This is very interesting. Trigger warning for rape, specifically of children.

In the city of Makeni, a three-hour drive east of Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, a young mother sits outside her home with her three-year-old daughter. 

Anita, which is not her real name, describes the day in June 2023 when she found her toddler with blood dripping from her nappy. 

"I worked for this woman, and she gave me an errand that Saturday morning to go to the market," she says, explaining that she then left her child with her employer and her 22-year-old son. 

"He took my child, he said, to buy sweets and biscuits for her. It was a lie." 

When she got back, she realised her daughter was missing. After searching for her for some time, they were reunited but the 22-year-old mother could see that the toddler was bleeding. She took her to the hospital and after two rounds of stitches, it was confirmed she had been raped. 

"The nurses began checking the child, and they said: 'Oh my God, what has this man done to this child?' The doctor who was treating my child even cried." 

Anita went to the police but the man fled and a year on the police have not been able to find him. 

"The president created a law so that whoever rapes children, should be arrested and sent to jail," she says, angry that nothing appears to have been done.

She is referring to a tougher sexual offences law created five years ago after President Maada Bio declared the emergency over rape.

It followed protests in December 2018 when hundreds of people wearing white T-shirts emblazoned with the words "Hands off our girls" marched through Freetown.

News of another child rape had shocked the nation - a five-year-old girl who was left paralysed from the waist down. It was reported at the time that cases of sexual violence had almost doubled within a year, a third involving children. Sierra Leoneans had had enough.

The four-month long state of emergency from February 2019 allowed the president to divert state resources into tackling sexual violence.

An updated Sexual Offences Act brought in stricter penalties for sexual assault. 

Rape sentences were increased to a minimum of 15 years, or life if it involved a child. A Sexual Offences Model Court to fast-track trials was created in Freetown the following year.

There appears to have been some progress - reported cases of sexual and gender-based violence have gone down by almost 17%, from just over 12,000 in 2018 to just over 10,000 in 2023, according to police statistics.

Creating increased awareness and new structures is one thing, but making sure that people, like Anita's daughter, get justice is another. 

The Rainbo Initiative is a national charity that works with survivors of sexual violence. It says that in 2022 just 5% of the 2,705 cases it handled made it to the High Court.

One of the issues is the resources available to those who are supposed to enforce the law. 

At the police station in Makeni where Anita reported her daughter's rape, Assnt Supt Abu Bakarr Kanu who leads the Family Support Unit (FSU) says they get around four cases of child sexual assault each week.

The big challenge his team faces is a lack of transport to physically go and arrest suspects.

He co-ordinates all seven police divisions in the region and between them they do not have a single vehicle. 

"There are times the suspect is available but because of lack of vehicles you can't reach that suspect to arrest him or her," says Assnt Supt Kanu. 

"Doing the right thing at the right time is a challenge." 

Like many in Sierra Leone, he was impressed with the government action that followed the state of emergency. 

"We have enough… good laws and policy, but the structure and personnel are the challenge for us to holistically address the issues of sexual and gender-based violence in Sierra Leone."

Even if an alleged perpetrator is apprehended, to get them before a judge is an even bigger struggle.

In order for the case against a rape suspect to be heard, there is only one person in the country who can sign the documents - the attorney general. It was meant to speed up the process and get the cases straight to the courts, but it has created a different bottle-neck.

"Presently it is not possible to have any other law officer or any other counsel to sign an indictment for sexual-related offences," says State Counsel Joseph AK Sesay, a lawyer employed by the government. 

"The 2019 amendment stipulates that it is only the attorney general that can rightly sign an indictment. So that has been posing a challenge when it comes to getting the indictments to courts."

Information Minister Chernor Bah admits this is not a perfect process but says it is "a process that we'll continue to improve on". 

Challenged on the question that many believe little has changed when it comes to getting justice for rape survivors, he acknowledged that "in some communities people feel that way".

But he rejects the idea that there has been no progress.

"I think the systemic reforms that we've put in place are there. The new laws are there. And those steps, I think, have led to the overall feeling that we're not in the deep, dark days of 2019."

For Anita, back in Makeni, it has been nearly a year since her toddler was raped. 

She has had no new information from the police, so has resorted to posting the alleged suspect's photo on Facebook. 

"I want people to help me search for the boy. I'm tormented and I am not happy. What has happened to my child, I don't want it to happen to any other child."

Prince Harry is actively enjoying time in the USA despite reports he’s ‘homesick’. An exclusive source says H&M are fuming after their correspondence was not responded to promptly ahead of Trooping of the Colour!

...

They made some attempt to call text email or write and were ignored.

----------

The above posts suggest to me that the attempt to get attention via jam and dog biscuits was a rash response to 'being ignored'. Nachos took the photos in daylight but posted just before midnight, if my assessment of time is correct. If she went to all the attempt to make jam and dog biscuits to actually market a brand, then there would have been a similar approach to the strawberry jam 'launch'. If she simply sent the products to a friend, and is serious about launching the brand, she would have asked him to not post as the timing and the poor presentation might hurt the brand. This was an amateur and rash attempt to get attention. Her subsequent denial is pure gaslighting.

