In the feed and pet food industries, the conditions for both work and the market are shifting quickly, making stability a distant goal. Factors like global population growth, economic fluctuations, and climate change contribute to the unstable supply of raw materials and frequent price changes. As the Head of Nutrition, sourcing ingredients isn't just a job—it's a daily struggle to find and secure vital components for production. Choosing what to purchase can be challenging due to the rapidly changing prices and availability of ingredients. This is stressful, and one approach to tackle it is by finding an efficient and speedy management solution.
Understanding the challenges ahead is half the battle when it comes to finding solutions.
Procuring raw materials poses numerous obstacles, which can vary depending on the production process and the individual nutritionist. However, there are common issues that nutritionists in both feed and pet food sectors face. Here are the primary challenges:
-
Fluctuations in ingredient prices and availability: The unpredictable nature of the market makes it difficult to accurately forecast ingredient costs and their availability.
-
Logistical challenges and disruptions: Delivery delays and operational issues such as problems with storage facilities can disrupt every nutritionist’s carefully planned production schedules.
