通过国际市场占有率、贸易竞争指数等指标对世界主要食用豆出口国阿根廷、澳大利亚、加拿大、中国、美国的食用豆国际竞争力进行了测算和比较分析，探讨了影响我国食用豆国际竞争力的主要因素，最后提出了提升中国食用豆国际竞争力的若干对策。研究发现，中国食用豆在20世纪90年代具有极强的国际竞争力，之后国际竞争优势逐步弱化；加拿大和澳大利亚的食用豆出口具有很强的国际竞争力且竞争优势继续上升，阿根廷食用豆的国际竞争力也很强；美国食用豆的国际竞争力则相对较弱而且略有下降。影响我国食用豆国际竞争力的主要因素包括生产成本上升导致缺乏价格优势、产品品质不够一致、国外食用豆发展生产对中国国内市场带来冲击等。要提升我国食用豆的国际竞争力，需要加大对食用豆生产的科技投入力度、建立商品生产出口基地、提高商品品质，适度规模化等。

Ghana's food processing industry is highly fragmented with few companies counting as major producers with widespread national reach. Among the multinational contingent, fast-moving consumer goods firms Cadbury, Nestlé and Unilever are well established with strong brand heritage; however, robust economic growth and rising disposable incomes are likely to lay the groundwork for more domestic companies to emerge over the coming years. Dairy company Fan Milk is the largest Ghana-based food company with a market capitalisation close to USD100mn. In 2013 Dubaibased private equity firm The Abraaj Group and dairy giant Danone acquired Fan Milk in a deal thought to be worth around USD350mn. According to Abraaj, this is the largest ever private equity deal involving Africa's fast-moving consumer goods sector (excluding those in South Africa). The purchase of Fan Milk indicated that Abraaj and Danone hold a positive view on the growth potential of West Africa's fresh dairy sector. As incomes increase so does the consumption of fresh dairy. This is helped by increasing ownership of refrigeration appliances. In 2017 Abraaj and Danone decided to invest an additional USD25mn in Fan Milk in order to help the company meet the rapidly rising demand.

Thailand boasts a well-developed food processing sector, making it one of the world’s leading agricultural suppliers. Segments such as fruit and vegetables, fishery products, and cassava starch are mainly export-oriented, while meat products, animal feed, vegetable oil and dairy products mostly focus on the domestic market. However, the country is one of Asia’s leading fresh milk exporters. Thailand ranked as the second-largest sugar and rice exporter globally in 2017. It exports some 90% of its fish and seafood production, and was also the world’s fourth-largest broiler chicken exporter in 2017. Thus, Thailand’s food and beverage industry is truly a global player, reflecting the government’s vision, launched in 2003, that Thailand should become the “Kitchen of the World” and boost food exports.
