Executive Summary
How has summerfruit performed this summer?• Summerfruit maintains #2 ranking for summer despite value declines– $ decline of 8.5% over summer (vs. -2% for total fruit) and down 1.1% category
share– 70 cents less spent on loose summerfruit each purchase occasion – Adult households, young families and older families driving the decline
• Mixed families increase loyalty to summerfruit, increasing spend on loose fruit
Have prepacked summerfruit sales been successful?• Strong growth of prepacked summerfruit (+17%) with an increase of 90 cents each
purchase occasion • 46,800 more households purchasing this summer than YA• Increased value spend by lifestages less engaged with summerfruit overall this
summer• Fewer young and mixed families buying this year– Is summerfruit less appealing for households with young children vs. other fruit
types?
Confidential & ProprietaryCopyright © 2010 The Nielsen Company
Executive Summary cont.
Did the overlap in regions fruit crops in January effect demand in 2010?• Hhld penetration was higher post January than last year but average spend was
considerably lower• Lower spend per trip is the key driver behind negative performance of loose summerfruit– Spend per trip dropped immediately after Christmas and did not stabilise until
February/March• Did the excess supply of fruit in January deflate prices vs. YA?
Did the negative press in the Dominion (Lower NI newspaper) on 30 January impact peach sales?• There is no apparent effect on shopper purchase measures
What impact have early summerfruit season pickings (pre November) had on the category? • Early season household penetration is below last summers levels but higher prices could
be driver• summerfruit loyalty took a dive below last summers levels in October and never
recovered• Are these factors due to early season fruit pickings or other environmental factors?
Confidential & ProprietaryCopyright © 2010 The Nielsen Company
Recommendations
Focus on increasing spend per trip to drive up summerfruit value• Prepacked formats are already achieving this• Target independent outlets where prepacked produce share of trade is
low – positive growth opportunity for retailer• Communicate recipies using fresh fruit during the season
Re-gain shopper loyalty to summerfruit• Re-engage older singles & couples and older families with summerfruit
Increased spend on total fruit but decreased share spent on summerfruit• How can customers be rewarded for higher purchase weights of loose
produce?Cross promotion opportunities with other fruit or non-fruit suppliers eg.
plums and chocolate
Communicate benefits of summerfruit for young children to overcome the potential barrier to purchase
• For example, small fruit size for small hands, essential vitamin levels of fruit types to meet daily growth requirements

How has the fruit category performed?

Summerfruit Season (08-09) Summerfruit Season (09-10)
Spend per occasion was down versus last summer, exceeding the $5 mark for the Christmas period only vs. last year when it remained elevated until April. Buyer base was slow to build, despite stronger start than last summer. Extended summer meant shoppers were buying later into the season on a more frequent basis than last summer.
Is the deflated $ per occasion the result of the over-supply in the market?

Despite shoppers spending less on fruit overall, the decrease in spend on summerfruit has seen a drop in shopper loyalty this summer. Who is driving this decline?

Foodstuffs undertrades in summerfruit due to New World share of loose fruit as does Progressive. Supermarkets overtrade in prepacked summerfruit due to non supermarkets predominance of loose fruit. Is there an opportunity to drive growth of prepacked with independent outlets?
