Abstract

The European-level food industry1 is highly diverse. In the West, while output capacity is substantial, its mature markets are stagnating. In the East, in contrast, there is much potential for growth, numerous investment opportunities and undeniable comparative advantages in costs.2 However, foreign direct investment (FDI) in food is still going mainly to Western Europe, as FDI flows to the East are modest and concentrated in only a few countries, such as Romania, Hungary and Poland (AFII, 2006). This (relative) lack of appetite by multinational corporations (MNCs) for Eastern Europe’s food industry may seem surprising, when compared to the dynamism of FDI flows into the car industry or banking.