TLF isn’t a trustworthy site. None of the blind gossip accounts, websites, channels are.

Chapter 2: From Lahore

It was just another morning in Delhi. The sun started to rise and Ram was back home, sweating like a melting snow cone. He got ready to report to the police station- when he remembered he had a duty at the railway station today.

Ram didn't understand why the authorities would give him duty at most peculiar places. It was only a comfort that the railway station was close to police barracks. But he understood that crowd and riots like this can only be handled by him. It was 7 am, and the train from Lahore has just stopped on the railway station of Delhi. Chandni chowk was a bustling market, and often the crowd made its place on the railway station. Even 7 am looked like a Sunday evening sometimes. Buying a cutting chai, he sat down on the stool, observing everyone in sight.

A sweet sound pulled Ram's attention- sounds of payal not usually heard around here. His neck whipped to the sound, to see a woman dressed like a bride from head to toe. Was she a runaway? Ram looked away, continuing on his tea and biscuit. Delhi is a sight of all the freaks and couldn't care less. Ram finished his tea and got up to pay, when a hand extended in front of him to pick a toast. He couldn't help but see the fading green lines on his wrist, as if a tattoo hardly recognizable. When Ram saw the man's face, the instant anxiety kicked an intuition in Ram- he knew who the man was. Ram soon sprinted after him, as he escaped, running to catch the member of a decoy gang who looted a whole family of the superintendent. The decoy put up a good fight, injuring Ram at places but in 10 minutes, Ram had the decoy in his hands.

On the other hand, Akhtar entered the frame of Railway station, eyes seeking for Ram. He parked his motorcycle, swinging the bag of lunch as he got off the bullet. Ammi made biryani and he had to deliver the fresh and hot delicacy. With a small smile, he made his way inside. Akhtar's first stop was the officer's room reserved for the police, but he had no luck there. Where would Ram be on such a big platform?

Upon looking further, he saw a woman, dressed like a bride from head to toe, sitting on one of the benches. Her face screamed she needed help, and she looked out of ordinary. It was almost time that she started attracting chain snatchers and ill intenders. Akhtar moved close to her, cautiously, and luckily gained her attention without calling for her.

"I am sorry to disturb but are you in trouble?"

The woman looked at him up and down, and then looked away. Akhtar gulped, but understood her ignorance. "I don't mean to do any harm, I'm just here to drop my friend's lunch. I thought you needed help." Akhtar tried, he thought. When she didn't budge from her position, he started to walk away, unsure. "Listen!" A melodious voice pulled him back, and he turned to her immediately. "I hope what you're saying is true. I am new to this city and I need a place to stay for some time." Akhtar smiled proudly "Where are you from?" "I am from Lahore, my name is Kainat"

Akhtar's eyes physically shined upon her name. "What a beautiful name, my younger sister would adore you" Kainat's eyes glistened at that. A sister who adores. "Would you know any place for me to stay temporarily?" Kainat repeated her query and Akhtar nodded, fortunately. "You can live with my family for sometime, I'm sure they won't mind" Her smile reached her eyes, nodding quickly. "Let me just find Ram Anna and introduce you to him, till then you can sit and wait in here".

Akhtar guided Kainat to the waiting room outside the police officer's room. After all, this was the safest place for her and easiest to find. She tapped her foot repetitively, anxious if she was deceived. She couldn't even get his name- all she knows is that he is looking for his friend, Ram.

About 2 minutes later, Kainat saw a man getting dragged inside the station by his collar. Must be a pick pocket, she thought, clutching her bag closer. There are a lot of them in Delhi. Kainat's attention was not on the police station, that was the last of her interest. She never understood how the people of nation could stand up against the freedom of their own family, their own blood. Whites to be damned, her blood boils whenever she witnesses a brown police officer. That was one of the things she hated about nawabs- taking the oppressor's side for their own luxury and comfort. She loved dancing, as long as it was in front of the women of Mahal and even the white oppressors. Although, were Huzoor any less than an oppressor herself?

Kainat snapped out of her thoughts when she saw someone limp and sit in front of her, his loose white shirt bloody. He huffed, closing his eyes and rested his head back. Kainat thought of him to be a culprit too, when a constable gave him a glass of water and left. Curiosity took the best of her, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Are you a police officer?" Ram opened his eyes to see the runaway bride he saw sometimes back. He closed his eyes again, nodding in no. Better to be safe than sorry. "Then why did the constable helped you just now?" Kainat missed the small smile on his face. "I caught a criminal on the run." Ram only heard the movement of her jewellery, shuffling. "Does it hurt?" Ram opened his eyes again. He never really thought about it, he was just tired. He took a quick glance at his wounds, which were really minor compared to his other incidents. "I'd be fine" he muttered, closing his eyes again.

