31 May 2021 --- Organic remains a key positioning on the market for natural ingredients. Among recent developments within the space, suppliers are observing a trend toward ready-to-use compounds for instant organic powders. In Europe, activists are pushing back at a new proposal to “weaken rules” on genetic engineering. Speaking to FoodIngredientsFirst, key suppliers weigh in on the existing challenges involved in organic cultivation while offering recommendations on how to stimulate growth for a sector that is generally challenged by high costs and supply inconsistencies.“A major driver of organic is consumers’ desire for a greater degree of transparency into what goes in,” says Carsten Granso, business unit head of Sternchemie, a German supplier for organic lecithin and MCT oil.“More accurately, it is about knowing what doesn’t go into the cultivation, harvesting and processing of organic ingredients and products, and having a full record of the chain of custody.”
