Sustainability of the European Food System The EU [...]
Starch is a natural, renewable resource for millions of Europeans.
Starch is a fundamental link in the value chain between agriculture and thousands of end products in both food and non-food applications.
Starch Europe represents a dynamic, growing and technology-driven industry
Starch Europe is a partner to governments, industry and other stakeholders who support a strong, sustainable starch industry.
A positive, progressive policy environment is essential, if the starch industry is to remain an important contributor to economic growth in Europe.
Facilitating the needs of consumers and industry
European-produced starch sits at the heart of thousands of products that we encounter in our daily lives.
The production of starch has been a mainstay of the European economy since the 18th century having first been produced from wheat, and later potatoes and maize all of which are grown in the European Union.
