Together with some of our historical suppliers for wheat flour based in Europe, we’ve developed an agronomic protocol that guides our practices. The suppliers work directly with selected farmers to ensure adherence to this protocol.
At Loacker, we believe that every ingredient matters. That’s why we’ve launched a project to create a sustainable supply chain for this essential raw material.

Farmers minimize nitrogen fertilization to achieve the low protein percentage required for wafer wheat flour. But it doesn’t stop there: we’re committed to preserving European landscapes. As part of our project, a minimum of 4% of a contract farmer’s total hectares must be allocated to biodiversity areas. These spaces become vital habitats for insects, birds, and small mammals.
Glyphosate and neonicotinoids have no place in our sustainable supply chain. Farmers are not allowed to use these chemicals, safeguarding both soil fertility and biodiversity. Modern sowing techniques like no-till or strip till help prevent erosion. Our farmers are motivated to implement these practices, ensuring long-term soil health.
A Win-Win for Farmers and Nature: our supply chain contracts offer reward mechanisms and incentives. Farmers benefit from stable income, while our commitment to sustainability grows stronger.
Our goal of covering 10% of our flour needs through our sustainable program by the end of 2024 was successfully achieved For 2025 we aim to reach 25%.
We look after nature to create true goodness.
