Gourmet food, beverages and hampers are becoming increasingly popular as consumers seek unique, high-quality and personalised gifting options.
This trend, fuelled by a growing appreciation for artisanal and luxury products, results in significant growth opportunities within the gift and home industry as brands showcased their products at the AGHA Gift + Home Expo earlier this month.
Ugly Duck Fine Foods
Food wastage is a rising issue in Australia. According to a 2021 study conducted by Food Innovation Australia, 7.6 million tons of food go to waste each year, 70 per cent of these foods is edible.
Many retailers reject fruits and vegetables that are not standard in size, colour or shape. Ugly Duck Fine Foods has made it its mission to combat food wastage.
“At Ugly Duck Fine Foods, we believe that food should not be wasted and we therefore source our fresh ingredients farm direct, gathering up their imperfect and surplus produce,” explains founder Michelle Mascher.
“To us, the taste and freshness of our ingredients are the only qualities that matter, odd shapes and sizes don’t.”
In its efforts, Ugly Duck Fine Foods has won prestigious awards for quality and taste. Its distinctive range of salsas and fruit pastes don’t contain any ‘nasties’ and are guaranteed to leave your customers satisfied.
