Key takeaways from Beroe’s recent In the Know: Product Showcase webinar on managing tariff volatility and optimizing sourcing strategies.

In the last 18 months, shifting tariffs have blindsided procurement teams with sudden cost spikes, sourcing disruptions, and high-stakes renegotiations.

The EU sugar market is undergoing a structural shift. Sugar beet acreage is projected to decline by 7 percent in the 2025/26 season, driven primarily by lower processor price signals and reduced planting incentives.

AI in drug testing applies machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), and data mining to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of preclinical and clinical testing. Applications include in silico modeling, toxicity prediction, virtual screening, and patient response modeling.

In 2025, procurement leaders face one of the most challenging pricing environments of the last decade. Inflationary pressures, while easing in some regions, continue to fluctuate unpredictably across categories, geographies, and supply chains. For global procurement teams, this volatility translates into heightened risk for category planning, supplier relationships, and budget forecasting. 

In today’s commodity markets, volatility is no longer an exception; it's the norm. Structural shifts in global supply chains, evolving production technologies, policy interventions, and repeated logistical disruptions have eroded the reliability of traditional pricing mechanisms.

Join us in this hour-long webinar with Shailesh Bhadauria, VP, Analytics Product & Solutions, and Antony Vallavanthara, Product Manager, together with moderator Sunny Makhija, Associate Director, Product Marketing, as they share practical ways to anticipate tariff changes, assess exposure, and build sourcing strategies that protect margins and strengthen resilience.
