Presentation Description:

How pet food manufacturers and ingredient suppliers can capture cost savings — McArthur addresses this question: How can pet food and ingredient manufacturers find cost savings in the current inflationary market? The pet food industry, alongside human food, has not seen such price inflation in decades. Companies have been forced to make contingency supply plans in emergency situations, often placing availability over price considerations. Minx explains where costs can still be captured.
