Strategic Sourcing Guide to Bee-Keeping Machinery Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Environmental Goods market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Bee-Keeping Machinery. Several factors in the value chain of Bee-Keeping Machinery, such as labor cost, logistics, and energy costs are driving up the procurement costs. Additionally, engagement of suppliers who are still operating with outdated assets, technologies and processes is also increasing the cost for buyers.

The global industry has seen a gradual increase in labor cost due to several factors, such as shortage of a trained workforce, increase in minimum wages, regulations around employee benefits and declining appeal for what have been traditionally called unskilled jobs. As the employee expenses increase, suppliers are compelled to pass some of this increase to their buyers by charging higher prices.

Suppliers are disrupting traditional business models with new offerings and terms. These disruptions are also necessitating buyers to relook their procurement practices and standards with respect to supplier selection and price benchmarking activities.
