Does food and food items business slow down within the first few days of the year in your locality

[King Belieal]

Every business has it's peak and off season. People that sell food and food items struggle with sales within the first few days or weeks of the year. That's because potential patrons have ether stocked up during Christmas or new year celebrations or most patrons have traveled.

Does food and food items slow down in your locality within the first few days of the year?

it does but at a very minimal level because people still do buy foodstuff but not as during the festive period

 

[Kera]

Not just food business but businesses that have to do with general demands always slow down a bit after the new year festivities.

Sometimes it does, and sometimes it does not. Food business is one that keeps producing profit no matter the season.

Yes, I believe it isn’t a drastic change since food is an essential item. People continue to buy food, whether it’s for a special occasion or not, as we need it to survive. I enjoy stocking up on food because it helps me save both time and money.

In my city, people buy more foods during festive seasons, especially during Chinese New Year. There are many family dinners.

After major holidays like Christmas and New year, many people stock food items at home. As a result, there's often a decrease in demand for food products immediately following these holidays.

That's the exact situation that is happening in my country right now. People still have the excess of the food they had stocked up during the Christmas period.

No especially if is food items anything food doesn't slow down at all in my locality instead food business move better.

 

[Augusta]

This pattern seems to be universal across different countries. Make sense though, as people tend to buy in bulk before the holidays and then have leftovers that last for a while. It must be tough for food producers and retailers to deal with these ups and downs in demand.

Here, the price is still going up. In my locality, people will still celebrate till the end of January. It around February that the price is likely to drop. In January, there is traditional wedding, burial, house opening and dedication etc

 

[Augusta]

Foodstuffs price is still on the high here but the price of livestock have seems to drop. it is less lucrative now than last month

 

[Miley]

Yes food selling business slow down in the first or after the first week if only your cooking standard has reduced .

Actually if there's good business that wouldn't miss out some customers is actually the food dealing businesses. They are very profitable for sure
