Instant coffee giant Food Empire shifts focus to Asia, brews up expansion plans

FOOD Empire will be deepening its roots in South-east Asia and Central Asia, as the instant-coffee maker looks to brew up the next wave of growth.

The mainboard-listed company intends to ramp up its investments in these regions, banking on their relative economic stability and burgeoning consumer markets.
