Because you are closely involved with these products and often find it difficult — or impossible — to obtain ex-manufacturer prices on a comparative scale across countries, a subscription to this Price Monitoring is an invaluable tool. GIRACT is well-known for its in-depth analyses of the world starch and sugar industries over the last 20 years and this publication is highly acclaimed.

Each two months, this publication provides unique global news on starches from major and regional markets that is not commonly tracked by other publications.

Giract has been studying the full spectrum of Food and Beverage ingredients for over 50 years. Either as agricultural raw material derivatives, secondary derivatives or synthesized products, demand for these ingredients generally shows stronger growth than the underlying sector due to the increase in food processing in many areas of the world. Even the west is slowly beginning to change the way food is processed, allowing some ingredient categories to grow faster than others. Hurdles such as insufficient raw material availability, outdated processing technologies, legislative barriers, or a lack of synchronicity with current consumer requirements, are hindrances to growth of certain ingredients which potentially affect supply to end-users.

Giract's Ingredients Book classifies value-added ingredients into 3 major groups: Technical, Nutritional and Blends/Intermediates, covering global markets and 7 major application sectors. In addition to subscription to the entire ingredients review, Giract offers the option to subscribe to individual ingredient groups.
