Dutch food industry buckling under high energy costs: Trade association
A growing number of food producers in the Netherlands are facing financial difficulties due to the increased energy costs, trade association FNLI said to https://nos.nl/artikel/2446868-voedselindustrie-sterk-onder-druk-door-energiekostenNOS. The FNLI called on the government to quickly present support for businesses.
Energy companies are increasingly reluctant to offer fixed-rate contracts, leaving more and more businesses with flexible or variable contracts, according to the FNLI. That is accelerating the burden of the rapidly increasing energy costs, especially for energy-intensive businesses like bakeries and canned food producers.
A recent study by ING showed that energy would make up an average of 7.5 percent of food producers’ costs this year. In 2020, that was 1.5 percent. “And we see outliers where the energy costs now account for about 30 to 40 percent of the cost price,” FNLI director Cees-Jan Adema said to the broadcaster.
On Budget Day last month, the Cabinet announced measures to boost citizens’ purchasing power and said it was working on a package for businesses, specifically energy-intensive SMEs. Adema called on the government to present those measures quickly, also to maintain fair competition with companies abroad.
“We see countries around us quickly setting up support measures. Dutch producers are falling behind as a result. Similar products from abroad are becoming cheaper,” Adema said. According to him, many businesses can’t pass on the higher energy costs to customers because they would then lose competitiveness, but they are also unable to bear the burden alone.
Tips to get more protein
The best way to combat a protein deficiency? Work on getting more protein in your meals. Romito offers up the following advice:
Include protein at every meal. Romito doesn’t recommend trying to cram all your protein into one meal. Instead, she says it’s best to split it up throughout the day. “If you get protein at every meal, it makes it easier to hit your total by the end of the day.”

Most people think success is about adding more.
More projects. More contacts. More noise.
In reality, the breakthroughs often come from subtraction.
Removing the one offer that drains you.
Declining the meeting that adds no value.
Letting go of the client who doesn’t respect your work.
If you feel stuck, ask yourself:
What can I remove to make everything else work better?

In 2007, ‘locavore’ – a person who only eats food grown or produced within a 100-mile (161km) radius – was the Oxford Word of the Year. Now, 15 years later, University of Sydney researchers urge it to trend once more . They have found that 19 percent of global food system greenhouse gas emissions are caused by transportation.
This is up to seven times higher than previously estimated, and far exceeds the transport emissions of other commodities. For example, transport accounts for only seven percent of industry and utilities emissions.
