Wholesome and clean
THE organics and natural sector has never been stronger, with the pandemic and global uncertainties contributing to consumers’ search for authentic products that are cleaner, safer, and better for them and the environment.
In our By Association column on page 18, CEO of Australian Organics Limited Niki Ford explains how the industry is having the most
important discussion around regulation in 20 years. Contributor Fleur Michell’s showcase of leading – and
emerging – organic brands (page 20) is an indication of the strength and diversity of the local market.
The innovation we see in organics mirrors what is happening in the broader food and beverage sector. Beverage business Made Group is a prime example with its latest product ReMilk. It is impressive to find white space in the most established and traditional of liquids, milk. Head to page 30 to read about its breakthrough.
And while global events are impacting consumer behaviour, so too are they impacting business decisions, particularly when it comes to growth. Peter Taitoko from RMR Processing provides valuable insights for those considering expansion on page 36.
If you are partial to a bickie with your cup of tea or coffee, turn to page 38 and behold the behemoth that is the Arnott’s expanded distribution warehouse at its Huntingwood site in Western Sydney. The facility can hold 28,000 pallets of biscuits. So many Tim Tams.
Whatever your preference, be it organic, innovative, or an old favourite, we have you covered.
Onward.
