Innovative potential of a circular economy: Market study of the agricultural and food industry in North Rhine-Westphalia

Project aim:
The objective of this market study is to assess material flows in the various plant and animal production sectors of the agricultural and food industry. The market analysis thus contributes to the identification of the innovation potential of the INGRAIN project.   
INGRAIN is financed by the programme "Wandel durch Innovation in der Region (WIR)" of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and aims at a structural transformation by establishing a cross-sectoral and resource-saving circular economy. The sectors concerned are agricultural, textile and food production in part of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Activities of ECOZEPT:
The market analysis aims to identify waste and co-product streams and provides recommendations for their optimised and cross-sectoral use. In addition, relevant actors in the agriculture and food sector in the Rhine mining district are identified. The study is based on an analysis of the raw material potential of the existing agriculture and food industry. Then, based on the assumptions and guiding questions of the study, an expert survey is conducted in the food and agricultural industry. This qualitative and semi-directive survey is conducted by telephone with representatives of all the links in the targeted sectors.

Organic market analysis for Thuringia with special consideration of the sales of organic products in out-of-home catering (status quo and potential)

The Free State of Thuringia's political objective is to promote organic farming specifically, and to enable balanced, market-oriented, environmentally friendly growth during the funding period until 2027. Organic farming plays a key role in producing high-quality food, protecting natural resources, and ensuring species-appropriate animal husbandry, while also creating opportunities for new markets and greater regional value generation.

The study of the Thuringian organic market aims to provide reliable data on organic value chains. It analyses the current supply and demand situation, describes commodity flows and sales markets, identifies regional gaps and surpluses, and highlights opportunities for regional cultivation, processing, and marketing. Particular focus is placed on out-of-home catering (OOH): examining processing options, demand and cost structures makes visible the opportunities and levers for increasing the organic share in OOH, providing guidance for entrepreneurial and political action.

A Study of Organic Corn, Sunflower, Soft Wheat and Soybean Supply Chains Worldwide

Following our studies on organic field crops in 2021 and on organic wheat and soybeans in 2023, Agence Bio, Terres Univia and Intercéréales seek to consolidate knowledge of the global organic field crop sector. To this end, they seek to continue analyzing the organic wheat and soybean supply chains while expanding the scope to include organic corn and sunflowers across 44 countries.

This third market study provides an overview of these supply chains in various countries, ranging from production (acreage, volumes, prices) to processing (volumes of oilcake, oil, flour, soy-based foods, etc.), as well as trade flows and end-product markets. The study includes an analysis of Europe’s dependence on imports, the political and regulatory environment in third countries and the identification of the main economic players in the various countries.

The economic importance of direct sales (in organic production) WiBiDi

Direct sales are an important trade sector in Germany. Around 2,45 billion euros is spent each year on weekly markets and directly from farmers alone. However, there is yet no scientific data on the importance of direct marketing of organic products for both farmers and the national economy. The main aim of this project is therefore to evaluate the national and regional economic importance of direct marketing of organic products in Germany, and to elaborate a method which allows regular updates in statistical data. Simultaneously, the collected data should enable to develop economic indicators of marketing channels such as market stalls, vending machines or mail order.
