IntroductionThe product that we have chosen is the breakfast cereal. Our brand name will be Mrs Mathilda because we wanted to choose an Australian icon to better relate to the local consumers (the famous Australian song "Waltzing Mathilda"). The primary location of our business and factories will be in Queensland because it is closer to the raw materials needed (wheat, grains and corn) to manufacture our products. We have a range of healthy breakfast products like breakfast bars, cornflakes and rice cereals. Our main focus will be on Mrs Mathilda's Museli and it is tailored to the needs of those health conscious people regardless the age. As we are a newly established company, our strategy is to establish a foothold in Australian market before venturing out other regions in the world.

Ageing populationIn 1991, the percentage of the Australian population aged 65 and above stands at 11.5%.

Therefore there will be an increase in demand for healthy food and so we have to ensure that the contents of our product provide the maximum possible nutritional value (high in fiber, protein and energy).