"Anna!" Ram opened his eyes again when Akhtar called out for him, only to be caught off guard by blood on Ram. Kainat saw Akhtar run to the bench, asking what happened. Ram calmly put hand up, asking him to calm down. Kainat couldn't help but smile at the odd duo. "What are you smiling at?" Ram's question drew a silence on Akhtar. "Do you know each other?" Akhtar asked. Kainat looked from Ram to Akhtar. "We just met now" Kainat said.

Ram finally looked at Kainat from up to down. She looked like she belonged to royalty, with a bright and innocent face, sharp eyes and plump lips. She looked like she would bring trouble. "Anna, this is Kainat from Lahore. She'll be living with our family for awhile."

The Reporter and the Thief

Tintin x Fem!Reader

[summary: the Reporter tintin enlists the help of a thief to help him on an adventure]

[a/n: i did too much reaserach on this especially for the currency that would;ve been used at the time]

[Y/n] hummed, to herself, as she walked around the flea market looking curiously at the array of expensive knick-knacks. She walked around her eyes fixated on the costly items.

While walking through the crowd, her hand would slowly and unexpectedly slip into their pockets and take any spare change and jewelry. She immediately shoved the change and necklace, into her satchel and walked away without anyone suspecting a thing.

As she walked around pickpocketing unsuspecting people. The smell of freshly baked pastries wafted through her nose. She could smell the buttery and flakey bread and the baked sweets. sniff sniff.. and was that, Baisers de Malmédy?

She smelled, that was her absolute favorite sweet. she could taste the rich sweet butter cream and the almonds on the biscuit. Her stomach growled, having not eaten since yesterday she decided to treat herself.

She walked towards the bakery, and her mouth watered seeing all the baked goods. "What shall it be?" The baker asked, looking at her and she looked up at him. "Um, one Baisers de Malmédy please, and a bread roll." She asked, and he nodded.

She waited impatiently her stomach growling, louder and louder by the second. the baker handed her the wrapped baked goods. "That will be two quid." He said, and she nodded. Scrounging in her satchel, getting the change needed as she handed it to him. The necklace she stole fell out of her satchel.

She froze for a moment, "Hey! that's my necklace!" a lady shouted, pointing at the necklace on the ground. [Y/n] immediately, shoved the goods into her satchel and ran before Interpol could even arrive. as she ran she lept over a white dog that had gotten in the way. before anyone could even get a good look at her she had left.

She stopped to catch her breath after having ran what felt like a mile. Her back hit the brick wall and she reached into her satchel, taking out the Baisers de Malmédy and unwrapping it.

Despite it being basically smashed, she took a bite and savored every bite. It tasted almost as good as her mother used to make it when she was little. Bringing back so many good memories of when her life was simple and she didn't have to steal to survive.

She looked up and noticed a dog, who looked really hungry. Reaching into her bag she pulled out the bread roll. Ripping a piece of bread, she reached out her hand to feed it to the dog. He sniffed her hand and ate the bread from her hand.

She smiled, giggling as she shared her bread with the dog. He licked her face wagging his tail, happy to have finally gotten some food. She looked at him, scratching the top of his head as he licked her face.

She smiled, leaning her head back against the brick wall, and stared up at the sky. "I'm still hungry," She groaned, her stomach still growling the dog whimpering in response. He laid his head down on her stomach, staring down at him she scratched the top of his head. Closing her eyes she decided to take a nap.

"She always slips right through our fingers," Thompson says, looking at the young ginger-haired journalist. "She's fast, I'll give her that," Thomson says. Tintin looked, down at the newspaper, "Hm," Tintin thought to himself, something valuable was just stolen. Not by the thief but by someone else.

"I'm going to need the mind of a thief for this one," He thought and closed the newspaper and folded it up. "Any reports, on what the thief looked like?" He asked turning towards Thompson and Thomson, and the two police officers thought.

"She's about [your height]," Thompson says, and Thomson shakes his head, "No, I think its [random height]." Thomson says, and the two start bickering over the thief's height. Tintin sighs, "Anything else?" Tintin asked, and the police officers looked back at him.

"She may have [h/c] and look around 16-18," Thompson says, and Tintin nodded it wasn't much. But he needed to find her.

[Y/n]'s eyes fluttered open, and she looked around realizing the dog is no longer there. A sigh escaped her lips as she stood up, and looked down seeing an apple placed on her lap. She smiled happily, picking up the apple and taking a bite.

"You need my help?" She folded her arms across her chest, as she looked at Tintin. "What's in it for me?" She asked, raising her left eyebrow to look at him.

"All your theft charges will be dropped." He said, and she looked at him unconvinced. "Hm, what about a reward?" She asked, and the journalist looked at her. "What kind of reward?" he asked, and she rolled her eyes.

"But the money of course." She said, and he looked at her, "How much?" He asked, "Fifty quid" She asked, she knew that was a lot but she isn't going to let them use her for free. "Done." He said, and she smiled looking at him.

