What is your single largest challenge when:
A.) Sourcing ingredients for a new project?
...and/or
B.) Diversifying your supply chain for ingredients that you currently purchase?

Thank you Regis for your Comments.

With respect to the premixes think there was a misunderstanding because we are going to sell as a food supplement is the wet petfood without premix, ie to mix with dry food as a reward or special physiological states of the animal.

We will going to use flexible packanging.

Hello Juan !
I think that you will have difficulties to give premix as supplement to dogs and cats. They will not eat it, because not enough palatable. You should import adequate premix for wet petfoods.
You are right, in West Europe, the packaging trend for wet petfoods are pouches, which are flexible and less heavy than cans.

Good night:

I am writing from Colombia and I am interested in your opinion on various topics related to the production of wet pet food:

1 - We have limitations to ensure adequate premixes for wet petfood so we decided that we will not include premixes and we will sell the product as a supplement. What do you think about this decision?

2 - We believe that products should be packed in flexible packaging and not in cans and that is the market trend. What do you think about this?

Thank you for your colaboration.
