AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Restaurant Growth: Guzman y Gomez’s founder-led expansion is leaning on digital ordering, delivery and loyalty sales, though rising food and wage costs could pressure margins. At Chaag Thai in West Virginia, a service robot now carries orders, freeing staff for kitchen work. Food Affordability: Food insecurity is worsening: Pakistan’s moderate-to-severe rate reached 24.35% of households, while severe food insecurity in Australia rose about 40% from 2020 to 2024. Food Safety: Delhi inspectors destroyed 922kg of adulterated sweets and spoiled food in a festive-season crackdown. Industry Pressures: PepsiCo is closing a Tennessee bottling plant amid falling soft-drink volumes, while a UK frozen-food company has gone into liquidation.
