Covid-19 will define 2020 for the US poultry industry

摘要

Although there is hope the worst is over, 2020 will be remembered as one of the most challenging years ever for the poultryindustry.Since the global COVID-19 pandemic arrived in the U.S. in March 2020, the country experienced significant economic, social and political shocks. Lockdown orders, limitation of gatherings and closures of public spaces defined the first half of the year. As the second half of the year begins and cases continue to rise, the disease looks likely to be the defining issue for the rest of 2020, too.
