From five to three years ago the company had a constant sales and growth. They had balance sales, but during the 1999 to present there was a decline. There was decline due to the Asian crisis making the company change its plans and its factory been transferred to Thailand. Due to the high wage rate in the Philippines, The Company also removes some of its employees. The company also changes its primary or sole distributorship in the Philippines. Transferring the distributorship from Quelling distributor to JDK PHIL.
Making a great change in the whole marketing plans. If the Asian crisis will continue the company will remain stagnant in its growth. The many will also expand try to expand its product lines to guarantee the customer satisfaction for the company and their products and also have to go on cost cutting plans. But if it should improve; the Philippine economy the company will gain its post making the lives of Filipinos better by giving them Jobs. 2.

Significance of the Study/ Learning/ Recommendation: The Kraft Foods is a big company that hits the business world. That's why we find this company better to research and have a study on it.
Due to the experiences of the company through the years we say that it is a reliable company to study and learn from its capabilities and products. The Kraft has so many products that it involves so many household food items designed to satisfy its customers in every walk of life.But we only selected two of their products for our study; the products were Tang instant drinks and the famous Ore cookies. We find the two products interesting that's why we choose the products for this study due to its many surprising details and why do consumers sought for them. The significance of our studies is to find the products potentials, their processing, where it came from and where the target market is.
For us to have a deeper understanding of a certain company and in business. For us also to know their data years ago, if that certain product gets a big income or if it clicks to the consumers or buyers.We learned what are the weaknesses, strengths, advantages, market strategies, market segment, product lines sources, technological and economic advantages that can be contributed to our country. We learned that the company is proportioning the increase of production volume, distribution and production sales rather than the last years records of sales and production. The company also plans to hire and deploy more supervisors to one of their sub-distributors in Mindanao to alp train more people and supervise them.
We recommend that to the products that we have studied to improve their production rate. To increase the activities within the company to promote the welfare of the products and increase the funds for both R and the marketing people. Help the tertiary outlets to be able to increase their capital; to be able to cover more areas for larger sales. Hire more merchandisers to be able to maintain constant supply and delivery of the products in every stores and outlets. Increase the promotions for Ore Mindanao.
Product sampling can also increase the sales growth of the Ore cookies.
