What challenges does the food industry supply chain face?

External challenges

1. 1? Upstream? Facing the adjustment of suppliers, as far as I know, some raw materials of food enterprises are customized, such as flavors and fragrances; These suppliers bring certain challenges to the supplier management of enterprises;

1.2? Downstream? In the face of increasingly fierce market competition, the core competitiveness of enterprises is always erratic, and the customer needs are varied, so it is difficult for the original large-scale production to adapt to the current market demand;

Internal challenges

1. 1? Research and development? R&D constantly innovates and breaks through the opposite market demand, so that quality is sacrificed in reducing costs, which leads to the rapid upgrading of internal products and the backlog of inventory, which brings pressure to the survival of enterprises;

1.2? Production? At present, most production enterprises are still labor-intensive, and the rising labor cost also brings about the rising supply chain cost;

1.3? Logistics? The logistics distribution mode of food industry is single, and most enterprises still stay in the mode of picking and returning materials. The logistics management of supply chain is difficult, which is constantly consuming value and increasing costs.

1.4? Purchasing? For multi-variety and small-batch procurement, the procurement staff failed to change their ideas in time, and always thought that the procurement quantity was the only magic weapon to reduce the price, which led to the procurement management unable to adapt to the procurement requirements under the current supply chain in time;

Product challenges? At present, once the products in the domestic food industry make a breakthrough in innovation, they will be imitated by competitors. To create a high-quality product without a brand requires the transformation of the entire supply chain to survive, but the question is, are enterprises ready? In addition, food safety has been paid more and more attention. How to successfully consume products with short life cycle in the market and reduce the management of procurement, logistics, production, distribution, sales and downstream dealers will bring great challenges.
