Food Industry Enters Production Red Zone

The decline in people’s purchasing power has led to the elimination of snacks from the household consumption basket. When there is no money to buy, production accumulates and sales do not occur. For example, after the 12-day war, numerical production decreased by about 30%, and this figure is even higher for some units. Therefore, factories are maintaining their activities “tooth and nail”, but they are not far from a complete stop.

On the other hand, even when production is possible, the fear of extreme price fluctuations has led to a kind of “self-censorship” in decision-making. Factories are forced to proceed with caution. Many have production orders, but are unable to continue due to the lack of raw materials such as oil.
