Mastering the challenges of cereal production
Cereal production involves overcoming several challenges. The most critical factor is the quality of raw materials such as oats, wheat, or corn, with proper storage and protection from contamination playing a key role. In later production stages—including storage, cleaning, milling, shaping, and roasting—precise technology is essential to achieve the desired texture and shelf life. Accurate dosing of additives such as vitamins or flavorings also remains a constant challenge. In addition, all regulatory requirements must be met. Strict hygiene protocols and compliance with food safety standards such as HACCP are therefore indispensable.
Market trends require recipe adjustments
Gluten-free and reduced-sugar products are in high demand. Producers must continuously adapt their recipes to keep pace with these trends.
Sustainability as a key challenge
The pressure to use sustainable ingredients and packaging is increasing. At the same time, there is a growing expectation to reduce waste and resource consumption.
Innovation and efficiency secure competitiveness
Producers must develop innovative solutions to remain competitive. Economic and efficient production is essential in achieving this.
