Let’s innovate.
Globally life isn’t getting any easier. The challenges that we were optimistic about rising to meet in 2020 have made some more resilient and others much worse off.
Two years on, the opportunities for some have been the death knell for others. This turbulent landscape has changed how business views the world and how consumers view the products served up to them.
Substantial investment in technology has been the mainstay of f&b manufacturing success stories. Ideas that seemed outlandish two years ago now look almost commonplace. The ability to collaborate and quickly adapt food production has become virtually commonplace as companies swiftly pivot to meet the mercurial COVID-19 headwind of change.
own personal brand. Food is no longer simply food, no longer about consumption. Instead, brands are expected to create connections and reflect consumers’ personal and social beliefs and values.
Next-generation plant-based foods, nutrition, and sustainability will play an even more significant role this year. A growing percentage of consumers believe plant-based options are healthier and better for the planet. This year will continue to see the rise in plant-based innovation and sustainability. Expect to see a surge in plant-based products on shelf as manufacturers fine-tune the taste and mouthfeel of plant-based products.
Tania Walters Publisher
Depending on where you look and which research data you follow, there seems to be a fair consensus, which we have summed up in our top three to watch.
At the forefront of innovation is technology and never more prevalent than in the f&b sector. It has contributed to the arrival on shelf of a wide range of new products such as cellularbased foods and protein derivatives.
Expect to see more tech to table innovations as the year progresses.
Personalisation is the buzzword of 2022 as consumers consider their food reflective of their
This year the challenges and opportunities food trends present are focused but do offer unlimited potential for creative, innovative brands to take advantage. COVID-19 pandemic, its threat and challenges to everyday life has left its mark on consumers. This is reflected in just how engaged consumers are in their food and beverage choices. Consumers will continue to find a balance between healthy and nutritious, good for the planet, and great tasting as they focus on personal health in the year ahead.
The job ahead for f&b manufacturers is to meet these consumer demands in-store and through growing e-commerce platforms.

Never have consumers been so engaged with what they eat and drink.
The COVID-19 pandemic led consumers to refocus on mindful eating and plant-based proteins, with a renewed focus on mental health, immune support, functionality, and sustainability. The pandemic also drove unprecedented gains for e-commerce and investment in technology, creating new opportunities for traceability and better connecting consumers to food origins.
Euromonitor’s 2021 survey found 51 percent of global consumers rated their current eating habits as healthy or extremely healthy. This trend transcends age, income, and geography. Post COVID this definition of healthy has changed to include not only physical wellbeing, but also increasing mental wellbeing, creating
opportunities around immune support, gut health, and mood management.
The line between food and supplements has also blurred, with consumers zeroing in on the functional claims products make, while special diets such as Keto continue to be popular. Governments have also stepped up in this space regarding product labelling and nutrition scores.
This trend continues to be driven by demand for more sustainable and ethical food practises, as well as health concerns as consumers become more aware of the health benefits of plant-based diets.
This trend has been accelerated by the pandemic as people double-down on healthy eating. Global sales of ‘free from meat’ products jumped by 12 percent in 2020 (Euromonitor International). Cell-based meat is also quickly emerging as a potential trend frontier as prices for these products continue to drop.
In December 2020, California-based Eat Just, which develops and markets plant-based alternatives to conventionally produced egg products, created lab-grown chicken that became the first lab-grown meat to receive regulatory approval in Singapore. As these plant-based options become more widespread, the competition with traditional dairy and
meat products will only intensify, particularly around the relatively “processed” image of these alternatives that conflict with existing clean label trends.
This explores how trends in food origins and security are converging with unprecedented investment in food technology, e-commerce, and delivery.
The pandemic put local sourcing and food security back on the map as supply chain issues and concerns with food safety were magnified. At the same time, COVID-19 led to massive gains for e-commerce and tremendous investment in technology, automation, and supply chain digitisation.
When Euromonitor asked global retailers about the two most important long-term shifts to come from this pandemic, the top responses were online shopping and more locally sourced products. The intersection of these trends is creating a new era of transparency across the entire farm to fork journey.
This has disruptive implications for food supply chains and the broader consumer path to purchase, and as brands face a rapidly evolving competitive landscape, they must adapt with new methods of brand storytelling, pivoting to local sourcing, and exploring new routes to market, including direct to consumer or marketplace platforms.
International demand for New Zealand wine shows no sign of slowing, with export value reaching $599 million in the first quarter of the new export year, up 9 percent on the previous year. The demand for New Zealand wine is also reflected in an increase in price per litre, with the September quarter 2021 average value up 4 percent from September 2020. “The ongoing demand for New Zealand wine has proven that the distinctive flavours, quality and sustainability of our wines increasingly resonate with consumers around the world. It is encouraging to see that during these uncertain times, consumers continue to choose a premium product they know that they can trust,” noted Philip Gregan, CEO of New Zealand Winegrowers.

