Supply Chain Disruptions in the Food Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic disaster, the food industry must deal with four significant challenges that arise in the logistics and supply chain for food. During this outbreak, the most difficult difficulty for businesses is acquiring funds to develop internal capacity and supply enough supplies to society. In times of crisis, social communication is critical. When the food supply system in Canada was disrupted by the COVID-19 epidemic, short-term panic buying became self-perpetuating. Automotive, pharmaceutical, food, healthcare, and aerospace are the top five industries most likely to be affected by changes in manufacturing facility location. Automotive, pharmaceutical, food, healthcare, and aerospace are the top five industries most likely to be affected by changes in the location of manufacturing facilities, suppliers, and distribution facilities. These five industries are crucial to the economy and account for the majority of the country's manufacturing. During the COVID-19 pandemic disaster, the food industry must deal with four significant challenges that arise in the logistics and supply chain for food. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted consumer stockpiling, resulting in product shortages at major stores across the country and an increase in home delivery. During this outbreak, the most difficult difficulty for businesses is acquiring funds to develop internal capacity and supply enough supplies to society. The efficiency-seeking benefits of locating production are linked to forecasts of increased costs from new import and export taxes, as well as border delays induced by new customs clearance processes.
