Food Manufacturing Journal - Middle East & Africa Magazine - September 2017

In this issue

Have you ever told someone: If my production is running efficiently without IoT, why should I adopt it now? Fair question. But if you could make your production run more efficiently –would you think twice in adopting IoT?
The food and beverage industry has yet to get used to the idea of the Internet of Things (IoT) being a part of everyday processes. There’s always some resistance to adopting new technology when there’s insufficient knowledge about it, or if cost is an issue. According to experts, IoT can help bring down cost, enhance product quality and safety, track and trace products in transit, and so on. Being able to prevent production issues before they occur is a giant leap in efficiency. That’s just one of the benefits. Cutting waste is another. To know more, read our report on how IoT is changing the food and beverage sector.
Also in this issue, we give you a market overview of Iran and Turkey, two of the fastest developing food and beverage markets in the region.
On the cover, we feature sweet confections to highlight the development of new ingredients that enhance the quality of chocolate, onfectionery and snacks.
