To say that the grocery business is cutthroat would be a major understatement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The food business is very tough, but there's also a lot of love and very giving.
I have a feeling that there is a gap in the food retail market - a niche below some of the current budget operators such as Aldi and Lidl.
Big food companies have their priorities, which include selling cheap, unhealthy foods at high profits.
What I will say is that business is not a nice area. And you might say that I am a business woman, but I'm not into cut-throat business moves.
Perhaps more than any other, the food industry is very sensitive to consumer demand.
Groceries became a revelation: the people coming out with bundles of food. It's all like a great ceremony, and the whole drudgery of shopping has become my inspiration.
I promise you that there are a lot of people involved in various kinds of retail activities who think they have a crucial role in the economy, and they're right.
How many big businesses don't resort to underhand means?
I mean, our primary businesses in wholesale pipelines, utilities, retail, were all doing extremely well.
The business of feeding people is the most amazing business in the world.
