DISTRIBUTION
OVERCOMING
Pet food processors wishing to distribute their products
around the world must understand potential stumbling blocks.
By Richard Rowlands | petfoodprocessing@sosland.com
T
The increasing popularity of pet ownership has sparked
a surge in demand for pet food products. As a result, the
need for diverse and high-quality pet foods has reached
unprecedented levels worldwide. While this creates vast
opportunities for pet food processors, venturing into
global markets comes with its own set of challenges.
" Entering an international pet food market requires a
comprehensive understanding of trends, regulations and
market conditions, " said Reece Croucher, vice president,
group sales operations, digitalization and sustainability,
DKSH, Zurich, Switzerland. " Successful market entry
often involves meticulous planning, market research,
quality control and a flexible approach to adapt to the
unique demands of each market. "
The global pet food market has varied rules across
countries, making it a complex field to navigate.
" When it comes to international pet food trade, processors
must be acutely aware of market-specific regulatory
and certification requirements such as import permits,
marketing, labeling and ingredient restrictions. These
requirements can significantly impact market access and
product compliance, " Croucher added. " Furthermore, understanding
the intricacies of customs duties and taxes is
vital, as variations in these factors can have a significant
effect on different factors such as pricing. "
Regulatory obstacles
One of the most significant challenges faced by pet food
companies is navigating the varying regulations and requirements
across different countries.
" Different countries have varying regulations regarding
the ingredients allowed in pet food, which requires
a clear understanding of what those requirements are
for each market one is seeking to access, " said Gina
Tumbarello, senior director of global strategies, policy
and trade,
the American Feed Industry Association
(AFIA), Arlington, Va. " However, unclear or unnecessary
regulatory barriers are oftentimes rooted more in
politics than science. "
One example of these challenges is the US-China trade
relationship, which has been characterized by complexities
and evolving regulatory frameworks over the past
decade. This has caused disruptions in the pet food market,
impacting both manufacturers and consumers.
