SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES:
With the global health crisis accelerating, most countries have closed their borders, restricting passenger and cargo movement. Additionally, amid a complete lockdown, manufacturing and other industries remain shut, impacting trade and economy. This has largely affected international trade and the food supply chain that depended on the import and export of fruits and grains to edible oils and certain processed foods, resulting in a major scarcity for Indian consumers. Not to mention the loss of revenue due to a completely non-existent international supply chain.

Increased storage for perishables
The lockdown has caused delays in the supply chain, resulting in a slow movement of raw and processed food, including perishable items. Farmers are already battling the fear of wasted produce due to a near stagnant supply chain resulting in enhanced demand for adequate storage space and conditions for these. Apart from fruits and vegetables, other processed foods with a shorter shelf life are also occupying space in warehouses, both for temperature-controlled and regular storage.

Supply chain challenges:
1) Minimization in costs and just in time deliveries. This has led to reduction of inventory buffers and left no room for adequate buffers or safeguards.
2) 75 per cent of companies reported supply chain disruptions or the other due to coronavirus-related transportation restrictions, and the figure is expected to rise.
3) In case of consumer hoarding or stocking of essential commodities and over-the-counter medicines has led to unusual stress on the supply chains.

Challenges of Supply chain :

* According to Business Line Domestic firms must develop it's own local sourcing units and adopt alternative strategies for reducing dependency on china.

* Most compsinies across the globe had been working to make their supply chain leaner

* Due to Covid-19 many companies would want to move atleast supply chain locally.

*India currently has no national strategy to deal with pandemic in the way that the US ,the UK, Japan does.

* Supply chain became so complex that only machines can do the work of keeping track of all information.

The supply chain changes are

They wanted the supply chain to be lean as much as possible

Covid 19 taught us lesson that not only cost reduction is important but also we need to concentrate on quality and delivery

Atleast part of SC shld be produced by own country it shld nt be totally dependent on China
This covid 19 is the best example for us to understand that everything cant be outsourced all the time thinking of cost

Now govnt desided to promote domestic manufacturing of critical key materials
Sir as KMF a semi govnt organization started giving its own bulk milk cooler to villages which helped both the villagers as well as the organization



Same way the govnt and corporate shld again come together and take initiative steps to provide warehouse, cold storage at taluk level and village level

Sir in this case we must think twice
India has both place to set up industry and sufficient young manpower

If we start our own production units then we wil be providing employment to the unemployed as well as we wil be manufacturing in our own country wen we can improve the quality and start mass production also

Due to many companies were relying on China's supply as base support because of covid19 many company didn't get supplies whxih were needed for production.

Hard hit is for electronic sector where the PCB board are produced in either China otlr tiwan bud due to pandemic supply has stopped.
