Optimizing Coconut Water Supply Chain: A Strategic Analysis for a Leading Water Processing Technology Firm
Challenge
The client, a leading global Water Processing Technology firm observed a growing trend in non-thermal techniques, and therefore, developed a similar technology for dehydrating coconut water into a concentrate and rehydrating the same later at a retailer.
The challenge was that the client was unable to access, collate, and analyze the viewpoint of supply chain stakeholders (Farmers, Producers, Distributors, & Retailers) on the new non-thermal technique in its main markets i.e., Europe, North America, and South America.
Solution
To evaluate the technique’s feasibility within the supply chain stakeholders, STATXO executed a thorough supply chain analysis through exhaustive survey and primary/ telephonic research, focusing on top producers in coconut-rich countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, that sourced raw coconuts from farmers and agents. It also examined company-owned and independent distributors, as well as retailers in Europe and North America, providing a complete view of the supply chain dynamics from production to retail.