"Then we have a deal, Mr.Tintin." She said, looking at him. He reached out to shake her hand, and she took it grinning mischievously as she took his watch without him even noticing.

"You really, need to pay more attention." She said, holding up his watch in front of his face. He immediately snatched and looked at her, a mischievous grin on her lips as she looked at him.

"Where do you live?" He asked, and she scoffed. "Why you haven't even asked me out yet." She said, jokingly looking at him smiling mischievously.

"Why should I bother telling you?" She asked, folding her arms across her chest. Raising her eyebrow as she looked at him, "So, I know where to find you." He said, and she chuckled.

"Trust me, even if I were to give you where I lived, you wouldn't be able to find me. I'm like a ghost in the night. You see me." She said and swiftly hid somewhere. A blink and you'll miss it a moment.

"Then you don't." She said, causing Tintin to look up and see her hiding on the ceiling her arms and legs stretched out to keep her hidden.

She smiled, as she landed on her feet to only lose her balance and fall on her butt. "Still working on that." She sighed, swiftly standing on her feet. "So, no I won't tell you where I live." She said, and looked down noticing Snowy, and started petting him, cooing over the dog.

After taking in the girl's appearance and the events that occurred early this morning, Tintin thought for a moment. How she stole and ran away, as well taking into account the grumbling of her stomach.

"In that case, the only option is for you to stay here." He said, causing her to look at him in shock. "Really?" She said, looking at him confused. "You want me a thief to stay here with you? A detective-"

"Journalist," Tintin corrected, "Whatever," She said, brushing off what he said. She looked at him her hands on her hips, "Have you gone mad?" She asked, tilting her head while looking at him.

"Loony even?" She continued, raising her pointer finger to the side of her head, spinning it in circles while making a crazed face. "No, I have not," He said, looking at her. "Then why ask me to stay here?" She asked, and he looked at her.

"Like I said, I'll know where you are." He said, and she rolled her eyes in response. Her stomach, then grumbled as she let out a yawn..

...................

Thompson and Thomson had left, leaving Tintin and [Y/n] alone in his flat. She looked around the flat curiously, gazing at some of the artifacts he'd collected over the years. "Don't touch that." He said, and she turned to look at him and rolled her eyes.

"Here," He said, placing a plate of food on the table and she turned around, rushing over to the table. Sitting down, and quickly eating the good. Downing it in seconds, "I haven't had something that good sinc-"

She stopped, and he looked at her curiously. "Since when?" he asked, and she looked at him and shook her head. "Nothing." She said, looking at him. Silence fell, and he pushed the plate of his half-uneaten food towards her and she smiled. Eating the rest, and finally after so long had a full stomach.

Also after years, was able to take a hot shower. Tintin gave her a place to sleep on the couch and handed her a pillow and blanket. The couch felt like a cloud and the moment she laid her head down. She was sound asleep. Snowy, kept her company which she gladly appreciated.

---------------------------

[Y/n] enjoyed teasing Tintin during the entire time, they were together. During that time she helped him figure out where the thief could've possibly taken the artifact that was stolen from the museum. They got closer to each other over time, bonding over things they had in common.

She eventually opened up about her past, telling him how her mother passed away when she was little. Leaving her alone, and being tossed into an orphanage that didn't treat her or the other children there well. She acted up and stood up for the children being picked on, and was eventually thrown out.

To be taken in by a couple of thieves who raised her, and they too eventually abandoned her to be taken by Interpol. She eventually, got out but went back to stealing since it was the only way for her to survive.

He then offered her a job so she wouldn't have to steal anymore. A job to help him out on his adventures. She took the job and gave him a big hug tackling him to the ground. Their lips are inches from each other. They stared at each other cheeks bright red. They quickly pulled away, blushing awkwardly. He even taught her how to use a gun, she'd never blushed so hard in her entire life.

Once they solved it, in the end, they confessed their feelings for one another and arrived back at his flat.

Tintin tackled her onto the bed her hands pinned above her head, still holding the wallet. “was this always your endgame?” he asked, and a mischievous grin grew across her lips as she stared at him. As he leaned down to kiss her on the lips a smile grew across her lips as she kissed him back. unknowing of his hand slowly taking the wallet from her hand, and pulling back from the kiss, and waving it above her head causing her to gasp.

and smile, "hey, you stole that trick from me." She shouted, and playfully started reaching for him causing him to lift it higher. She pouted until she got the upper hand wrapping her legs around his waist. and pinning him to the bed. She smiled playfully, as she took the wallet from his hand. "Was this your endgame?" She asked, mischievously marching her fingers on his shirt.

She dangles his wallet in front of his face and he reaches to grab it, but she swiftly moves it out of the way. And kisses him on the lips passionately, moving her head slowly. His hands wrap around her waist pulling her closer and deepening the kiss. his hand slowly creeping up her back gripping the back of her head. while the other creeps its way underneath her shirt.

