The Ultimate Solution for Supply Chain Disruptions

With COVID-19’s emergence also came a global supply chain disruption. 

Many countries have adopted export restrictions on goods such as food and medical supplies, stifling trade. 

In addition to the lull in global trade, travel has also gradually come to a standstill. Previously, goods could take advantage of passenger flights to be transported via air. Now, with almost no operating passenger flights, ships or planes have to be specially engaged to deliver goods from abroad. These disruptions to traditional transport connections have significantly raised freight costs as well. 

A PwC and Food Industry Asia survey has reported that supply disruptions are one of two biggest challenges faced by ASEAN food companies amid the pandemic. The survey also commented that the region’s food systems are highly interdependent. Disruptions at any part of it would cause a substantial ripple effect affecting all.

For trade-reliant countries like Singapore, the disconnect between supply and demand has been one of the toughest challenges. Local food distributors and wholesalers are unable to secure the right amount of stocks to meet the demand.

To combat the supply chain problem, SGeBIZ has come together with Alliance 21 to develop a cross-border solution. It will help F&B businesses to overcome supply challenges caused by the current pandemic situation.
