Britannia Aims for Half Sales from Rural Markets
Britannia, the company behind biscuits like Good Day, is focused on selling more in the countryside.
Currently, 40% of their sales come from rural areas, but they want to increase it to 50% in the next few years.
They're expanding their reach by getting their products directly into small villages, and the rural market is growing faster than the urban market.
Britannia believes rural consumers want the same products as city dwellers, like smartphones and biscuits.
They're also hoping that new tax changes will give people some financial relief.
Unlike some smaller companies, Britannia isn't as reliant on online stores and quick delivery services because they have their own distribution network.
Britannia aims for 50% of domestic sales from rural markets in 3-4 years.
Currently, rural markets contribute around 40% of Britannia's sales.
Rural markets are growing faster than urban markets for Britannia.
The company is expanding its rural distribution network by 1,00,000 outlets per year.
Consumption in urban markets has been impacted due to higher real estate prices.
