This, in turn may lead to higher retail prices and may also discourage price-sensitive customers from purchasing the product, which in turn reduces market growth. Regulations in many areas demand strong standards on food and labeling that add cost to compliance for the manufacturer and even further limits the growth of the market. OPPORTUNITY

OPPORTUNITY

Producers can promise customers authenticity, transparency, and proper food safety, but it is hard to remain so in a highly competitive market, all expensive.
