The COVID-19 outbreak is adversely affecting economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The food & beverage industry is among the significant industries suffering from severe disruptions, such as restrictions on supply chain and shutdown of production plants. The shutdown of various plants and factories is hindering the global supply chains and negatively impacting the manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and various goods sales. Various companies have already announced possible delays in product deliveries and slump in future sales of their products. In addition, the global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia, and North America are hampering the business collaboration and partnership opportunities.
