News: BFC Beston Global Food says it acquires AQUAessence, page-12

I have to disagree with you RandomK and also with Jeslyn who has posted 3 posts up from you RandomK under a different thread.

From my experience this water market should not be underestimated and in fact i had mentioned the aspect and potential of exporting water a few months ago on this board.
It will be a huge market and I already know of some who sea freight spring water from Australia right now.
The water will very likely need to be shipped in "reflective goon bags" like wine casks and just as casks of water can be bought in Australian supermarkets, the Chinese markets will be very big provided BFC already know the shipping methods etc.
If they intend to ship bottled water then i assume the water will need to be in glass bottles and not plastic.
It is very likely they will ship in 5 and 10 litre casks and onto supermarket shelves.
The Chinese in the large cities do not trust the drinking water and most places have the dispenser with the large plastic container upside down on a stand but i do not think that these bottles could not be shipped to Asia from Australia for health reasons.

I nearly fell over when i learned the price this water is fetching in China and it seems that currently, because of short supply, only the wealthy can afford to buy it.

A good buy by BFC and let's keep the announcements rolling now. The Blue Lake water will be a winner.
