands have contributed to the production and distribution of food stus by big industrial and commercial corporations that are looking for consumer satisfaction, thus homogenising what is eaten in each country, although with a great diversity of brands and displays. Traditional foods are thus restricted by the current conditions in the market but they have good perspectives for growing in the future if some challenges are accomplished. These challenges are communication (a traditional product is exotic in the other markets and then has to be advertised), legal protection of collective brands (insuciently guaranteed in the dierent markets of the European Union), quality assurance (that, as in all the branded products must be a priority objective) and innovation. Most of these challenges will only be accomplished through an ecient and jointly shared organisation of the small industries that produce this kind of product.

Management of Special Food Product – an Opportunity for Market Expansion in the Region and European Food Market

This research is based on conducted surveys with potential consumers of a food product called "kulen" a Slavonian traditional dry fermented salami, as an indigenous Croatian product, covering two counties (Osiječko-Baranjska and Vukovarsko-Srijemska). The surveys include the manufacturer's attitude toward the special traditional product kulen, their place in the market, strengths, and weaknesses. The aim of this paper is to analyze the market for kulen food products, based on consumers' responses and their willingness to purchase the product. The results showed that in the two counties, most consumers purchase salami once a week from a Croatian market-a crucial indicator for consumption of quality products. With Croatia's accession to the European Union, Croatian manufacturers have found themselves within the unified European market. This primarily means an expanding market where they can sell more of their products. However, the entry of new producers into the Croatian market would also increase competition. In such case, some manufacturers will have to lower the price of their products to become more competitive, while those whose products have unique geographical indications, designations of origin, and traditional specialty would certainly be able to set a higher price for their products.

Traditional foods: Why and how to sustain them

Trends in Food Science & Technology, 2006

The longevity associated with the Mediterranean Diet could be partly attributed to Mediterranean traditional foods, which this diet incorporates. A weekly menu, representative of the Greek traditional diet, was found compatible with the nutritional recommendations of the European Commission and with a high flavonoid content. The analysis of several traditional Greek foods indicated that they may contribute to the apparent health benefits of the Greek version of the Mediterranean diet. The methodology for the study of traditional foods in Greece is currently being expanded to 12 European countries in the ‘EuroFIR’ project. One of the aims is to define the term ‘traditional’ ensuring the classification and exclusive registration of traditional foods.