Causing her to lose her grip on the wallet, and for Tintin to swiftly snatch it. He pulled away from the kiss and dangled the wallet in front of her face, she pouted and blushed from embarrassment. Her lips were red and plump, her cheeks bright red, and her hair a mess.

He looked at her for a moment before pulling her closer onto his chest, and back into a kiss. She smiled softly, feeling his lips against her, and kissed him back once more. She grinned mischievously as she reached for the covers pulling it over them.

a/n: sorry if it seemed rushed but you've been waiting long enough hope you enjoyed.

Next time you pick up a package of coffee or a pack of toilet paper, take a closer look. You might notice the package looks familiar, but what is inside has subtly diminished. This is “shrinkflation” in action, a pricing strategy used by manufacturers worldwide. By reducing product size instead of increasing final prices, companies take advantage of the psychology of shoppers who are more likely to notice a price hike than a slight reduction in size.

A pervasive trend

Despite complaints by consumers and recent government initiatives, the phenomenon shows little sign of abating. According to research by the British bank Barclays, in August, 8 out of 10 British consumers reported that the practice was hitting their finances. A quarter of them have even started to notice “double-dip shrinkflation”, where products go through two or more rounds of size reductions, without a corresponding price reduction. The top five most frequently cited products impacted are chocolate (57%), crisps (44%), packs of biscuits (41%), snack bars (36%) and sweets (36%).

One of your favourite brands is probably guilty of it. Take the latest Toblerone chocolate bar for example, now a gappier version of its former self. Other well-known products to have taken a cut include Mars and Galaxy chocolate bars, McVities biscuits, Magnum ice creams, Pringles, Lurpark butter and the list goes on.

In spite of its growing use, shrinkflation is not a new trick in the corporate playbook. In times of economic turbulence, manufacturers have consistently turned to this stealthy strategy to maintain profitability without overtly raising prices. For instance, the UK government had already recorded 2,529 price quotes across the UK where the size of the tracked item had shrunk between January 2012 and June 2017. Fast forward to today, as global supply chains deal with unprecedented pressures and generalised hyperinflation, shrinkflation has re-emerged as a silent yet pervasive trend impacting consumers globally.

Consumers left feeling cheated

Shrinkflation often goes unnoticed by consumers until they open the package or start to dig in. In some cases, it comes with a product package renewal – such as an increased divot in the bottom of a jar – further confounding the consumer, who does not immediately realise that there’s less of it.

Consumers hate its perniciousness, feeling cheated and disempowered over their purchases. They have launched a number of petitions and called on supermarkets to follow the lead of French supermarket Carrefour in labelling products hit by shrinkflation. Despite the increased media attention and scrutiny, in a very few cases voluntary actions have been put in place so far from big retailers.

Do companies realise just how bad for business it is? A recent study demonstrated that the majority of consumers consider shrinkflation a dishonest practice, much more unfair than the price increase. Retailers are not exempted from consumer outrage, since they are also considered culpable for it, despite their limited control over the package size reduction, as our preliminary findings suggest.

Grumbles on social media

Our analysis of 4.000 X posts published between January 2022 and January 2024 containing the keywords “#shrinkflation” or “shrinkflation” shows that consumers consider manufacturers responsible for shrinking the quantity of the products, but also attribute responsibility to retailers for not protecting consumers from these new market dynamics.

Consumers can blame the food industry or specific brands, or both. In the case of brands, they often explicitly mention the brand and show images of shrunken packaging. Consumers who blame manufacturers for employing such tactics express feelings of deception or being cheated, especially if this means they get less bang for their buck. Indeed, brand communications about shrinkflation are perceived as deceitful, as they try to convince consumers about the benefits of the packaging reduction:

Of course, size isn’t everything; sometimes fewer ingredients or materials impacts the quality of the product itself. Oreo, for example, has been accused of reducing the layer of cream between cookies without lowering prices.

More unpopular than price rises

These insights are further confirmed by the results of our studies conducted online in the first six months of 2024 involving more than 1,700 consumers from the UK and Italy. Through an online questionnaire, consumers involved via a crowdsourcing platform (i.e., Prolific Academic) were randomly messaged that their favourite supermarket was implementing shrinkflation or raising prices.

The consumers who received our communication on shrinkflation practices showed higher levels of aversion toward the retailer and perceived higher levels of price unfairness (+7.3%) compared to those who received the message communicating price increase. Our findings also show a substantial reduction of trust toward the retailer, dropping by 4.5%, together with a drop in attitude, meaning that consumers have less favourable perceptions toward retailers when they sell downsized products (-4%). Dwindling trust is particularly problematic for retailers, and it might be even more pronounced if shrinkflation is used for a longer period.

Governments respond

Some governments are now cracking down on the practice. For instance, since 1 July 2024 stores in France have been required to display warnings on products that have shrunk in size without a corresponding reduction in price, as Italy followed suit weeks later. In Asia, South Korea’s antitrust regulator has also demanded that food manufacturers and suppliers inform shoppers if they reduce the size of their products or face fines of up to 10 million won ($7,300). US lawmakers, including President Biden, have publicly condemned shrinkflation and is considering new executive actions to crack down on the practice.

