Starch industry navigating market structural changes & unpredictability. What next ?
The EU starch industry is facing an immense challenge of historically high raw material costs. From Black Sea Grain deal fallout, drought, supply chain crisis to high energy costs how is the industry navigating the perfect storm ?
High prices on wheat and corn, compounded even further now by the fallout of the Black Sea grain deal could see farmers shifting crops, challenging the supply of starch on the global market.
In late 2023, the European Commission’s proposal for a legislative framework on sustainable food systems will be published and this will impact the starch supply chain. From farming to plate EU farmers and primary food processors, like starch producers will have to invest in the necessary tools to help them achieve the sustainability and decarbonisation targets which have been set.
Indeed the starch sector is present in many aspects -from delivering high quality ingredients for the plant -based proteins markets to contributing renewable resources to EU’s adoption of a bioeconomy strategy, EU starch producers including farmers & food processors can make a significant impact !
