growth, is making the country’s food, beverages and tobacco industry dynamic.

With the modernization of retail sector and introduction of fast food outlets,

retail outlets along with a wide range of retail stores such as hypermarkets,
supermarkets, warehouse clubs, convenience stores and mini markets, with entrance of
