NESTLE SA has "particular opportunities" for growth in India and China, the company's next Chief Executive Officer Paul Bulcke said in an interview with Finanz & Wirtschaft, without elaborating.

Latin America also has potential for growth, Bulcke told the Swiss newspaper. "In Latin America, more and more people are gaining access to Nestle products because of their rising buying power," Bulcke was quoted as saying. That region is a "growth platform" for Ralston Purina, the company's pet food business, he said.
