Landed cost, not bag price
An improver is judged on the cost per tonne of flour treated, for an equivalent result — transport and stock included. Enter your figures, simulate the comparison.
Your current cost
What a local supplier also avoids
- Freight, insurance and customs clearance for an imported product — absent from a product manufactured in Casablanca and delivered in 24–48 h.
- A European re-stock takes weeks → inflated safety stock. With a local supplier holding permanent stock, the safety stock shrinks.
- A price in euros exposes you to currency risk for the whole contract. A price in dirhams is stable.
Indicative figures, to illustrate the reasoning. The real study starts from your values and the comparative trial baking.

Landed cost: frequently asked questions
Two improvers at the same sticker price can be dosed differently for the same result (volume, tolerance, machinability). What weighs on your cost price is the cost of the additive per tonne of flour treated — price per kilo multiplied by the dosage — including transport and stock tied up.