Companies aren’t doomed to unpopularity, however. Should they yield to shrinkflation, our research shows that they can maintain trust and minimise backlash by proactively informing consumers.

Bulk Food Ingredients Market Analysis, Trends, Growth, Research, and Forecast to 2028

The global bulk food ingredients market is projected to reach USD 454.6 billion by 2028 from USD 366.7 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period in terms of value. The need for packaged ready-to-eat meals like confectionary, biscuits, beverages, and chocolates is one lifestyle element that drives the market for bulk ingredients. The market has been helped by the expansion of food service retail chains and the rise in the number of restaurants and cafés. These businesses buy a substantial amount of food ingredients from wholesalers, including grains, spices, and herbs. The market for bulk food ingredients is expanding due to a variety of factors, including changing lifestyles, the embrace of Western culture, and an expanding labour force. In addition, the preference for tea and coffee over carbonated beverages is anticipated to fuel market expansion. Market participants are releasing several kinds of herbal and ayurvedic teas that are also healthy, raising demand for them in many regions of the world.

Bulk Food Ingredients Market Drivers: Rise in end-use applications

The demand for products that are rich in nutrients is significantly high in Europe and North America due to the increase in consumer awareness. The consumption of products with an extensive nutritional profile would continue to increase as parents prefer opting for food products—such as grains, oilseeds, and nuts, that are estimated to account for a key share in the bulk ingredients market. These products offer nutrition for healthy child development. End-use applications such as bakery & confectionery, snacks & spreads, ready meals, infant formulas, and dairy products are projected to witness significant growth in the next five years, resulting in increased demand for bulk food ingredients.

Food products are processed for various purposes, including the preparation of safer food products by eliminating harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, enhancing the shelf life of products, and increasing convenience. These bulk food ingredients are available in different end user application industries after being processed. Bulk food ingredients account for a major part of the raw materials required by the food processing industry. Hence, the increase in demand for packaged/processed food products is projected to drive the growth of the bulk food ingredients market.

Bulk Food Ingredients Market Opportunities: Rise in demand for natural or clean label products

Healthy, and ‘clean’ food products with fewer additives. Unlike organic, however, the term ‘natural’ remains undefined by legislators. Consumers are opting for cleaner products that contain an absolute minimum of synthetic or chemical additives.

According to the survey conducted by Consumer Reports National Research Center in 2013, two-thirds of the US consumers prefer locally grown products, whereas more than 60% of the population opt for ‘clean’ or ‘natural’ labeled products. As a result of the increase in demand for organic products in the North American and European region, as well as the other parts of the world, there is a significant growth in demand for bulk food ingredients products.

Clean-label products are organic, natural, non-GMO, and minimally processed consumer-friendly products. According to the Clean Label Alliance, it is witnessed that nearly 75% of consumers are willing to pay high prices for clean-label products. The increase in health awareness among consumers is projected to drive the demand for natural and clean-label products, which, in turn, would drive the demand for bulk food ingredients. Consumers are becoming inclined toward clean-label products, as they are becoming more aware of the non-synthetic ingredients and their negative effects. This is projected to encourage the adoption of products and diets with clean-label ingredients.

By application, beverage segment is projected to have fastest growing rate during the forecast period.

There is a growing global demand for a wide variety of beverages, including carbonated drinks, juices, sports drinks, ready-to-drink teas and coffees, functional beverages, and alcoholic beverages. As consumers seek convenience and new taste experiences, the beverage industry is constantly innovating to meet these demands. Consumers are increasingly conscious of their health and wellness, driving the demand for healthier beverage options. This includes beverages with natural ingredients, reduced sugar content, functional additives, and botanical extracts. Bulk food ingredients such as natural sweeteners, fruit extracts, natural Flavors, and plant-based ingredients are essential in developing healthier and more appealing beverage products.

Asia Pacific is dominating the bulk food ingredients market share.

The Asia Pacific region has a large and rapidly growing population. The rising population leads to increased food consumption and drives the demand for bulk food ingredients to meet the growing production needs. As more people enter the middle class and experience higher disposable incomes, there is an increased demand for processed and convenience foods, further boosting the need for bulk ingredients. There is a shift in dietary patterns in the region. Urbanization, changing lifestyles, and Western influences have led to a higher consumption of processed and packaged foods. This trend increases the demand for bulk food ingredients as manufacturers require large quantities of ingredients to meet the growing demand for these convenience products. The region is witnessing rising consumer awareness of health and wellness, leading to a growing demand for natural and organic food products. Bulk food ingredients such as herbs, spices, natural sweeteners, and functional additives align with this consumer preference for clean label and healthier options.

