From the supply side, the overall output of wheat protein declines in the short term

From the supply side, the overall production of wheat protein has declined in recent months. Due to the further development of the global COVID-19 pandemic, curbing the spread of COVID-19 has become the focus of social groups. Manufacturers must ensure the operation of the factory, follow the guidance of the Center for Disease Control and local government agencies and public health organizations, ensure a hygienic working environment free of viruses, and ensure the health of employees and the safety of the factory area. The normal operation of the company needs to maintain an adequate supply of raw materials, ensure that production and manufacturing are not affected, and ensure smooth logistics for order delivery. This is a difficult standard for many SMEs, so the original production plan and order delivery were severely hindered. In turn, the supply chain of the entire industry cannot be operated smoothly. But for some large enterprises in the wheat protein industry, due to sufficient funds and government support, they can guarantee the supply of wheat protein during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, PureField Ingredients, the largest wheat protein producer in the United States, announced that it will operate to support the food supply in the United States. PureField Ingredients fully operated its manufacturing facility in Russell, Kansas during the COVID-19 pandemic. PureField Ingredients ensures that the company can provide reliable delivery without encountering the logistics challenges and potential supply chain disruptions faced by international companies. Tereos announced that in all of its operational areas, its relevant departments have identified its activities as part of priority areas, such as all companies in the fields of agriculture, agrifood, transportation, energy and sanitation. The consequences of the popularity of COVID-19 will not directly affect Tereos’ industrial operations. The Tereos Group’s factories operate normally and production will not be interrupted.
