Alleviating Issues in Food Industry

Food is fundamental necessities in daily life. The world population are growing so do the consumer demands. The significant issues in food industry needs to be alleviate and innovate for industrial growth. Several issues that been elaborate in previous subsection. In this chapter is an elaboration on alleviating issues in food industry. 

The food law and regulation are very specifics in meeting consumer demands and transparency. Method can be used to stabilise the issues in legislation requirements is by improving traceability and constructs it as key emphasis in food industry. This technique will legitimate food production and enables risk management to approach proactively. It will also capacitate production stage process includes the retailers and suppliers.  Labour cost changes such as wages and political can impact the industry. Thus, the solution is to diminishing the impact towards the industry by maximize the productivity and workforce efficiencies. In addition, providing employees adequate training can reduce a whole cost as it can enhance retention and career satisfaction.                                                  

Furthermore, food security purposes are to meet the dietary needs and preference. In addition, food security also having strike in product price and safety. In order to meet the challenges, the food business needs to be more observant in industrial practitioners and address the fundamental areas in products processing, stored and distribution globally. Food shortage are often in urban country such as Asian countries that less developments. In this presence, standards proliferation globally prevailed which food industry needs awareness on traditional economical and technologies interest including standard quality assurance systems. This determination is for product quality and safety as the assurance and verification can be monitored by the government following their policy guidance and regulatory compliance, (Food and Agriculture Organisation ,2022). 

 

 

Moreover, food wastage is increasing and cleaning process during treatments are unsuitable. The key factors of this issues are coming from human error and product changes.  To Human errors can be reduced by using standardized procedures and ensuring employees are fully trained professionally in this fields. In order to tackle the product changes, collaboration encouragements and embracing more forecasting models is needed. Food wastage can also reduce during production stage and pre-production stage.  Planning, Inventories levels and demands during pre-production stage will help to reduce food wastage. As during the production stage, employees should manage the machineries functionality is manageable. As the food supply chain issues, modern analytical tools utilization can embrace data-driven approach and increase the visibility. The growth of pathogens can be triggered by high temperature and causing food decays (Giannakourou & Taoukis, 2003; Gwanpua et al., 2015; Hertog et al., 2014). The dashboards are customisable and decision can be informed earlier and make changes as demands. 

Technologies been embraced in food sectors globally. The development of e-commerce presence makes food industry profitability efficiencies increase in business world universally as well. Technologies decisions has long-term impact in the business. Machineries has the system that can be specified. The ingredients usage maximisation and food safety enhancement can be obtained by technology advancement in food industry business. The beneficial of it is the advanced analytics and enhanced reporting capabilities which can be accessed by employees. In a way, it will also be boostingconsumers experience and meet their expectation aligned with the price offered.