Top Bulk Food Ingredients Companies:

The key players in this include Archer Daniels Midland Company (US), International Flavours & Fragrances Inc. (US), Olam Group (Singapore), Cargill, Incorporated (US), Ingredion  (US), Associated British Foods plc (UK), Tate & Lyle PLC (UK), EHL Ingredients (UK), Batory Foods (US), Graincorp (Australia), Community Foods (UK), McCormick & Company, Inc. (US), The Source Bulk Foods (Australia), Essex Food Ingredients (US), and Subnutra (India). These companies have been focusing on expanding their market presence, enhancing their solutions, and partnering with many channel partners and technology companies to cater to consumers across the globe. The deep roots of these players in the market and their robust offerings are among the major factors that have helped them achieve major sales and revenues in the global bulk food ingredients market.

Organic Bread Flour Market - Forecast (2022-2027)

Organic Bread Flour Market size is forecast to reach $887.9 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Organic bread flour is a type of flour milled from wheat that is grown and processed without using harmful synthetic fertilizers and pest control chemicals. Moreover, organic wheat farmers also undertake innovative crop rotation practices in order to minimize the risk of pests and plant diseases. Moreover, only natural preservatives can be used during processing in order for the flour to be certified as organic by an independent agency. Some of the most common kinds of organic bread flour include wholegrain and sprouted grains. Organic bread flours are primarily used for baking goods such as pastries, biscuits, or scones. Organic flour along with a leavening agent such as yeast enables bakers to produce puff pastry items. This is because yeast baking causes the dough to rise owing to carbon dioxide gas produced by it during the baking process.

Growing health consciousness among consumers post the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing awareness regarding adverse effects of food products containing synthetic pesticide traces are some of the key factors driving the growth of the market during the forecast period 2022-2027. 

Organic Bread Flour Market Report Coverage

The report: “Organic Bread Flour Market Forecast (2022-2027)”, by Industry ARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments of the Organic Bread Flour Market.

By Type: Organic whole grain wheat flour, Organic brown wheat flour, Organic sprouted wheat flour, and Others.

By Distribution Channel: Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Specialist Retailers, Independent Stores, Convenience Stores, Online Retailers, and Others.

By Geography: North America (U.S., Canada, Mexico), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom (U.K.), France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (China, Japan India, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, and Rest of Asia Pacific), South America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Columbia and Rest of South America), and Rest of the World (Middle East, and Africa)

Key Takeaways

North America dominated the Organic Bread Flour Market in the year 2021 owing to the rapid rise in the number of certified organic farmers in North America. This has also helped bring down the prices of organic bread flour products in the region.

The growing need for consuming healthy food among urban populations coupled with the implementation of more stringent regulations regarding the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers in developed regions is anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Detailed analysis of the Strength, Weaknesses, and Opportunities of the prominent players operating in the market will be provided in the Organic Bread Flour Market report.

Lack of adequate regulations regarding synthetic pesticides and low awareness levels among consumers in developing regions is anticipated to hamper the market growth of the Organic Bread Flour Industry.

Organic Bread Flour Market Segment Analysis – By Type

Based on Type, the organic bread flour market can be segmented into Organic whole grain wheat flour, Organic brown wheat flour, Organic sprouted wheat flour, and Others. Organic whole grain wheat flour accounted for the largest share of the market in 2021 and is also anticipated to grow with the fastest CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period of 2022-2027. Wholegrain wheat flours are produced by grinding the entire wheat kernel. This meant that they are much more nutritional owing to the presence of components such as starchy endosperm, bran, aleurone layer, and germ. Consumption of organic whole grain wheat flour can provide essential components such as starch, proteins, minerals, fiber, enzymes, and lipids. However organic whole grain wheat flour typically has a shorter shelf life owing to the presence of the germ which contains lipids prone to oxidative rancidity and enzymes that can trigger deterioration reactions. Organic sprouted wheat flour is also anticipated to witness robust growth owing to its superior iron absorption capability.

Organic Bread Flour Market Segment Analysis – By Distribution Channel

The supermarkets and Hypermarkets segment accounted for the largest share of the Organic Bread Flour Market in 2021 and is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period 2022-2027. This can be attributed to the high penetration of supermarket and hypermarket chains in developed regions and the rapid growth of new supermarkets in major emerging economies. For instance, in 2021, More Retail announced that they are scouting for space in several cities across India in order to build around 300 supermarkets and hypermarkets over the next 3 years. However, the online retailers' segment is anticipated to grow with the fastest CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period of 2022-2027 owing to the increased use of online shopping for grocery items during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, according to McKinsey, the penetration of the grocery sector in the e-commerce space was only around 3-4% before the pandemic. However, in 2020, the penetration increased to nearly 19-20%.

Organic Bread Flour Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

North America dominated the geography segment of the Organic Bread Flour Market in 2021 with a share of 39%, followed by Europe. The rapid growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising consumer awareness levels regarding the health and nutritional benefits of organic food and beverage products, especially in the U.S. and Canada. Besides, owing to the rising demand, the number of farmers adopting organic farming techniques has also significantly risen. For instance, according to the organic trade association, the US sales of organic products reached $62 billion in 2020, an increase of around 12.4% over the previous year.

