The country has been recording a steady economic growth due to the increase of investments activities that have been witnessed in the past ten years. The cider market in Turkey recorded exponential growth during the period under review (2012-2016). However, the growth is expected to slump over the forecast period (2016-2021). South Africa Although classified as a middle class economy, the gap between the rich and the poor in South Africa is significantly wide.

The cider market in South Africa is currently experiencing a boom. The purchasing power in this country is fairly impressive. Consequently, the personal care industries have experienced a boom in South Africa hence illustrating a picture of a stable market.

Nevertheless, Indonesia can be the ideal international destination for the launch of the Sweet Rose Cider. South Africa South Africa has very strong institutions including an independent judiciary.

It is therefore relevant to launch the Sweet Rose Cider in Indonesia. The cost of production is significantly lower than in the United States due to low cost of labor.
