What’s Happening in the World Matters...

Real Aussie Jerky… in a Changing World

At Nungra Nibbles, we keep things simple — 100% grass-fed Aussie beef, bold flavours, and snacks that actually fuel you.

But behind every bag of jerky is something most people don’t see:

👉 A global supply chain that’s constantly shifting

Right now, fuel prices, packaging costs, and supply chain disruptions are all changing how food businesses operate — including ours.

So here’s what’s happening, and what it means for you.

Fuel Prices Are Driving Up Food Costs in Australia

Rising fuel prices in Australia don’t just affect the bowser — they impact every stage of food production.

For beef jerky, that includes:

·        Transporting cattle and raw materials

·        Moving product between production and storage

·        Delivering to retailers and customers

·        Running equipment and operations

 

When diesel prices rise globally, it creates a ripple effect across the entire food industry.

👉 Higher transport costs = higher production costs

We’re working hard to absorb these increases where possible — because we know value matters to you.

Packaging Shortages Are a Growing Challenge

One of the biggest pressures right now in the food industry in Australia is packaging.

Our jerky packaging relies on:

·        Food-grade barrier pouches

·        Printed labels

·        Cartons and shipping materials

These materials are heavily tied to:

·        Oil and petrochemical supply

·        Global manufacturing capacity

·        International freight

 

That means:
👉 Packaging costs are rising
👉 Lead times are increasing
👉 Supply is less predictable

It’s one of the biggest unseen challenges facing small food brands right now.

Supply Chain Disruptions Are Slowing Everything Down

Global supply chains are still feeling the effects of:

• Shipping delays
• Port congestion
• Increased freight costs

For small businesses like Nungra Nibbles, this can mean:

• Longer wait times for materials
• Higher input costs
• More planning just to stay stocked

But it also pushes us to be smarter, more efficient, and more resilient.

What This Means for You

We’ll always be upfront with you.

Here’s what you might notice over time:

• Occasional price adjustments
• Limited availability of some flavours
• Minor changes to packaging formats if needed

But here’s what won’t change:

❌ No shortcuts on quality
❌ No cheap ingredients
❌ No compromise on flavour
