Protective cultures, used extensively in food preservation, are gaining traction in Gambia as the food and beverage industry seeks sustainable and natural preservation methods. Their role in extending shelf life and enhancing food safety underpins market growth.
The protective cultures market in The Gambia is driven by the increasing focus on food safety and extending the shelf life of perishable food products. Protective cultures, often used in fermented foods like cheese, yogurt, and meats, help prevent spoilage and ensure product quality. As the food processing industry grows and consumer demand for fresh and safe foods rises, the need for protective cultures is becoming more pronounced.
The protective cultures market struggles with low consumer awareness regarding their benefits in food preservation and health. Limited local production capabilities and dependency on imports increase costs. Additionally, regulatory challenges regarding food safety and standards slow market growth.
In the food industry, the government supports the use of protective cultures to enhance food safety and extend shelf life. Research grants and subsidies are available for developing innovative and locally adapted solutions.
