However, as the Spanish governmentappears to have recognised, this is only likely to be possible if a large numberof small- and medium-sized enterprises, which make up the bulk of Spain's foodindustry, survive the current downturn. A spokesman for FIAB has revealed that Spain's food exports increased by 15% inthe first 10 months of 2008 and we expect Spain's food and drink exports tooutpace its imports over the next five years. There are around 38,000food-processing plants in Spain, but the industry association La FederaciónEspañola de Industrias de Alimentación y Bebidas (FIAB) has warned that manysmall companies are struggling with high debts and need support to be able toexport and grow.

TheEUR3bn aid package will be provided by the government-backed state creditinstitute Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO), which provides financial backingto small- and medium-sized businesses and also provides financial support intimes of economic crisis or natural disaster. This drop in demand for Champagnecan be contrasted with 2007 when exports increased by 7.3% and set a new record.Meanwhile, there is also good news for other less resilient parts of the foodand drink industry with the Spanish government announcing that it will provideannual aid of EUR1bn for the Spanish food sector for the next three years. This can be compared to Champagne exports, which fell by 4.8%in value terms in 2008 according to industry association ComitéInterprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne (CIVC). Growth over the period was driven by increased demand for bulk tablewines - which Spain is well placed to accommodate and reflects the economicclimate - and by growing demand for Spanish sparkling wine and Cava. BetweenJanuary and September 2008 exports of sparkling wine and Cava increased by 36.6%to reach EUR293mn. Perhaps the clearest example of this trend has been the growth in demand forsparkling Spanish wine, including Cava, at a time when sales of its moreexpensive French cousin, Champagne, have been falling Spanish wine exports overthe nine months reached EUR1.4bn (US$1.bn) in value and 1.28bn litres in volumeterms. TheSpanish Central Board for Duties and Special Taxes has announced that Spanishwine exports were up by 12.7% in value terms and 14.8% in volume terms in thefirst nine months of 2008.

The industry has been boosted by the valuecredentialsof Spanish wine, which have become increasingly important during the economicdownturn. However, the Spanish government has recognised that some small andmedium sized producers may need financial help to make it through the downturn. The Spanish wine sector is one surprising beneficiary from the downturn. The food and drinksectors have so far proven to be relatively resilient, thanks to their defensivepositioning.