The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to register the fastest growth during the forecast period 2022-2027 owing to the rapid rise in disposable income and massive domestic wheat cultivation in major emerging Asian economies. For instance, China and India are the two largest global producers of wheat.

Organic Bread Flour Market Drivers

Growing incidences of diabetes among the global population are driving the market growth

According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), approximately 537 million adults between the ages of 20 and 79 were living with diabetes in 2021. Besides, the total number of people living with diabetes is projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. The disease was directly responsible for at least 6.7 million deaths in 2021 alone. This rising prevalence of the disease is driving the demand for an organic bread flour as processed wheat flour s generally mixed with refined flour, which is not good for people suffering from diabetes.

Rapid growth in the adoption of organic farming techniques is poised to increase the growth of the market

Rapid rise in the adoption of organic farming methods such as crop rotation, use of natural fertilizers, and pest control substances is driving the market growth during the forecast period 2022-2027. For instance, according to the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), the total area under the organic certification process in India increased from 3,566,538 hectares in 2017-2018 to approximately 4,339,185 hectares by the year 2020-2021.

Organic Bread Flour Market Challenges

Lack of stringent regulations on synthetic pesticides is likely to challenge the market growth

The lack of stringent regulations regarding the use of harmful synthetic pesticides is hampering growth opportunities as the availability of effective and cheap chemical products for pest control incentivizes farmers to continue adopting traditional farming techniques, although it can be extremely harmful to the environment and consumers. This gives farmers little incentive for shifting toward organic cultivation as organic fertilizers and preservatives are more expensive. This is especially true in developing regions as little or no regulations regarding the use of harmful chemicals in agriculture exist in these regions. For instance, while the U.S. and Australia only use around 2.5 and 2.0 kilograms of pesticide per hectare of cropland, China uses around 13.1 kilograms. 

Organic Bread Flour Industry Outlook

Product launches, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the Organic Bread Flour Market. In 2021, the Organic Bread Flour Market share is fragmented by the top ten players present in the market. The Organic Bread Flour Market, top 10 companies are:

Growth of Ultra-processed Food: Escalating Processed Food Market in India

The demand for processed food in India has been steadily increasing due to factors like urbanization, changing lifestyles, convenience, and a growing middle class. This trend has led to a rise in the consumption of packaged and processed foods across the country. The calcium propionate market is experiencing rapid growth due to the rapidly evolving preservative industry. The region has traditionally been associated with access and affordability issues, however, in recent years, there has been an increased focus on storing products safely for a longer duration of time. Calcium propionates are preservatives that offer several advantages such as mold inhibition, bacterial control, preservative, GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status, and others. The market for calcium propionates is rapidly expanding due to the increasing prevalence of the increased utilization of calcium propionates in the food and pharma industry due to the rise in health concerns in the population.

According to the Universal Data Solutions analysis, the growing awareness among consumers regarding food safety and health concerns, and a rise in the urban population will drive the global scenario of the calcium propionate market. As per their “Calcium Propionate Market” report, the global market was valued at USD 330 million in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.62% during the forecast period from 2023 - 2030 to reach USD 490 million by 2030.  

The World Health Organization (WHO) in a report together with the Indian Council for Research for International Economic Relations stated that the Indian ultra-process food industry grew at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2011 and 2021, with retail sales value increasing by 13.37%. The British Heart Foundation defines ultra-process foods as those that have a longer shelf life and usually contain 5 or more ingredients such as preservatives, emulsifiers, sweeteners, and artificial colours. A significant rebound occurred in sales in 2020-21, with a CAGR of 11.29%. The five most popular categories for ultra-process foods in India- are chocolate & sugar confectionery, salty snacks, drinks, and ready-made & convenience foods. In 2021, the market share of the sweet biscuit subcategory was more than 43%. The reason sweet biscuits are consumed mainly is that they are cheap, easy to store and have a long shelf-life, according to the analysts. The advertising and marketing regulations need to consider that sweet biscuits are a popular snack among children and targeted efforts are needed to reduce marketing and advertisement of such products to children. Retail sales of salty snacks rose at a rate of 16.78% from 2011 to 2021.

Hooters Closes Several 'Underperforming' Restaurants Due to 'Market Conditions'

Hooters is shutting down several of its restaurants, PEOPLE can confirm. The chain known for wings and barely-there uniforms is facing closures as a result of “market conditions,” according to a spokesperson from the brand. “Like many restaurants under pressure from current market conditions, Hooters has made the difficult decision to close a select number of underperforming stores,” a Hooters spokesperson said in a statement to PEOPLE. “Ensuring the well-being of our staff is our priority in these rare instances.” They did not specify the number of locations, but CNN reports it is "several dozen" in states like Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia. The Hooters spokesperson said the company is experiencing plenty of growth at this time too, highlighting Hooters frozen product launches at grocery stores and new restaurants opening in different domestic cities and abroad.
