Thailand food additive sales strategy
Nucleotide
A. Issue
1. Decreasing Indent sales mainly due to the decreased bidding Q’ty of Thai President
(Thai President quantity : ’14 118mt -> ‘15(E) 72mt)
2. Stagnant distributor sales
(Pure Chemical quantity : ’13 215mt -> ‘14 193mt) – due to overstock flowing from 2013
3. More aggressive MH sales expected
B. Strategy
1. Increase the market share in medium-small size customers thru distributors to compensate the decreasing indent sales and margin
2. Block MH nucleotide to advance into the market at early stage
C. Detailed plan to do
1. Analyze distributors monthly sales and inventory status and feedback them to improve
(Pure Chemical and Wang Chemical)
2. Aggressively target Ajinomoto customers by either pushing distributors or finding new customers by ourselves
3. Keep developing new distributors (But, should emphasize not to overlap with the existent distributors’ customers)
4. Promote nucleotide to the customers who currently use MSG only in their formula
(Ms. Judy will support the optimum formulation of nucleotide in each product)
5. Send the bulk sample of MH to HQ for the 3rd party analysis
(Pls, arrange the sample within April without fail)
Let’s spread the low content and safety issue and make the customers more concern
MSG(RC)
A. Issue
1. Unbalanced stock issue per each mesh size (Only available mesh size is RC)
2. Dominant cheap Chinese MSG (Dumping the price below our production cost)
B. Strategy – Selection and concentration
1. Focus on RC sales only (Other mesh size sales are not beneficial to us at this moment)
2. Target Ajinomoto and other branded suppliers’ customers who care for the origin and quality
C. Detailed plan to do
1. Analyze distributors monthly sales and inventory status and feedback them to improve
2. Aggressively target Ajinomoto customers by either pushing distributors or finding new customers by ourselves
3. Keep developing new distributors (But, should emphasize not to overlap with the existent distributors’ customers)
