In this article, we take a closer look into the specifics of the butter industry. Our exploration explains the various challenges faced by butter producers globally. From the precise handling of light butter and ghee to the specific packaging requirements of butter oil, each product comes with its own set of production and packaging needs.
Overcoming challenges in butter production
The butter industry faces a multitude of opportunities and challenges. Producing butter is a resource-intensive process, demanding 20-25 liters of milk to make just 1 kg of butter. With butter quotas a thing of the past and prices on the rise, the industry needs to navigate these creamy complexities with finesse.
One major obstacle is maintaining hygiene standards while ensuring high production speeds. Butter processors must meet stringent sanitation requirements and achieve high accuracy in packaging, often down to 5 grams on a 25kg package. The need for wrinkle-free bags and the ability to handle different weights and box formats adds another layer of complexity.
