This study aims to elucidate the corporate behavior and issues concerning stable supply in the flour milling and feed industries. Considering corporate behavior through the lens of upgrading, emphasis has primarily been placed on ”process upgrading” in the flour milling and feed industries. Specifically, cost reductions have been achieved by diversifying raw material procurement, improving the efficiency of raw material transportation, consolidating manufacturing plants, streamlining brands, and implementing direct delivery and sales of products.
However, achieving further efficiencies in raw material sourcing, manufacturing, and sales processes proves to be challenging. Consequently, coping with price increases is not an easy task, and government support becomes indispensable. The government is called upon to make comprehensive adjustments and respond with agility according to the circumstances.