The operational stock of industrial robots hit a new record of about 3 million units worldwide – increasing by 13 percent on average each year (2015-2020). “Transformation for robotic automation is picking up speed across traditional and new industries. More and more companies are realising the numerous advantages robotics provides for their businesses,” expressed Milton Guerry, President of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

Are Kiwis paying too much for a cup of coffee? No, they’re probably not paying enough. When you take the time to consider what goes into the daily brew, you soon realise there’s a lot in that cup. “Coffee is a deceivingly simple product - beans, water and maybe some milk. However, add on the rising cost of freight, education on how to make the coffee, wages, equipment, power, rent, milk, the vessel you drink from and beans themselves, and it starts to paint a different picture,” commented Roz Cattell, president of the New Zealand Specialty Coffee Association (NZSCA).

Figures from Statistics NZ show alcohol beverages available for consumption has remained relatively unchanged on the same period last year, indicating New Zealanders are continuing the trend of moderation. “We’re changing how we are drinking. Trends like premiumisation are about choosing a quality drink that may cost a little more and then taking a ‘sip and savour’ approach to enjoy the flavours and the experience of their drink in a slow and relaxed way. The health and wellbeing trend seen globally and in New Zealand, particularly amongst young adults, is influencing demand for ‘better for me’ drinks, such as zero-alcohol beers, lighter wines, low-alcohol seltzers, and lower carb and sugar options,” said NZ Alcohol Beverages Council (NZABC) Executive Director, Bridget MacDonald.

