Outlook 2021: Seizing opportunities and recouping lossesEntering the new year with re-evaluated plans to buffer their businesses from all sorts of disruptions such as this current pandemic, manufacturers are making certain their products and services reach customers at the shortest possible time. Supply chain issues were among the most difficult for several producers, manufacturers, and retailers to handle in the past several months, and as such its management is a priority. Many companies were able to manage this with more ease than others. Some of the executives we interviewed for the 2021 outlook reports can tell you how they did it.

Along with a stronger supply chain, companies stress their compliance to safe processing, packaging and distribution of food and beverage products as their customers demand nothing less, and consumers are now extremely guarded about their health. Hygiene protocols and stricter sanitation measures are in place to help eliminate food safety breaches. Thanks to new technologies like those for inspection, remote video assistance, and packaging, etc, production becomes even smoother and faster.
