Impact of major global and local events to consumer goods sector in one chart

The sector was the worst performer for 2012, tumbling 17.5%.

The Consumer Goods sector was the worst performing sector for 2012, tumbling 17.5% due mainly to CPO-related stocks and Supply Chain managers, said DBS Group Research.

"CPO prices have eased about 31% for 2012 on rising inventory. Olam, on the other hand, was affected by a negative report by Muddy Waters while Noble Group was hit by weak results. Our top pick for the CPO sector, Bumitama Agri, has done relatively well compared to its peers."

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