Faced with challenges in securing their usual or desired products and services, Backup Planners are looking for ways to purchase similar items or finding creative solutions to obtain alternatives. Supply chain shortages are forcing businesses to pivot and provide new solutions for customers to access products and services.
Due to limited resources, consumers are struggling to secure their go-to products. As social occasions and discretionary spending return, consumers want to buy new clothes, invest in home renovations, or simply enjoy coffee on the go. However, the effects of COVID-19, particularly disrupted supply chains and staff shortages, exacerbate the issue.
Backup Planners are getting ahead of the crowd, taking control, and using technology to move to the front of the queue when supplies are threatened. Certain consumers are relying on subscription services or community group buying to secure deliveries.
When thwarted, Backup Planners are reverting to the next best option, seeking alternatives and in some cases, delaying purchases or changing shopping habits. Two extremes are influencing shopping behaviours of Backup Planners—paying a premium or switching to cost-effective options, such as buying second-hand or renting.
Product availability drives profit. Supply shortages can weaken customer loyalty. Companies must be able to secure the
necessary materials to manufacture products whilst providing exceptional service.
Businesses can leverage opportunities where others fail to deliver. Rental or refurbished products give consumers additional options and access to alternatives. Backup Planners may also pay more to get first access to their preferred products. Implementing exclusive or presale items at a premium could entice these consumers and drive revenue.
Mobile apps that enable digital waitlists and
queuing allow consumers to secure their place in line and help businesses control traffic. Additionally, direct-to-consumer services can bring products straight to the consumer’s door. Companies need to invest in local sourcing and automation to overcome shortages. In the interim, prices may need to increase to help compensate. Splitting costs with other players to buy ingredients or components in bulk could be an option to ensure continuous supply.
PepsiCo launched two direct-to-consumer sites in 2020. Consumers can order specialised bundles, such as “Rise & Shine” and “Workout & Recovery” on PantryShop.com or purchase individual items on Snacks.com from PepsiCo’s food and beverage portfolio.
By late 2022, supply chains should start to stabilise and access to products should revert to pre-COVID-19 levels. Yet, new shopping habits will dictate how Backup Planners discover and select products, from locally sourced to direct-to-consumer brands to subscription services. Localisation and optimisation will become the norm.
Companies and distributors should use data to improve supply chain visibility, hone operations and rethink investments.
The board of Potatoes NZ Inc. (PNZ) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Lincoln University to launch a research partnership which includes a Centre of Excellence for Potato Research and Extension, based in Canterbury.
Lincoln University Associate Professor of Plant Science, Clive Kaiser, will be the establishment Director for the Centre of Excellence for Potato Research and Extension, and he said the new Centre will be extension-led and grower-centric and believes it will be a game changer for the potato industry.
The fundamental tenet of the concept of ‘extension’ is to extend the knowledge gained through research, typically conducted by universities and research centres, to growers in the field.
“The research conducted at the Centre will be focused on working with potato growers to identify and understand the problems confronting them and to devise solutions to
those problems,” noted Kaiser.
“The solutions will be developed through discovering new knowledge, as well as by using existing knowledge in new ways, and will be underpinned by strong local, national and international collaborations. This cooperative, collaborative research approach will have immediate, significant and long-lasting benefits for NZ growers.”
CEO of PNZ, Chris Claridge said solving grower and industry problems was the key purpose, with the partnership enabling PNZ to do so more effectively. The New Zealand Potato industry is valued at over $1 billion per annum, with 175 growers across the country and multiple frozen chip and crisp processors.
“We’re very excited to be involved with
Lincoln University, especially with their track record in agricultural research and education,” added Stuart Wright, the Chair of PNZ’s board.
As a specialist land-based university, Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki Lincoln University continues to play an important role in shaping a more productive and sustainable future for Aotearoa New Zealand.
“In signing this MOU and partnering with PNZ to establish a Centre of Excellence in Potato Research and Extension based at our Lincoln campus, we will be contributing the University’s considerable expertise and resources to support the potato industry to drive future success and address its major challenges,” noted Vice-Chancellor Professor Grant Edwards.
“Lincoln University is committed to building collaborative partnerships with industry and research providers to achieve innovative and sustainable solutions to some of the world’s most pressing land-based challenges, and this determination aligns completely with PNZ’s ambition to build a secure and sustainable future for Aotearoa’s potato growing industry.”

In the food industry, temperature measurements are part of the daily routine. The quality of food products can only be tested and guaranteed by precise measurements. The Testo range of measuring instruments, available from NZ authorized distributor Eurotec Ltd, can carry out spot-check measurements in seconds.
Whether in the transport and storage of foods, in restaurants or in large kitchens, wherever temperature needs to be recorded, Testo measures up and helps you keep compliant. With Testo, you can ensure the following areas of your business are performing at their peak. Food industry instrumentation for incoming goods Every item that enters your premises should undergo rigorous checks in order to ensure its quality and safety. Whether that be your weekly delivery of fresh fish, or the daily top up of your fruit and vegetable stocks, food can spend a long time in transit from the wholesaler before it arrives at your door. The Testo 831 infrared thermometer is perfect for
dealing with incoming goods, as it allows you to carry out quick and precise temperature measurements of whole pallets of food and smaller individual products from a distance.
Monitor the cold chain and ensure food safety. Perishable foods are sensitive to changes in temperature. While fruit and vegetables ripen quickly and barely make it to the supermarket if they are stored and transported in conditions that are too warm, bacteria can multiply in meat and dairy products when heated. These, in turn, can cause serious illnesses. Therefore, there must never be any gaps in the cold chain, but this can only be ensured through continuous monitoring. The Testo 184 series of Cool Chain Temperature
Loggers can measure the temperature and humidity of your goods while in transit. With up to 150 days of battery life, you’ll be able to keep track of goods over long stretches, measure and analyse temperature and humidity data - arming you with information to implement changes when needed backed by data.

