Shortage of raw materials: a global problem for the food sector
The shortage of raw materials is an increasingly relevant challenge for the food sector. Limited quantities, high transport costs and continuously growing demand are putting the entire production chain under severe strain.
To ensure high-quality products and continuous availability, it is essential to rely on reliable suppliers, capable of efficiently managing the supply chain. Palimex, a leader in the import-export of frozen fruit and vegetables, is the ideal answer to this need.
The causes of raw material scarcity
The rise in costs and the scarcity of raw materials are the result of a combination of factors:
🌍 Geopolitical factors – Government policies influence the distribution and prices of products, regulating international trade flows.
📈 Population growth – The increase in global food demand creates constant pressure on agricultural production.
🌦 Climate change – Extreme events such as droughts and floods disrupt production cycles, reducing crop yields and increasing uncertainty over raw material availability.
In this context, many companies face logistical difficulties and rising operating costs.
