Monde Nissin CEO Henry Soesanto explained that Monde Nissin has also helped to mitigate rising operating costs by minimizing supply-chain disruptions, and ensuring sufficient supplies for key raw materials.
Soesanto stated that while we had a strong start for the year (2022), the main challenge is how we deal the global wall of commodities inflation. There is only so much you can do through supply chain efficiencies. After that, it is a mathematical certainty that we will have cost increases that we must pass on to our customers.
