tough market that include big players adopting many advertising
campaigns with a good positioning for of other competing products
poor inactive web site www.aga.com.eg and a quite absence for Media
Non existing of marketing department
Lack of marketing research done to enhance company product positioning.

channel to voice customer views
an obsolete poor can design that was first introduced since 2002

privileges given by Egyptian government pursuing the approach and
preferences to better invest in land reclamation projects, increasing area
available for agricultural output and so cattle breeding which will also
reflect in some certain facilities that can be given to AGA
large increased population for current region which will definitely results
in wide customer base
Threats:
Urban construction is taking over on the limited land suitable for agricultural
production
With the volatile prices increase of many agricultural commodities, Egypt will
face a severe competition for many key import commodities.
According to Central bank of Egypt annual inflation is reaching to 9.09% rate
and this is leading to an increase in raw materials and may impact labor cost
which will impact product price

or extract from fruit, vegetables or herbs. What the final product can be called is regulated by national and regional food legislation, but with some variation.
Juice - 100% fruitJuice contains only the natural ingredients contained in fruit and vegetables, i.e. fruit juice or fruit juice concentrate.
NectarWithin the beverage industry nectar is a fruit juice that is too thick to drink – for example, from apricots, peaches and pears. The juice, or rather the purée, must therefore be diluted with water and have sugar added to make it drinkable. The fruit juice content in nectar can vary between 25% and 99 %
Still drinks
The next step on the scale for less juice content is still drinks, namely fruit drinks with less than 25 % of fruit content.
AGA produces Nectar juice that helps to maintain good health, when time is short, which create a value in consumers mind about this product and motivate rheumy to buy frequently.
AGA will position itself as:
1. Easy to reach.

3. Reliable

and that is a considered a limited market share comparing to big players in market like
Juhayna that is taken 23% of total Market share .

opportunity for AGA to focus Egyptian market and utilize many aspects of it.

feel thirsty or need a refreshment, with the growing life standards and increased levels of
information ,Globalization , education standards , and health awareness becoming more
increasingly important factor in consumers decisions and their food preferences in recent
years.
The demand to produce a healthy product free of artificial colors and preservatives, with

provides more nutrition than other drink Juice
There is value attributed to the more attractive beverage of nectar fruit juice.
More people are tend to enjoy a high-quality juice without the mess of making it themselves.
12-Price overview and value added.
AGA starts to produce AGA Nectar in a can container of 330ml size in since 2002 and
there are five flavor: Mango, Orange, Grapes, Guava and Apple price of a whole box of
mango can costs 17.40 L.E at an average cost of 1.45 pounds per 1 pack ,selling price is
at 35L.E and sometimes a discount is being offered as 10% discount to be 31.50L.E final
price, at an average price of 2.625 pounds per Can.
End User price is at 3.75L.E with profit margin of 1.125L.E, and for the other flavors
(Orange, Grapes, Guava and Apple) whole Box costs 15L.E, 1 can at cost 1.25L.E selling
price is at 33L.E for each box and sometimes a discount is being offered at 10%, at an
average of 2.475 pounds per 1 can.
End user price at 3.50L.E with profit margin of 1.025L.E. Profit margin for sellers
/outlets is nearly 42% from the Purchasing price.
Since our product is a “Convenient Good" type of products so it is meaning high turnover
for the products and more revenue to be generated.
From customer point view the price of can is quite reasonable if we compare it with other
juice product Like RanI Mango juice that is 4.25L.E per Can and it is 240ml of size only
and Kahha Nectar mango can as 3.00 L.E with size of 200ml only so our product give
