Overview

Cargill must decide whether to discontinue synthetic food dyes amid declining demand and increasing regulatory and consumer pressure. Synthetic dyes are highly profitable, but a shift to natural dyes would align with market trends and customer preferences. A second decision involves selecting a production location for natural dyes—balancing cost, risk, and market proximity.
