4.3 Industry Analysis

Gumbo is a stew or soup which originated in south Louisiana. It consists primarily of a strong stock, meat or shellfish, a thickener, and the vegetable "holy trinity" of celery, bell peppers, and onion. Gumbo is often categorized by the type of thickener used: the vegetable okra, the spice filé powder, or the French base made of flour and fat, roux. The dish derived its name from a West African Bantu tribe's word for okra, which is "ki ngombo".
Two main varieties of gumbo exist. Creole gumbo generally contains shellfish, tomatoes, and a thickener. Cajun gumbo is generally based on a dark roux and is spicier, with either shellfish or fowl. Sausage or ham can be added to a gumbo made with either fowl or shellfish. After the base is prepared, vegetables are cooked down, and then meat is added. The dish boils for a minimum of three hours, with shellfish and some spices added near the end. After the pot is removed from heat, filé powder can be added. Gumbo is traditionally served over rice. A third variety, the meatless gumbo z'herbes is essentially a gumbo of slow-cooked greens sometimes thickened with roux.
Gumbo originated in Louisiana in the 18th century and combines ingredients and culinary practices of several cultures, including French, Spanish, West African, and Native American (Choctaw), and later influences came from Italians, Germans and other Europeans. The dish is a derivation of the French dish bouillabaisse. It was first described in 1802 and was listed in various cookbooks in the latter half of the 19th century. The dish gained more widespread popularity in the 1970s, after the United States Senate cafeteria added it to the menu in honor of Senator Allen Ellender. Chef Paul Prudhomme's popularity in the 1980s spurred further interest in gumbo.
Gumbo takes a minimum of three hours to cook, and is often simmered all day. When preparing gumbo, the okra and/or roux are cooked first. Occasionally, meat (never seafood) is browned beforehand or in the same pot as the okra, and then removed from the heat. Okra is removed from heat when it reaches the appropriate consistency, while roux remains in the pot. Seasoning vegetables are then added to the sauce and cooked down. The meat and okra are then added to the pot along with water and/or stock and boiled uncovered until the desired tenderness of the meat is reached.  Seasonings, including red, black, and white pepper, bay leaves, thyme, hot sauce, and salt, are added to taste.  According to author Cynthia Lejeune Nobles, "proper seasoning of gumbo is essential, and in Louisiana adding just the right zing is considered an art."  Because seafood cooks fairly quickly, it is not added to the pot until the end of the process. As the gumbo finishes cooking, green onions and parsley may be sprinkled on it. If desired, filé powder is added last.
Stock is a flavored water preparation. It forms the basis of many dishes, particularly soups and sauces.  Aside from chefs and enthusiastic hobby chefs and cooks, most consumers do not have the time or patience to spend hours in the kitchen to make the stock needed to make a really good gumbo even though millions enjoy the authentic taste of the Louisiana stew.
Although there are several "readymade" products on the market, there is not a readymade product that currently exists of this very popular American born dish.  COMPANY NAME BRAND is a premiere product that will become very quickly sought after item in the market by consumers.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

There is no direct competition to COMPANY NAME BRAND and not similar products exist today. 
The "competition" comes from expert chefs and gourmet companies that sell readymade broth that is more generally based; however COMPANY NAME will start by specializing in providing consumers perfectly crafted roux specifically for making an excellent gumbo dish. 

Each segment of consumers and distributors has its own buying patterns depending on its own needs. The pertaining table in 4.1, Market Segmentation, illustrates this.
