(http://www. bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=99753&rt=Report-package-Branded-foods-in-BRICM-Brazil-RussiaIndia-China-Mexico-forecasts.html) The five countries are widely regarded as the ultimate emerging destinations for manufacturers and retailers prepared to invest now in order to reap the rewards once the countries ‘come of age’.

Market value forecasts by category are provided to 2013, based on research conducted by just-food in 2008.
