In milk and dairy products, while the rate of loss before consumption is 8.5%, consumption consumption is only 1.5%. Another outstanding food group is pulses. While the wastage rate of the legumes in the post-harvest storage, processing, packaging and distribution processes is 13%, the loss in consumption corresponds to 4% of the total production.

StokBar, which is a 100% domestic production, minimizes human error and offers many features such as intelligent warehouse management, supply chain management and inventory management.
