BUZZ-Artificial meat casings: growth set to recover - Berenberg

** Berenberg forecasts growth recovery for artificial meat casings industry and sees 3 pct industry CAGR to 2020

** Brokerage says future growth lies in emerging markets and identifies Asia-Pacific and Latin America as the two key regions for organic growth in the next few years

** Upgrades Viscofan (+2.5%) to "buy" from "hold" as it believes co will emerge as ultimate structural industry winner, largely at expense of smaller players

** Analysts cite Viscofan (LSE: 0MKW.L - news) 's manufacturing footprint, more than 50 pct sales exposure to emerging markets and diversified product portfolio

** Brokerage initiates Devro (-3.3%) with "sell", points to unattractive sales exposure to slowing developed markets, weak market positions and sub-optimal manufacturing footprint in emerging markets
