Forbidden Foods Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Marcus Brown said: “During the quarter, we were able to further cement our footprint in Asia with our entry into Vietnam via the AusCom International agreement. We were pleased to secure and deliver two purchase orders within the first month of our agreement and make further headway as we pursue our strategy to increase our presence on Asian e-commerce stores, drive brand awareness and support the growth of FUNCH in South-East Asian and Chinese markets.

“Our penetration into Asia was further solidified post-quarter end with the execution of the cross-border e-commerce agreement with Winhealth Pharma, which is targeting minimum sales of $3.215 million over an initial two-year term, making it our largest sales agreement executed to date.

“Our ambitions to tap into the rise of plant-based diets led to the launch of our new plant-based edible oils range in May. The range was developed in conjunction with Alibaba, based on market research and forecast trends for its e- commerce platform. Initial uptake for FUNCH on our Tmall Global store has continued to be strong with positive customer feedback on the edible oils and revenue continuing to grow month-on-month.

“Going forward, we are in a strong position with sufficient inventory holdings to fulfil the growing sales pipeline. We will continue to prudently manage our inventory holdings to ensure we have the working capital capacity to execute key initiative across the business to enable the business to continue to grow.”

Australia and New Zealand (ANZ)

The ANZ market continues to require a proactive and responsive approach to managing the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite challenges with ongoing lockdowns continuing to impact foodservice, we have continued to strengthen and grow our business by increasing the accessibility to our brands both in-store and online.

On the back of launching new websites for both FUNCH® and Sensory Mill® in Q3 FY21, direct revenue from this channel has continued to grow, up 182.6% on Q3 FY21. As the ranges under both brands continue to expand, this online channel is expected to continue to grow and provide both brands with a steady stream of high margin revenue.

The Company will continue to work on increasing penetration through existing distribution channels and will assess potential ranging opportunities in major supermarkets.

China & South-East Asia

China

The major social policy shift to introduce China’s three-child policy during the quarter is expected to significantly increase the baby food market, which is already growing globally at a rate of 5.4% per annum. The Company is well positioned to take advantage of the baby boom over the medium to long term as one of the only ASX-listed baby food companies shipping into China.

The FUNCH® Tmall Global store continues to grow month-on-month, with sales of ~$71k in Q4 FY21, up 465.7% on Q3 FY21. The short-term focus in the region is to continue building brand awareness and education about the nutritional benefits of the Forbidden Foods products through targeted marketing campaigns. The brand awareness strategy is designed to maximise conversion for the November Double 11 shopping festival in China.

South-East Asia

In early June, the Company announced its entry into the Vietnamese market after signing an exclusive agreement with AusCom International to distribute its FUNCH® branded products to supermarkets, baby stores, pharmacies and on local eCommerce marketplaces in the region. Targeting minimum sales of $3.15 million over an initial three-year term, the Company was pleased to have already secured two purchase orders which have been since shipped to the customers.

To support the Company’s recently penned agreement with AusCom International in Vietnam, a FUNCH® Vietnam website, FUNCH® Vietnam Shopee store and FUNCH® Vietnam Facebook page have all been launched immediately capturing an audience in the region.

Innovation

In May, Forbidden Foods released a new range of 100% Australian plant-based edible baby oils targeting the emerging Baby Food Seasoning category. Enhanced by the infusion of DHA Omega-3, the macadamia and walnut oils give rise to multiple health benefits and were created in conjunction with Alibaba’s Tmall Global store’s market research and consumer demand reports. Initially selling into China and Australia, this new product innovation highlights the benefit of direct consumer engagement via e-commerce channels and strong distribution partner relationships.

Forbidden Foods is currently in the final stages of developing a unique market first, health orientated plant-based meat range of products, targeted for release in Q2 FY22. This range has been diligently formulated to cater for a variety of modern diets expected from millennial consumers such as nutrient density, low sugar, low salt, and nonallergen requirements. The company aims to distribute this straightaway through its existing sales channels and for immediate export. Accompanying the release of these products is an exciting brand refresh of Sensory Mill to ensure it continually evolves to establish itself as one of the key next generation plant-based and healthy meat alterative brands in the international market.
