Food Service

The food service industry is one of the most demanding industries.

Some of the challenges facing the food service industry include:

Time challenges: Customer demands must be met on time.

Limited supply-flow visibility: Supply-flow visibility can be limited because the tracking of land freight can be costly.

Low margins mean that costs must be kept as low as possible.

Consumer demand changes frequently: Supply must meet the varying demand, otherwise shortage or waste can occur.

Despite the challenges, the food service industry is a major industry. Regionally, more than 80% of food is imported. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) predicts the region population to reach 50 million by 2020, with increasing per capita spending on food. In response to these growing numbers, private sector companies worldwide have increased their imports to the region. As a preferred import/export partner, STI offers market responsive solutions for the food industry.