If you import, grow, manufacture, process, store, transport, or sell food and beverage products, you need to meet food safety requirements, including registering with New Zealand Food Safety or your local council.
NEW ZEALAND FOOD SAFETY (a business unit of the Ministry for Primary Industries) is urging owners/managers of all existing New Zealand businesses that trade in food, to find out if they need to register a plan or programme. This includes transportation, food service and food manufacturing businesses. Even if food is only a part of a business’s activity, registration may still be needed.
New Zealand Food Safety’s Director of Food Regulation, Paul Dansted, says registration helps to ensure food is safe and suitable for customer use, and provides an important link in the chain to assist in tracing food products if a problem is identified.
“Food rules are more flexible than they once were, when they used to focus on the place food was made and facilities provided,” Dr Dansted says.
“These days, there is a more common sense, risk-based approach to food safety – which puts food businesses in the driver’s seat when it comes to managing any food hazards that might arise.”
New Zealand Food Safety also made it easier with a single registration that can cover multiple sites, which provides greater value and flexibility.
Unregistered businesses risk fines, delays, prosecution and recalls
If you trade in food, you need to register as a food business (with a few exceptions) under either the Food Act 2014, Animal Products Act 1999 or Wine Act 2003.
• grow horticultural crops;
• manufacture fruit, vegetable, meat, fish, poultry, egg and dairy products;
• process harvested foods (such as grain, herbs or spices, nuts and seeds);
• brew, ferment, distil or manufacture alcoholic or non-alcoholic (inc. vinegar and malt extract) beverages;
• prepare, serve or retail food (whether from a shop, a market stall, online and via social media);
• transport or store food (such as providing a food storage and distribution service),
• import food or beverages for sale (including
ingredients); and/or
• ‘give’ food away to promote your business.
“For manufacturers, what you need to do depends on the type of food you make or sell,” Dr Dansted says. “Some foods and manufacturing processes pose fewer food safety risks than others.”
The composition of your products and associated labelling must meet the rules in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, if sold in New Zealand or Australia.
The majority of food sold in New Zealand shops must be labelled. Labelling and composition information, in English, helps consumers to make an informed decision about what to buy, whether it meets their dietary needs, and, if they have a known food allergy, it can help them choose foods that do not contain that food allergen. Incorrect labelling is a major cause of recalls.
To help, New Zealand Food Safety has produced labelling guides, including for hemp seed products, alcoholic drinks and honey –available at www.foodsafety.govt.nz/toolkit.
Some sectors where importers are not properly registered are: processed food; health and dietary supplements; alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages; fresh fruit and vegetables; grains; seeds; and nuts.
If you need to register, start the registration process right away! The good news is that it’s easy to do. Go to www.foodsafety.govt. nz/myfoodrules and complete the online questionnaire to find out:
• which plan or programme you need to use;
• how to register your food business;
• who can verify (check) your business.
“If you are already registered, you can use My Food Rules to check if you are on the right plan or programme for your business,” Dr Dansted says. “There could be a better option.”
If you don’t register, New Zealand Food Safety and local councils may take enforcement action (ranging from educational advice, warnings and instant fines, through to harsher penalties including preventing your business operating and prosecution).
If you import food, and are not correctly registered, your consignment may get stopped at the border and may not be allowed into New Zealand, it may be delayed, or your foods may be recalled. Either way, this will cost you more.
Your customers may also refuse to accept your goods or use your services if you don’t comply with food safety requirements.
• Be registered as a food importer with New Zealand Food Safety or use an agent who is registered. For details, go to www. foodsafety.govt.nz/register-as-a-foodimporter
• Check that the food you are planning to import for sale is safe and suitable.
• Know the ingredients in the food so that Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code rules can be met, such as correctly labelling the presence of allergens.
• Ensure the food is stored and transported safely.
• Keep good records to show how you’ve sourced and kept food safe.
• Have a plan in place to recall any food you have imported, knowing who you sourced it from and sold it to.
• Comply with other New Zealand laws, including the Biosecurity Act 1993, and Customs and Excise Act 2018.
