Spur growth across the food value chain.
Food manufacturers will have their work cut out for them in the coming years. Amidst a backdrop of climate change and labour shortages, supply chains will continue to be disrupted. Companies are competing to develop and deliver new innovations in food production, storage, and distribution. Sustainability has now become a key pillar of the food industry.
Customer demand is also seeing a global shift towards increased health and environmental awareness. Examples include continued growth and demand for organic, non-genetically modified, and vegetarian foods, as well as a strong push for food manufacturers to reduce the amount of plastic packaging used across the food value chain.
Food companies must rise to the challenge of implementing these changes, while at the same time working to ensure:
Reduction of production costs
- Cost of production
- Ways of working
- Hygiene control
- Raw material acquisition
- Manufacturing cycle time
- Workforce qualification
Supply chain efficiency
- Inventory control
- Raw material standardisation
Commercial efficiency
- Commercial strategy
- Adequacy to the market
Food safety control
- Monitoring systems
- Data monitoring and analysis
Quality control
- Compliance with norms and standards
We have helped our clients rise above these challenges with our deep understanding of the intricacies of the industry, decades of experience across multiple sub-sectors, and the agility to create innovative solutions that deliver a competitive advantage.
It’s an exciting time for the industry, but also one of its most challenging. Automotive companies must contend with massive supply chain disruptions, tightening emission standards, safety requirements, and government regulations, all while trying to innovate faster than the competition.
It is uncertain how the industry will evolve, but evolution is inevitable. Staying still is not an option. Our deep, industry-proven experience in business transformation, change management, digital adoption, and data analytics can help your business navigate these changes effectively.
SECTORS
Sub-sectors In Focus
Agriculture is the bedrock of the food supply chain, providing most of the world’s food and fabrics, and crucial for economic growth.
The food retail business includes supermarkets, convenience stores, groceries, farmers’ markets, public markets, and other retail premises. The increasing consumer demand and rising disposable income is the primary factor fuelling the growth of the market.
This sector includes fishing and seafood farming businesses. Some of the main areas of concern include fleet utilisation, maintenance, processing yields, and fuel consumption.
This refers to the preparation of fresh products and the manufacture of prepared food products. Innovation in food processing technologies, the growing adoption of automation, and an upsurge in the demand for processed food are expected to be the main growth drivers for this sector.
We use this umbrella term to encompass the entire breadth of components, machines, technologies, and systems used to produce and manufacture food products. Some areas of focus include the maintenance and efficiency of food processing machinery, production capacity, and output consistency.
