The Food and Beverage industry consists of six main sub-sectors: The Meat Industry, Fish Processing Industry, Dairy, Bread and Milling, Beverages, and Other food industries1. The latter includes various activities that, given their limited representation, are included in a single sub-sector; it includes Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, Cooked Dishes, Feed, and Chocolate and Coffee.
At present, the Food and Beverage Industry (IAB) play a key role invigorating the primary sector, as there is a high degree of interdependence between the two sectors. Among its main features is the ability to produce high quality products and to incorporate technology and innovation to their production processes.
