Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)

Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) are products that sell quickly, at a low cost. FMCG are also known to as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG). They include beverages, medicines, toiletries, stationaries etc.

My dad introduced me to FMCG. He asked me to list some of the Fast Moving Consumer Goods I use at home in an Excel sheet and write down the company that manufactures each product, its MRP, net weight and net volume.

The manufacturer’s name is usually printed on the backside of the item, most of the time. The MRP is the Maximum Retail Price of a particular item. It’s fraudulent to charge more than the MRP. It is better to avoid these shops. Net weight or net volume is the product’s actual weight or volume excluding its packaging wherein a gross weight is the total weight including its packaging.
