Supply chain issues

Issues of supply chain disruption have come to the fore with the news that Marks & Spencer has to shut its 11 French stores. The question is, what is to blame – Brexit, Covid-19, lack of drivers, or all three?

The critical pieces

Sustainability continues to be a top priority globally, so the way milk is produced is becoming as important as the products made from them. Normally we don’t discuss up the supply chain too much on the blog, but a couple of supply-related events caught my eye this week.

It’s about transport

Late last week, both the US and the UK announced dairy assistance schemes. In the UK, Dairy UK and the Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board (AHDB) are working together to bring the industry together to identify spare processing capacity, how to stimulate demand and how production could be temporarily reduced.
