Four Global Agribusiness Trends To Watch Post Covid-19

摘要

1. Because the Covid-19 pandemic puts food supply in the spotlight, it will have longlasting impacts on the agribusiness sector. It adds impetus to some of the 2020 key themes we identified at the end of 2019 for agribusiness and it will amplify and accelerate many of the sector's megatrends we have been highlighting. 2. The increased awareness of the vulnerability of food supply chains, coupled with the ongoing rise in protectionism will lead to a renewed emphasis on food security and to an increased efforts to boost local food production 3. The coronavirus is also likely to accelerate the adoption of mechanisation in developing countries and of some agtech devices such as indoor farming, vertical farming and hydroponics. 4. On the consumer side, the pandemic will lead to a new awareness and emphasis on local origin products as well as the acceleration of the 'healthification' trend.
