Local governments have placed restrictions on trade, transport and workforce—not only do businesses need to find solutions around supply, manufacturing, transport, distribution and cost challenges, but there are certain future implications associated with the looming economic crisis. Additionally, changing consumer interests are creating renewed demand and addtional supply strain for certain health categories.
As part of Vitafoods Digital Week, this Vitafoods Insights Podcast hosts Bora Turan, Global Director of Nutraceuticals and Stan Bijsterveld, global supply chain director from IMCD Group, a global company that specialises in the sales, marketing and distribution of speciality chemicals and food ingredients.

- Regions most affected by paused manufacturing, reduced workforce and restricted transport
- How businesses are adapting to maintain supply to Europe
