Do you know how removable prefabricated warehouses for the agri-food industry help this sector to face its great challenges and requirements? At VALL we have it very clear. Because we see it in practice through our clients.
The peculiarities of the agri-food industry mean that its storage and production are not the same throughout the year. Nor are they identical every year, in most of their subsectors. This, together with the challenges of the European and global agri-food industry in 2022 and looking to the years to come, means that it needs effective and immediate solutions. In this sense, the removable prefabricated warehouses for the agri-food industry are a real solution that contributes to their daily success.
Removable prefabricated warehouses for the agri-food industry
Specific storage conditions in removable prefabricated warehouses for the agri-food industry. The agri-food industry requires storage conditions that guarantee the perfect condition of the raw materials.
-
They must resist climatic conditions such as humidity due to rain, snow or fog, extreme heat or extreme cold, which can affect the quality of the stored raw material.
-
Both to its state and its suitability for human consumption and at an organoleptic level.
-
They must have a high degree of sealing and insulation that guarantees the absence of humidity that generates mold and deteriorates the stored raw material.
-
And to avoid pests.
Temporality and specific needs for storage of raw materials in the agri-food industry.
A significant percentage of agri-food production corresponds to products that use raw materials harvested at a specific time of year. Buying them when they are in season makes their price lower. Especially if you buy in the area where the industry is located, also saving on transportation. This requires the storage of raw materials in perfect conditions. What does it mean in practice? That storage space needs are variable throughout the year. During harvest time they are larger. And, as it is used, they are reduced. In this sense, the removable prefabricated buildings for the agri-food industry to buy or rent are a very profitable solution. And also industrial tents for the agri-food sector. Because they are used when necessary. And then they can be disassembled and leave free space saving costs.
Storage of finished product in the agri-food industry.
Finished product storage needs can also be uneven throughout the year. Some of these products have a season in which they sell better. For example Christmas or Easter sweets. Or the food products that have a higher percentage of consumption at a specific time of year. For example, ice cream, cold creams and juices in summer and dehydrated soups in winter. For variable storage and logistics needs, removable prefabricated buildings for the agri-food industry are the perfect solution.
Processes of the agri-food industry
The processes of manufacturing food products in the agri-food industry are not always constant throughout the year. For the same reasons indicated in the previous point. Some of these processes can be carried out in removable prefabricated buildings that allow quick and cost-effective commissioning. Without having to invest in large works for temporary use. Main challenges of the agri-food industry in 2022 that the use of removable prefabricated buildings contributes to solving. Can removable prefabricated buildings for the agri-food industry contribute to solving the great challenges of the sector? Of course yes. You just need to know these great challenges to see them clearly.
Production, transport and storage of food in wars and armed conflicts.
The threat of wars in 2022 is a reality in more countries than we imagine. Some of them are big food producers, like Ukraine and its grain production. Others may affect international shipping lanes, such as the potential conflict in Taiwan and in the China Sea. What does this imply? Among other issues:
-
The opening of new transport routes that can modify the needs of logistics centers of the agri-food industry.
-
The need to store raw materials instead of making a constant purchase throughout the year.
The use of removable prefabricated buildings for the agri-food industry allows this problem to be tackled quickly, efficiently and profitably.
Unequal demand
Rising transport and electricity prices throughout Europe and certain parts of the world affect the final price of products produced by the agri-food industry .This can cause the demand for products in some countries to vary, and new markets must be sought. Or store the production until it can be released. This implies greater storage needs that cannot be expected to be covered. They should be fixed now. Immediately. No waiting. And that can only be done safely in prefabricated detachable ships specific for this use.
Shortages due to climate change:
Drought, desertification and deforestation, storms, hurricanes. They are common but unpredictable. And they suddenly modify the needs of the agri-food industry.
Geopolitics, shortages and price wars
Situations such as Brexit, conflicts between countries in potential conflict or international economic sanctions can lead to shortages and price wars. To try to overcome this problem, the storage of raw material for the agri-food sector is key.
Other challenges that storage in removable prefabricated warehouses for the agri-food industry contribute to solving.
-
Rise in the cost of transport.
-
fight speculation in food.
-
Sustainability, prioritizing local products.
-
Contribution to zero food waste.
