洋洋不会得意Heavyweight! "Food & Beverage Cost Research Special Report": On the Issue of Rising Costs
Click the image for details. Key points: The food industry has enjoyed the CPI-PPI scissors gap dividend for five consecutive years, with the first half of 2017 possibly being the turning point. From 2012 to 2016, gross margins for mass-market food improved by nearly 10 percentage points, which we believe is mainly due to the scissors gap between CPI and PPI. Starting from March 2012, PPI began negative growth while CPI continued positive growth, allowing companies to benefit from falling costs. However, since November 2016, PPI has risen sharply, especially with soaring costs for packaging materials, transportation, sugar, and oil, leading us to predict the turning point of the CPI-PPI scissors gap dividend. Historically, in the second half of 2008 and in 2010, CPI and PPI inverted, and the profitability of food processing companies was generally affected for 2-3 quarters.
