Restraints 

• Price Volatility of Raw Materials: Volatile prices of raw materials like wheat, maize, and other grains significantly affect the profitability of flour producers. In 2022, the Russia-Ukraine conflict caused significant global wheat supply chain disruptions, increasing manufacturers’ costs. These fluctuations pose continuing challenges to maintaining stable production costs and market prices. 

• Supply Chain Disruptions: The commercial flour market faces significant challenges due to vulnerabilities in the global supply chain, impacting the procurement and distribution of grains. Persistent logistics issues and geopolitical tensions further exacerbate these supply chain disruptions, complicating maintaining a steady flow of raw materials and posing ongoing difficulties for flour producers. 

• Stringent Food Safety Regulations and Compliance: The commercial flour market faces significant challenges due to stringent food safety regulations and compliance standards. In 2023, the European Union updated its food additives and fortification rules, impacting production practices. These changes necessitate adherence to stricter guidelines, posing hurdles for new market entrants and requiring existing producers to continually adapt to maintain compliance.
