The World Bank warns of a ‘turbulent decade’ from ‘trade wars, geopolitical risks, and climate shocks.’ Their April 2025 Outlook isn’t just predicting this—it’s happening. We’re now seeing market price disruptions hitting 2x as often, as price cycles have halved. And the upward swings? They’ve become 27% more intense.

"The level of volatility we've seen is something that for a very long time we haven't seen...and will most likely still be there in the years to come."

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

The cost of mistimed commodity purchases for food companies

In markets where price shocks now hit about twice as often and upward surges are far more intense making the right call on when to buy is more important than ever.

Overpaying today, missing opportunities tomorrow?

Should you buy today, anticipating prices will be higher next week, or delay, hoping to avoid committing just before the market dips further? This constant uncertainty leads to overpaying or missing optimal entry points, pressuring margins and leaving opportunities on the table.

Can you confidently plan your long-term game?

For effective longer-term strategic planning and budgeting, do you struggle to build a reliable picture of future cost scenarios? Without clear, forward-looking market intelligence, developing a resilient sourcing strategy and confidently planning your spend becomes a major challenge

Internal hurdles: justifying your strategy

When market conditions are unpredictable, how do you clearly explain and justify your crucial long-term procurement strategies and budget needs to internal stakeholders? Lacking robust, data-backed foresight makes getting buy-in and aligning the business difficult.

If these daily execution challenges, long-term planning difficulties, and internal justification pressures are impacting your effectiveness and your company’s bottom line, you’re experiencing the core impact of today’s extreme commodity volatility.
