Challenges Can Also Be Opportunities

August 5, 2021 by Kim Stewart

Doing business in 2021 has been a lot of things. Boring isn’t one of them. We’re currently seeing record high shipping costs, historic labor shortages, starch and sweetener shortages, another Covid-19 surge via the Delta variant, drought and wildfire threatening much of the West, and rising prices across virtually every category.

Costing and forecasting are as difficult as ever.

What will the apple and berry fruit crop look like this year? Will the drought and wildfires be game changers? Will much of the workforce return in September as has been widely speculated? Will the shipping backlog and soaring shipping costs be further exacerbated by the Delta variant? Will there be any resolution in the starch and sweetener shortages?

Times of uncertainty, like the one we find ourselves in now, are where we truly shine as your partner in business. Over the decades we’ve developed innovative purchasing strategies and costing solutions that have prepared us to face the challenges at hand and ensure that our variable costing is as competitive as any manufacturer in the industry. Whether you’re looking to reformulate or start from scratch, challenges can also be opportunities if you have the right team.
