Will Grocery Stores Start Running Out of Food? (Boston Magazine)

March 31, 2020


Boston Magazine (USA) published an article about food supplies and how damaging the impact of COVID-19 could become. Markets, Trade, and Institutions Division Director Rob Vos expects to see “possible shortages for fresh fruits and vegetables, as these are labor-intensive in harvesting, handling and distribution and hence could be affected by labor shortages … and social distancing requirements. These activities also rely heavily on seasonal migrant labor which could face restrictions on their movements, which is already an issue in Western Europe.”
