Reeling in succes in an ever-changing world
New regulations, labor shortages, and environmental concerns are just some of the key issues faced by the meat and fish industry every day.
Prioritizing innovation, automation, and digitalization throughout your operations and business model can address these requirements and result in a competitive advantage.

Challenges for the industry
- Strict regulations for the industry
Both domestically and internationally, the standards meat and fish producers must comply with are increasingly complex. Benchmarks are set by customers, health organizations, and the EU Green deal (e.g., EUDR). These requirements now also consider various origin and packing requirements, making the timely and correct flow of information throughout the value chain more important.
- Larger demand for sustainable meat and meat alternatives
Keeping or expanding your market share increasingly depends on diversifying your product portfolio. Vegetarian and vegan alternatives are in demand, driving traditional producers to invest in new product development.
- Increased cost of production
Labor, raw materials, and even animal feed prices are rising, impacting product costs. Efficient production processes and continuous evaluation are vital to keep your company’s bottom line stable and competitive.
