New Partnership at ATO

Co-located with the 2009 All Things Organic in Chicago, the new program will add multi-cultural, specialty, and health and wellness products to the lineup of organic products. This new combination creates a forum for buyers across retail, foodservice, distribution and manufacturing to enjoy valuable educational opportunities and source products that will help them stay competitive.

Bring on the Lipstick!

Smart cosmetics firms stand to benefit from the world’s current economic troubles. While female shoppers may be pinching the pursestrings on big-ticket items, many in the industry agree that more money is spent on small luxuries like lipstick during recessions.

Pasta Profits

How can you succeed with noodles? In 1977, each day, Alb-Gold produced about 110 pounds of Spatzle – traditional German noodles. Today the company produces, each day, a thousand times that much. A European leader in the tough high-quality noodle market, now it’s time for Alb-Gold to increase its market share also in the United States.

Fast and Organic?

Vacations, business trips or simple errands make staying completely organic almost impossible – even many dedicated consumers buckle and eat a fast-food hamburger. Happily, more restaurant franchises are opening that specifically target customers who want nutritious, organic food at speeds similar to those of the fastest greasy junk providers.

Chocolate for a Good Cause

Pacari Chocolate, the first organic and fair trade chocolate developed in Ecuador from bean to final product, and its parent company Ecuadorian Organics have started a new program. The community-minded firm imports solar-powered flashlights to help farmers get around 5-6 hours of light. The batteries required last around three years, saving tremendous expense and waste.
