Hemp provides globular proteins and essential fatty acids, while quinoa is rich in proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Moringa and superfruit snacks further strengthen the competition.
- The Pumpkin Seeds market is facing several challenges. Pumpkin seed production requires a significant amount of labor and time. Harvesting and drying processes are crucial to maintain its quality. The market also faces competition from other snack options. Raw material prices and production costs can fluctuate, impacting profitability. Additionally, consumer preferences for organic and non-GMO seeds create complexity in the supply chain. Adolescents and older adults are important consumer groups, but their purchasing power and dietary trends may change. Sustainability and ethical sourcing are also increasing concerns.
