Pricing and texture remain key hurdles, with consumer tests in 2024 reporting willingness-to-pay premiums around 20–30% for acceptable texture. Pilot with foodie retailers and foodservice canteens to iterate SKUs rapidly, then either double down on winners or cut quickly based on repeat-buy KPIs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-orange-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-orange-section\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/BCG-Content-Questions-Image-Icon-Color-2.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFarm‑to‑fork digital traceability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-orange-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarm‑to‑fork digital traceability boosts trust and supports premiumization but 2024 consumer surveys indicate willingness‑to‑pay is mixed, commonly cited at roughly 5–15% premium; tech investment is heavily front‑loaded with implementation and integration costs concentrated in year 0–2.
