Global | Publication | ottobre 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on society and the global economy. It has created a new awakening among consumers about the importance of food security, food safety and ensuring proper commodity and food supply chains are in place which utilize safe, locally-sourced commodities and foods. In this section, we explore some of the legal and regulatory changes and challenges that are affecting food companies and agribusinesses all along the value chain from foreign worker mobility and accommodation restrictions, constrains on the supply of certain foreign-sourced products globally, trade disruptions, new protectionist and anti-trust policy developments, and important clarifications with respect to employee health and safety standards.
