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.

The final chapter of Beroe’s Future Vision report, “Artificial Intelligence: Real Decisions”, lays out a practical roadmap to help procurement teams turn AI ambition into action. It’s not about reinventing the wheel; it’s about starting smart, learning fast, and scaling with confidence. 

In the penultimate chapter of Beroe’s Future Vision report, “Artificial Intelligence: Real Decisions”, we explore embedding intelligence into the very fabric of how procurement teams work. It isn’t about flashy features, temporary fixes, or experimental pilots; it’s about building AI that can deliver ongoing real value. 

Demand for recycled resins has regained strong momentum amid a wave of new regulatory mandates across geographies, placing renewed pressure on brand owners to revisit their internal sustainability targets. The key concern is no longer why to act—but how to source enough recycled resin to meet these escalating commitments. With companies facing scrutiny from both regulators and consumers, the question looms large: Are we producing enough PCR to meet surging demand? 

In chapter six of Beroe’s latest report from its Future Vision series, “Artificial Intelligence: Real Decisions”, we look at what it really takes to make AI work in a procurement setting; and not just from a technical standpoint, but from a practical one. 

The latest blog based on Beroe’s Future Vision report, “Artificial Intelligence: Real Decisions” examines how organizations can move beyond using AI just as a tool, and start to see it as a key collaborator in improved procurement decision-making

In chapter four of Beroe’s latest report from its Future Vision series, “Artificial Intelligence: Real Decisions”, we look at five distinct ways that AI is being used by procurement teams today to increase efficiency and drive better outcomes.

The third blog exploring Beroe’s latest report from its Future Visions series, “Artificial Intelligence: Real Decisions”, moves beyond the buzz to unpack how organizations can apply AI purposefully, matching the right type of intelligence to the right moment in the procurement lifecycle.
