Through a newly formed Critical Infrastructure Supply Chain Council, CBA and others will take a three-prong approach to address specific supply chain challenges revealed by COVID-19, and “advance uniform, national policies that strengthen the country’s supply chains” now and in the future.
To this end, the council will share information, recommendations and best practices with policymakers; leverage its collective experience to find solutions to supply chain weaknesses and breakdowns; and serve “as a forum across industries to anticipate, spotlight and address future supply chain challenges,” according to CBA.
Is the supply chain broken?
CBA executive vice president of public affairs Bryan Zumwalt explained to FoodNavigator-USA that a council that brings together multiple voices as one is necessary because “there is clearly continued confusion around response, testing and other nuanced issues that are creating inefficiencies in the supply chain at times.”
While he praised companies for being “nimble” and responding quickly to what he described as “localized” supply chain challenges and “not an overall breakdown,” other industry stakeholders have publicly decried the opposite – triggering government action that has been met with mixed reactions.
For example, Tyson Foods Board Chairman John Tyson declared in an April 26 full-page ad that ran in several newspapers that “the food supply chain is breaking” as “pork, beef and chicken plants are being forced to close” to address COVID-19 outbreaks and related food and worker safety issues.
