"The distinguishing feature of two brand collaborations is that in a merger one brand strengthens the other, and each participant gets an advantage (a direct competitor's collaboration is impossible). Also, the two brands must focus on collaboration and joint problem-solving. To successfully promote our RISE brand, we fix products according to certain characteristics for one retail chain, jointly brand products, customise goods for the retail chain, and conduct cross-marketing on joint terms."
"More and more additives produced from natural raw materials are appearing on the ingredients market. They are based on biotechnological processes of fermentation and microbial synthesis. Additives can imitate different tastes, smells, colours and many other properties. In addition, they can increase the biological value of the product and be part of complex food additives."
"Increased delivery times and "expensive" logistics have had a direct impact on the growth of the cost of delivered goods - food ingredients. The unstable EU environment is pushing European consumers to build substantial inventories of food ingredients
from China. These two factors have led to supplier disruptions and shortages of food ingredients, as well as high volatility in the cost of food ingredients. Creating a digital food product profile will help the manufacturer survive this period."
